For me it's like I've noticed something is there but I really process it. Like my hands. It feels like I'm watching a movie of myself in a trapped glass box.
This is exactly how it feels like, it feels like one of those first person videos but instead it's reality. They don't feel like your hands but they are.
Honestly, since getting my hands and fingers tattooed to finish my sleeves, I feel slightly less depersonalization. Because I can see the tattoos and know I got them so I must be real. It's kind of weird.
first person is the best way to describe it. how do i see life normal again? how do i get out of bed and be excited for the day again? if i’m still triggered and uncomfortable by the vision and what i’m seeing. please if u know how to help let me know
I saw someone's comment which says that don't worry it's just your brain playing games with you but you have to win you are always going to win.. so don't worry let it be nd trust God❤️❤️
I heard its your brains natural response to danger. Except your brain is deeming normal scenarios as dangerous at random. Then this happen. Nah i hate when im at a long light or in the middle of working (i work outdoors) then this happen. Shit dangerous
I always felt like everything and everyone around me was overwhelmingly real, but I wasn’t. I couldn’t connect with myself or others or anything in my environment. Hardly any physical, intellectual, or emotional sensation for years. I don’t miss the feeling.
Oh God that must be awful Have you tried getting some kind of help? I’m not an expert on this stuff but I think at that point it’s called disassociation I definitely could be wrong though I’ve had it randomly throughout my life like a lot of people but one time I had it for a few days and it sucked so Hopefully some day you get better Just know I’m sure you aren’t alone
I relate this feeling to LSD/Psilocybin. I used to smoke weed every day, functioning pothead. Never had this type of feeling until one day I was high at work and everything went numb. Everything in front of me was an illusion, a simulation.. I thought i was laced with LSD haha, then i started feeling this sober. I quit smoking weed , nicotine, and drinking for more than 3 months now. I still feel unreal sometimes , its scary. I pray to God , work out , and it helps a lot. Your soul will come back for a while. But the symptoms never go away. I guess its something you live with, like if you are aware of it forever.
Omg literally same ! I'm having the feeling right now. Does it feel like ur not in control of your body and like can't feel your hands and everything feels numb and tingly. For me it really is scary and bothers me bc I feel like I can't breathe and my chest is heavy.
@@rachelslumped3302 Ive went to the ER twice thinking i was dying or I was dead, then that hospital bill really hit harder than death I guess haha. Im a manager now so I suppress these feelings immediately by telling myself to just breathe, lock in, and to look after my workers because they need me , or else the company crashes. Creating responsibility, and gaining purpose, and goals back locks you back in. Sleep good while you can. Ever since i only get these symptoms when i get home from work and im trying to sleep, or having a stressful shift. My symptoms are slowly fading away. Primarily just tell yourself it is what it is , and do not fear death.
For me it’s like I go numb and whenever I snap out of it it’s foggy to renember. It kind of feels like I’m wearing someone else’s skin, because I think “I actually have a face. I actually have these hands.” And it feels like a dream
Ong. For me my reality doesnt feel the same anymore and the music I listen to doesnt feel the same, same goes for my surroundings. Its been there for 3 weeks.
Also sometimes my mind makes me think some stupid questions like "What if everything is my own concisousness and everything is just in my mind, all the ppl I love and I cherished my reality is just my own mind" I have been feeling lost fof about 3 weeks.
@@everydayphoenix same for you:) if you every feel like your in a different place, like if you are in your bedroom but it feels like your in the kitchen or something then you have to drink some cold ice water
If we are having this problem the solution is sleep! It feels like a dream because you are hyper aware that life is a dream. I believe this occurs when your sleep debt adds up. Wakefulness is Rapid Eye Movement. You want that REM when you’re sleep not awake. REM processes the series of images that your brain stores in your imagination which projects your dreams
Hello. Here is a tip: if you have episodes where you just freeze and you feel like everything is just blurry and you cant even think, just let it run through you. Don’t rub your eyes or do anything to come back. Just let it happen and soon your brain will realize theres nothing wrong and let it pass. Im sorry if that doesnt work for you im not a medical professional. But i hope that maybe helped.
Feels like you're spectating "yourself" and your life through vr glasses, to the point it touches your past memories either good or bad ones, you feel like you wasn't the one who experienced any of it and sometimes can't recall the pain linked to the bad memories (ex : getting bullied or slapped by someone) or you can't recall the emotions linked to a particular past event, no emotional connection whatsoever, to the point your memories are put to the level of mere fantasies (even mere fantasies can sometimes ignite inside you some emotions aka "maladaptive daydreaming" for schizoid folks). And let alone the phenomenon when events that never ever happened to you feel like they did happened and you're certain about it, and vice versa. Hope some people relate to this.
This shit was so scary when it first happened. I smoked a J w m’y friends friend and it was loud lasted until I went to bed the next night. Was so scary didn’t smoke for a week. Now it happens most of the time it’s hella addicting I LOVE/HATE it. Rn I wanna experience it again, but then when it happens it freaks me out when I think I’m somewhere I’m not. At this point I can’t sleep sober.
I’m still convinced that sound is not real and we all communicate telepathically and everything you hear is simply what your brain creates to continue to comfort you into believing this reality is true.
as much as i hate to admit this i've experienced it, not only was it the first day of a really important exam that dictates if you're ever going to uni, but it also happened on the day of the subject that you need to pass in order to get a certificate. unfortunately, i didn't do well, my hands were shacking, i felt a fever, couldn't think properly. everything around me didn't seem real. i'm scared this'll continue with my other papers. i pray to god this won't happen.
Dont worry. The good thing is that many ppl cab relate so yur not alone. Also just to give u a brief reminder, if some annoying thoughts come like "What if I everything is just my own mind ans everything is fake etc." I wouldnt recommend thinking mucb bout it cuz you give the belief the power if you continue to think about it.
I didn't feel trapped when I experienced it and it was only once, but my god, it was so terrifying I was staring at my hands and questioning if those are mine, is the world real and I had this dizzy feeling, its so weird and scary. I hope yall are okay.
I've had this for 5-6 years maybe even longer.. it has gotten stronger and i feel weird 24/7. I'm extremely tired all the time, i feel extremely detached from myself and everyone. Mostly i feel empty but when i do feel someting, it's often really strong and really extreme, like strong anger or depression. you're just in a different world or detached from reality. I've also read that derealization is triggered by strong anxiety or strong emotions. I'm hypersensitive so that makes sense. I'm also in the autism spectrum, i can't really express my emotions to anyone, but idk if that's because of the autism or derealization lol. My brain's just numb bro
Hppd since autumn 2010.. Lately I have been wondering if it could be a metabolic problem of your brain not getting enough energy. I experience alot of fatigue, unable to do heavy work like I used to without symptoms getting worse. Sometimes I ger tingeling in hands and feet. If I eat alot of sugar I will get more like migraine feeling, headache and light sensitivity. I hear ketogenic diets can be beneficial for mental health and slow down an over active brain. I hear about people treating anxiety, bipolar etc on a carnivore diet. But I have never heard anyone mentioning do/dr, hppd or visual snow syndrome in that context. I started to eat almost carnivore since a couple of days. Meat, eggs, butter and pickled veggies and a few blueberries because they are in season and abundant in the forest right now. I will give it at least a month to see if anything improves.
it’s just the anxiety that makes u feel like that. I feel like everything around me is fake and so is everyone else, I start questioning why we are human and whether everything around me is actually real.
I have had this for 3 years in a row. Constant symptoms and waves of panic attacks. It sucks. I have a very serious version of it, and it makes my life 200x worse. If i make it out, i will cry happy tears for weeks.
@@aneeshkumar9704 thx for the reply, I feel like I'm getting better. The problem is class, it hits like a semi truck, but lately I've had no panic attacks, just feels like I'm on the verge of one. No panic attacks is like a dream tho
@@Cool-i-guess thats amazing.. i feel better too..but sometimes feel like derealization and a bit dizzy... i hope it ends soon ...did you also feel less connected to tha outside world when you were in anxiety cycle?
@@aneeshkumar9704 That's great! And yes, this morning right when I stepped out of my dad's house, into the hallway (it's an apartment), I felt way way way more detached. I've been doing way better, and I felt horrible. When we got outside I felt like I was gonna pass out, and I kept having to close my eyes. I was walking right up near the cars, because for me, at least, having objects closer to my sides, (like sitting next to a wall in a building) helps a lot with dpdr, (ig it makes me feel more real, since there's a real object next to me.) So yeah, it feels really weird. The only part that really gets to me anymore is the feeling of unreality, and the feeling that I'm fake. Don't get me wrong, everything else that comes with dpdr still affects me, but this feeling really gets me. Knowing that other people are dealing with this makes me feel so much better though. And trying to get rid of this is very weird. You have to really minimize how much you think of it, and you have to accept it. It's super weird, and very hard for me at least. It's not like you can just try as hard as you can to get rid of it, you just gotta feel with it. Anyways, today was definitely my worst day in a while, because of the detachment of outside. I hope we can make it through this! Try not to think about it, if you are, then don't judge it, act like it's your bestie, and be like, "Yeah, you are gonna ruin my day today! Good job buddy!" A few days ago in class, I was taking state-wide testing and I was focused onto the test, then I saw some weird visual whatever's over in front of me, and I acted like I was in a live stream. I said, "I'm just doing my test, dp's doing his own thing over there." It helps so much! If you want, we could try and connect over discord, or whatever you have, and maybe talk in dm's or something like that, we could give each other moral support ig, talk therapy, is the only known way to really help dpdr!
Mine is 24/7 non stop for 2 years now I have it bad it feels like I have a vr head set on and the way I see the world makes everything look like I live in a painting that everything has been painted, everything I look at looks so small even I feel small like the size of a action figure and everyone looks very scary they look like uncanny people.
Ive been struggling with this for the past three weeks it gets better than worse and I just want to be normal again ,and all induced by cannabis I've stopped but now I'm dealing with the lasting affect of derealization
Just experienced this for the first time yesterday on psilocybin. I was ok then all the sudden I saw myself walk forward and then felt it after. Had to sit down and was aware I was on 🍄 and knew it wasn't real
For me it’s like I’m listening to an audio book, of my life, I’m just listening to how sad it is to me and processing it from an outside view. It feels so depressing, just looking at my hands it gets blurry. It feels like I’m falling when it happens.
Everything everyone feels so alien a part of me is connected to reality and apart of me isn’t it’s a realization of how weird the world endless questions
I had it so bad in class today most times it happens but today was different my hands were shaking so bad I was panicking and about to cry then I did cry in class but I didn’t want to tell my teacher so I kept my head low and I picked it back up later on and I felt super light headed and my ears started ringing and I was super fidgeting and sweating and my heart was beating so fast and I was texting my bf and my bsf and they helps my calm down some and like 10 mins later it stopped like I was freaking tf outt
Hey everyone, I'm proud to say that not only does this get better, but it can also eventually go away too. In 2021 I was extremely depressed and having several panic attacks daily, which sent me into almost constant derealization. I ended up checking myself into the ER cause uh... I wanted to unalive myself shall we say. During my recovery (which I did with the help of my family) I made this list of all the videos that helped me since I couldn't find much Info on it. I know it's terrifying and extremely unsettling but you'll heal too. Be kind to yourself and remember that you're not crazy, you're just hurting. Love you guys!! th-cam.com/play/PLLJYuBgviqU_BQ9j2IhfjA7ADknro3_f6.html
I just got a mild derealization experience I dont do any drugs , also i have mild ocd ,i am somehow managing myself Yesterday something strange happened i thought i do not belong to this world and felt like this world is a dream but went away after 1 hour i was so scared But now i am ok like previously my anxiety was 18/20 and now like 4.5/20
@@skye3830it’s my firm belief, that people who get trapped on the cycle of DPDR have existential OCD as a result of their initial experience. This keeps them perpetually trapped in their fear response, due to the fear they have around their own fear response (the DPDR). That’s why it’s absolutely essential to “get used” to the sensations, so they no longer cause you fear, thus allowing your body to recover.
@KingBongBoonas someone who’s experienced the terror firsthand, in a safe and monitored environment i would like to return to this state again to experiment
I've had this happen to me during school but I don't know if it's bad or not but it's not often and I don't get panic attacks or anything it just happens and I'm just like "umm what's happening?" then I feel like nothing real and it usually makes me question reality I think about life being nothing but a game of chess or sims.
For me I feel lightheaded and a tiny bit dizzy. I feel like I'm not real and I'm 'spectating myself' I am really confused afterwards and I always look at my surroundings. I dont know if this is also because of derealisation but I remember I literally 'shut down' for half a second broke a cup I was holding. I literally blacked out and I'm not sure what it was.
This is a really good representation. I used to have DPDR, now I'm with medication and it is gone Even, though...sounds strange, but I want it back, I don't want those pills anymore... Does anybody feel the same?
The first time i started feeling this or like this is when me and my sister were painting and i asked her do u ever feel like ur not real and she was like wdym
I might be the only one to say this but personally it’s kinda cool, then again I’m now suspecting I’ve had it for well over a decade now that I’m properly looking up on it. The main and only real reason I say It’s kinda cool is because it feels like the reality you’ve known all your life is now different the way you see, feel, smell ect is altered which to me personally it’s really interesting so I’m not really scared of it
Last halloween i was trick or treating with my friend and her friend and that happened at someone's door step i was so embarsed i was cryingggg- some kid thought i was fake 😭
It’s usually really mild like time passes fast and yea but sometimes when I’m in load environments and to much stuff is going on I just feel out of my body it’s scary asf kinda seems like a simulation
idk bro i just keep looking at my hands and moving them and watching them and trying to convince myself theyre mine please help im 13 this shouldnt be happeninh im supposed to be normal
one time i was having a conversation with a friend while i was walking and uhh... i started going deep into my thoughts for some reason and...got caught in a dp/dr episode- i almost walked into someone and my body felt weird and shaky 💀💀💀💀💀
Sometimes when im thinking Im like “How am i able to hear my voice.. if im not talking” Or id look at my fingers and move them, as if im trying to catch myself not moving them like how i want it do Idk Everything feels fake But Its not,. Heh. YOLO 😍😍😍😍😍‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
For me it's like I've noticed something is there but I really process it. Like my hands. It feels like I'm watching a movie of myself in a trapped glass box.

A few days ago in class, I was taking state-wide testing and I was focused onto the test, then I saw some weird visual whatever's over in front of me, and I acted like I was in a live stream. I said, "I'm just doing my test, dp's doing his own thing over there." It helps so much! If you want, we could try and connect over discord, or whatever you have, and maybe talk in dm's or something like that, we could give each other moral support ig, talk therapy, is the only known way to really help dpdr!
Mine is 24/7 non stop for 2 years now I have it bad it feels like I have a vr head set on and the way I see the world makes everything look like I live in a painting that everything has been painted, everything I look at looks so small even I feel small like the size of a action figure and everyone looks very scary they look like uncanny people.
Ive been struggling with this for the past three weeks it gets better than worse and I just want to be normal again ,and all induced by cannabis I've stopped but now I'm dealing with the lasting affect of derealization
Just experienced this for the first time yesterday on psilocybin. I was ok then all the sudden I saw myself walk forward and then felt it after. Had to sit down and was aware I was on 🍄 and knew it wasn't real
This is perfect
For me it’s like I’m listening to an audio book, of my life, I’m just listening to how sad it is to me and processing it from an outside view. It feels so depressing, just looking at my hands it gets blurry. It feels like I’m falling when it happens.
me realizing i was right and i do have anxiety disorder of some sort and my mom just doesn’t realize there is something with me
Everything everyone feels so alien a part of me is connected to reality and apart of me isn’t it’s a realization of how weird the world endless questions
The first time this happened to me I got scared and started crying but it felt so unreal I even forgot what I was doing😪😪
I had it so bad in class today most times it happens but today was different my hands were shaking so bad I was panicking and about to cry then I did cry in class but I didn’t want to tell my teacher so I kept my head low and I picked it back up later on and I felt super light headed and my ears started ringing and I was super fidgeting and sweating and my heart was beating so fast and I was texting my bf and my bsf and they helps my calm down some and like 10 mins later it stopped like I was freaking tf outt
Hey everyone, I'm proud to say that not only does this get better, but it can also eventually go away too. In 2021 I was extremely depressed and having several panic attacks daily, which sent me into almost constant derealization. I ended up checking myself into the ER cause uh... I wanted to unalive myself shall we say. During my recovery (which I did with the help of my family) I made this list of all the videos that helped me since I couldn't find much Info on it. I know it's terrifying and extremely unsettling but you'll heal too. Be kind to yourself and remember that you're not crazy, you're just hurting. Love you guys!!

I just got a mild derealization experience
I dont do any drugs , also i have mild ocd ,i am somehow managing myself
Yesterday something strange happened i thought i do not belong to this world and felt like this world is a dream but went away after 1 hour i was so scared
But now i am ok like previously my anxiety was 18/20 and now like 4.5/20
@@nishchal_yt7750 I totally get that. I have ocd too, pretty severe at times unfortunately. It is nottttt good when you combine dpdr with rumination 😳
@@skye3830it’s my firm belief, that people who get trapped on the cycle of DPDR have existential OCD as a result of their initial experience. This keeps them perpetually trapped in their fear response, due to the fear they have around their own fear response (the DPDR). That’s why it’s absolutely essential to “get used” to the sensations, so they no longer cause you fear, thus allowing your body to recover.
1 year 24/7 and it didn’t went away nor got any better at all, heck it even got permanently worse
Bro can you reply I want important suggestion
I am going through ocd rumination and dpdr
Simultaneously
wow. i feel this 24/7. its so strange and bad feel because you dont know who you are. i feel like i lost my head. why?
I just had to walk out of a group because of this experience, everyone around me feel like they're weren't real
For me i feel real in a world that isn't and i confuse myself with theories😔
my favorite feeling
@KingBongBoon im sure as hell i did, and i liked it
@KingBongBoonas someone who’s experienced the terror firsthand, in a safe and monitored environment i would like to return to this state again to experiment
It feels like a fever dream
I had this during a very stressful time in my life. I couldn’t even trust myself to drive a car.
Its as if im looking from a third p.o.v with amnesia the jumping to different time frame thing is spot on
Ive had it hit me so hard, that when i ground myself and take a knee, I swear I can feel the Earth rotating.
I lived with it for like 6y now and it just keeps on getting worse and worse
it only feels like this at school
I had this when i tried vr
I would walk and then suddenly gasp bc I couldn't feel my body and thought I wasn't here
That happened to me when I was at the gym i felt so weird like idk I was there but I wasn’t
I've had this happen to me during school but I don't know if it's bad or not but it's not often and I don't get panic attacks or anything it just happens and I'm just like "umm what's happening?" then I feel like nothing real and it usually makes me question reality I think about life being nothing but a game of chess or sims.
I had depersonalization 3 months and I still have it
For me I feel lightheaded and a tiny bit dizzy. I feel like I'm not real and I'm 'spectating myself' I am really confused afterwards and I always look at my surroundings. I dont know if this is also because of derealisation but I remember I literally 'shut down' for half a second broke a cup I was holding. I literally blacked out and I'm not sure what it was.
Been dealing with this over 3 years
Same, been looking for solutions. Got any tips?
@@mikebranchwarmer1263I'm looking for solutions too, from what I hear, it seems to never go away. Makes me really wish I could go back to normal.
It’s like you go into pure observer mode
Anyone ever had this but it been in a different situation.
Fr sometimes i would make my body fall down in the ground to stop it it works but i don't recommend it bc it would hurt ur head
I have this 10 years everyday 😢
This is a really good representation. I used to have DPDR, now I'm with medication and it is gone
Even, though...sounds strange, but I want it back, I don't want those pills anymore...
Does anybody feel the same?
The first time i started feeling this or like this is when me and my sister were painting and i asked her do u ever feel like ur not real and she was like wdym
I might be the only one to say this but personally it’s kinda cool, then again I’m now suspecting I’ve had it for well over a decade now that I’m properly looking up on it. The main and only real reason I say It’s kinda cool is because it feels like the reality you’ve known all your life is now different the way you see, feel, smell ect is altered which to me personally it’s really interesting so I’m not really scared of it
That's me everyday ane I can't get it away from me .
I don’t feel real . Like how other people feel real , it’s like I’m a ghost
Fr huh I have it n still smoke week shii is crazy af
when I see myself in the mirror, I feel i’m in the mirror, talking to myself
Experience this since little. It's not very long, for me, it's mostly 1-3 minutes.. I always think that this is a dream or smth. But it's not
Last halloween i was trick or treating with my friend and her friend and that happened at someone's door step i was so embarsed i was cryingggg- some kid thought i was fake 😭
I HATE THE FEELING IM GOINH THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW
It’s usually really mild like time passes fast and yea but sometimes when I’m in load environments and to much stuff is going on I just feel out of my body it’s scary asf kinda seems like a simulation
Me when i got this: woah... Why do i feep like im on cocaine?
So true 👍
idk bro i just keep looking at my hands and moving them and watching them and trying to convince myself theyre mine please help im 13 this shouldnt be happeninh im supposed to be normal
one time i was having a conversation with a friend while i was walking and uhh... i started going deep into my thoughts for some reason and...got caught in a dp/dr episode- i almost walked into someone and my body felt weird and shaky 💀💀💀💀💀
It's feels im going to crazy😭
2023 was my last real year. :(
I always question myself that if im real and feel kind of weird
The only way u could feel what its like is to put on a VR headset w/ a camera on the front & watch ur life through the headset
What I feel like is everything is fake and I'm the only one with a consciounce
Idk if its same for u but i hear a voice repeat in my head and like flash out and then everything feels weird
Got Derealization from vr and yes this is kinda what it felt like but it didn’t last long
that light pissed me off so much get it away.
Am i dead? Dude its bad, no its not beyond hopeless. I can still be hopeful.
How you doin ?
Sometimes when im thinking
Im like
“How am i able to hear my voice.. if im not talking”
Or id look at my fingers and move them, as if im trying to catch myself not moving them like how i want it do
Idk
Everything feels fake
But
Its not,.
Heh.

My body is carrying by someone else.... 😥 for the past 20+ years i am suffering dp
