Did you feel like you couldn't make conversation without sounding unintelligent? Or even impatient cause you were in your head? This is what I'm experiencing, also I saw this video today after smoking yesterday thankful for this realization.. I'm just trying to know if others relate
@@anonymou5spaz940 I felt like I wasn't real anymore. I had forgotten what I used to be like. The people around me were fake and I was just dreaming all the time. You need to stop researching and just to hang out with friends, watch movies, etc etc constantly and eventually youll think of it less and less and it will fade
@@AK-qg4tg Don't worry, DP is really common! I know it can be a strange and frightening experience at times but don't worry, it's temporary, it can't hurt you and people recover from it all the time 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/depersonalization-definition-what-is-it/
That's because it's new. Before they never had these problems because it was low THC levels. Stick to CBD rich and indica Dominant, home grow your stuff
you’re here. you’re alive. this is the real world. i’m going through the same thing as you and too take my mind off of things, i binge netflix shows. when i look around everything starts slowing down and my heart drops but you need to realize that thinking about it is not healthy. you need to try and stay calm and start attaching yourself to realty when you feel like things are falling off. this quarantine is vvv hard for people like us, i know. we’re stuck in one house i know it’s scary but i promise you you’re living and everything’s real. i love you and you got this, i believe in you.
I've been going through this for 5 days now, but every day it gets less severe, and I feel a little more back in reality. Drugs are not for me. Thank you for this video it helped so much
@@basketballuce3704 Ugh I had the worst experience 2 days ago. I was with god and the devil. It was like a never ending orgasm and then switched to feeling like I was burning alive for my sims as the devil. But then I was both of them? It fucked me up. I was fully convinced i was living in a simulation when I woke up but my friends reassured me everything is real. I’m feeling a bit better today tho. Drugs are fucked up
for me, i felt like i’d forgotten everything about myself. my interests felt fake, i didn’t know how i’d usually act and talk, and forgot what the people around me were like too
Hey Olivia, thanks for your comment! 😊 And don't worry, existential thoughts like that are super common with DP and will fade away and stop as you recover: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
I can not Express this enough take adderal I had it tooke only 20 mg i am 100 percent fully back better than ever before it's the cure no one talks about. Amphetamines have opposite affects on the brain than marijuana
@@kevinvaldez3946 went through 2 weeks of complete depersonalization from marijuana edibles. My full personality and perception came back through adderal it was as if I never even touched the edibles in the first place.
I was diagnosed with dp/dr from an edible intake. It took me about less than 2 months to recover. I’m very grateful for this experience as it only helped me improve my mental strength and allowed me to have control over my anxiety. To the people that are suffering from this know that your never alone as God is watching over you and ensuring you safety. Tough times only make stronger people. God Bless 🙏
Hi bro this is esthak iam also suffering like you,after the extreme weed badtrip.its been 50 days now, many symptoms went away ,The problem now is lack of interest, i feel that Iam not going to enjoy things which i previously enjoyed.lack of curiousness and sharpness,can this also go away?? Please reply🙏 Also explain the end days of your recovery
Good point! 😊 And yes, it's very common to have vivid dreams with DP (and all anxiety-based conditions): www.dpmanual.com/articles/why-does-depersonalization-affect-sleep-and-dreams/
@@Dpmanual it also seems to be making my thoughts feel more real, I'll randomly imagine my parents calling my name from upstairs or imagine hearing a second of a song and sometimes it feels like I'm actually hearing it.
@@Melonbread103 Don't worry, those types of thoughts are super common with DP 😊 Check out this article and video: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
You are honestly such a saint for making this video. When I suffered marijuana/alcohol mixed induced DP for a month I was absolutely convinced I had permanently damaged my brain, and that I had unlocked some schizophrenic disorder in me. Thankfully I am back to normal now but I wish I would've found this when I was suffering from DP lol
@@omnis1182 I also had this lmao. First time I had DP because of edibles and it went away after a week. And on New Year, I mixed alcohol and marijuana and now its been like that for 3 months almost. Its not stressing me anymore, but it just wont go away and its incredibly annoying
@@johann8128 That sucks man. I wonder if it's a genetic thing. Seems like we'll never be able to enjoy Marijuana or Alcohol like normal people. Never touching this shit ever again.
me too bro, the intersting thing is that my dreams are vivid and real for the most part. It's like the brain saying "don't worry you still can experience live to it's fullest"

You just gotta realize that depersonalization is self-inflicted even though it doesn't seem like it. You're constantly monitoring your own body and mind which puts you in a state of dissociation, especially when combined with fear. The cure is to just live your life, and you'll eventually forget about it and you will feel 100% normal again.
@@mohamedaminesaidani9716 for me it took about a month to a month and a half but what you have to realize is that it feeds off you thinking about it you just need to distract yourself and continue
Thank you for the comments in these chains it's so so so so so so so reliving I absolutely love you all thank you I'm glad I'm not alone and the reassurance and experience from others helps so much
I feel like I'm watching my life through my eyes but don't actually have control over my thoughts and actions. Often I have to tell myself "I am [my name]. I am real. This is real. This is happening. You can control it."

To anyone struggling from DPDR induced by weed, trust me I’ve been there. Last year I took a super strong edible and freaked out when it actually kicked in, I felt like I was dead. The next morning I woke up still feeling high and basically traumatized from last night. It was like a never ending high day after day with constant anxiety attacks and DPDR. It took me 3 months but it could’ve been cured much faster if I listened to these 3 things. 1. It is just anxiety - don’t freak out it’s just anxiety from a bad experience, it may feel uncomfortable and unbearably but do not let it control you 2. Go with the flow - towards the end the way I beat dpdr was just accepting that it was gonna be there and not caring if it was there or not, it eventually faded and now I haven’t had dpdr in 2 months 3. Some consider DPDR form of enlightenment and just breathe through anxiety attacks, take advantage of the fact that you have a heightened sense of consciousness. I know some of you reading this will be like “3 months 🤯🤯🤯 it’s been one day” trust me just follow my advice and go with the flow, don’t stress about it and it will go away I promise, you will be ok
This is actually very interesting because I have a dissociative disorder and it is fairly simular to DPDR. I actually might have experienced weed induced DPDR a fair amount of times but its just your head fucking with yourself and you need to realise that. I myself dont give a shit if im here or not and thats very crucial because you only space out once you start thinking about it too much. the human mind is a box full mystery.
I recovered from DP, it took weeks for me to get back into reality. It was soo hard for me to sit in school with this! But i overcame it! Thanks to GOD.
@@nzyrox2890 Don't worry, it doesn't matter how long you've had it, you can still recover 100% 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/is-depersonalization-permanent/
same i couldnt explain too my parents what it is or was i didnt know how too say it and now these comments and this vid actually helped and makes me soo happy that there are people that know what im going through
Hey dude. Do you think you could please respond to me? Im so glad that you eventually overcame depersonalization. Im going through this right now. I got mine from weed, I had a huge panic attack and the next day I woke up and I felt like I had gone to a different dimension like it doesnt feel like the real world. Ive started to have days where the anxious thoughts go away but the dp is always kind on in the background. I wanted to ask you since you are a guy and Im a guy too..........did you notice if m*****bating had any effect on dp or not? Not to get too personal but Ive just been doing it as if everything was normal but I havent actually noticed any difference after I m*****bate. Sometimes if I dont do it for a few days my dp gets better but it sometimes comes back even if I haven't m*****bated in a while. Do you think you could please tell me what your experience with this was? This is all totally serious by the way
For real, at first I had no idea this was so common and it’s been making me so depressed and scared but I have been searching for hours and feel so much better now.
Ikr it’s crazy how I found this video. Been suffering from these symptoms but didn’t know what it was and how to tackle it. Now that I know, I hope it gets better!
This happened to me for 10 months in my junior year of high school and those were some of the hardest times ever in my life. To who ever is struggling with this, it’ll all eventually be okay. Meditate, vent to a close friend, get insanely obsessed with your passion or anything you love. Overtime it will ware off. Much Love and healing to everyone.
@@vegavega3068 my bad, mine started in sophomore and didn’t end until junior year. I have pretty tough ADHD and OCD so I dwelled a lot on my DR/DP. The way I got through it was when I met my girlfriend that time, it was something new in my life and something very different. It completely dragged me away from all my bad thoughts and put me in a happier place. I started to focus on goals I had and I eventually forgot about my problems I had in my head. Very thankful. I prayed a lot and it got better. You’ll be okay.
@@davinciii162 you should be able to control your mind and accept yourself because from my various bad trips these were my biggest problems. I can recommend meditating and running
It goes away! Here's my story. So it was 12 am, I was 13. Me and my cousin went out and she convinced me to smoke weed. I said why not, she does it all the time so it wouldn't be so bad? That day was the hardest thing to go though. Multiple panic attacks, the feeling of everything zooming in and out, I don't know, it felt as if I took LSD or something. Because it didn't feel like weed. It was hell. I had to deal with it for 2 years, constantly landing on my knees and praying to God that it would fucking go away. I had no hope, and thought I broke my brain. Everyday I had to cope with my panic attacks and overthinking. This is where everything changed. I actually started to get more intelligent, smart and calmer. I learnt to control my panic attacks, because I've been through so much during the year. I grew stronger, and promise to never, NEVER fucking touch that shit again. I turned towards god and exercise, even meditate, things I never usually do. I study more and focus on my musical talents, and I'm more social. DPDR is a gate to hell and the most helpful medicine you could even have. Listen, it gets better. It gets better. I promise.
Same bro like literally bro it changed my life for a good and bad because now I got a job and my license so I know what u saying it made turned to god to man it’s the worst feeling I swear to god I tell you
Hey, someone please help me. I'm 15, I have ADHD and I smoked for the first time a couple months ago, and have done edibles a couple times in the past month. when I smoked I was so incredibly paranoid and had the worst trip ever (I did it in a park). so I had "an anxiety attack" at school like a week later, which I now think is dp/dr, as i'd never experienced anything like this before doing weed. so I took some edibles at home, hoping that I wouldn't be paranoid this time as I was safe at home, but I was still really paranoid. I had really bad cotton mouth. now, almost every day I get these "anxiety attacks" where nothing feels real and I can't use my phone properly (it feels exactly how it was when I was high) and I start freaking out but I can't move, walk or talk properly, so I'll just sit in silence. I can always feel my tongue in my mouth and it feels really big and uncomfortable (like cotton mouth), its a horrible feeling and it never goes away now. I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless. Is this dp/dr?
@@vb7395 bro how you handle that is be outside more find things you like don’t think about it so hard also don’t smoke weed no more because it can make it worse u good man
Altin it fades with time, I still have it, but it's nowhere as bad as it used to be. get your mind off it dont think about it, i know it's hard. do you things you love with the people you love. live your life as if you didnt have it at all. dont overthink it because it's not going to fix it.
@@pulpcitrus4778 your lucky ive been suffering with this for 3 years almost, funny thing is i didnt get it from weed, i simply woke up one morning and had it really bad but went to bed the night before completely fine, its crazy cause its like my life literally changed overnight and to be honest i dont even know if its DP, i dont quiet know what im experiencing and its fucking with my head real bad, however the feeling does kinda get worse when i smoke weed id say sometimes it fades away by atleast 90% and it mostly effects my vision because everything for the last 3 years have looked really different.

The smell of weed being smoked gives me PTSD and instant DP. Now that it’s legal in Canada, I have no idea how to avoid it from occurring. It’s everywhere
Don't worry, that's just an associational fear and it will fade away and stop in time 😊 It''s not actually the weed that causes the condition, it's the trauma of a bad reaction to the weed. Read this article carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/

a W a big help recently has been cutting caffeine out of my life entirely. It definitely caused a few weeks of constant headaches, but has helped cut down the episodes to far less
I want to come back to this video and kindly thank the creator of this video for making this. I experienced depersonalization about 3 years ago. This video helped me almost immediately, and in a couple of weeks/months, I completely moved on and forgot about this experience. Thank you once again, you’re doing Gods work 🙏🏼
Hurts my heart to see how many people go through this and not know what it is or how it’s caused 😔. I pray for everyone that’s goes through this, please spread the word! Great video.
Struggled with this for about a year, most of which I didn’t even know the condition had a name. I was so scared and confused. no one understood what was happening to me and neither did I. I’m out of it now, but if you’re still swimming in it, engage in activities to ground you in reality. You can get through this! And pray. That helped me a lot.
did you have existentional terrible fears? I constantly think about dying, about sense of things around me and it freaks me out so far. I'm afraid I can't recognize how being normal feels like. I almost have no hope because I haven't met anyone who'd told about fears like mine...
@@Максим-з1щ9о Don't worry, existential thoughts and fears like that are super common with DP and will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 Read this article carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
xvizdereq I didn’t have fear of dying but i struggled HEAVY with fear of never finding normal again. For me, existentialism was always something I was interested in, and I think the dp just made me more affected by it. To make that get better I cut existential media out of my diet completely. No more videos about it. As for finding normal, I think the guy in the video is right. The FEAR of not finding normal is ultimately the worst part of it. for me it was actually the whole thing. I still struggle with it sometimes, but as I work with a therapist I realize this is more of a reflection of my low self-esteem and my distrust in my ability to provide a life for myself that I will be satisfied with. My distrust that i can change and grow, even after bad things happen. That is the fundamental issue of long term dp (imo). 1. Cut existentialism out of your internet-diet COMPLETELY and 2. work on proving to yourself that you are capable of growth and change. For me that looked like going to therapy, giving myself a room makeover, exercising, being more attentive in my relationships, going to therapy (lmao).
xvizdereq getting a new job, things that will bring tangible, physical change into the 3D world so that you have a better grip on reality, not just living in your head all the time, and not in a virtual reality either. I’m a musician, so I got on a schedule releasing music once a week. If you have dp, you need structure to help you heal. Your mind needs to regain trust in the physical realm again, and it needs to believe you are a physical being in a tangible reality so that it can go back to functioning normally. And you can help provide that healing by intentionally reacquainting your brain with the 3rd dimension.
I had depersonalization and panic attacks for 6 months, I am once again normal, you will get through it!!! Start jogging and go for walk to open fields you will feel more real, the running will help the anxiety and panicky feeling making you recover faster! this was a humbling experience. I feel reborn and with purpose to achieve everything I coulsnt do while stuck suffering with dp
So trippy, I was at a point to where I would have rather died than continue to live that way. Knowing someone else was going through the same thing on forums really pulled me out of the gutter. I stopped feeling it completely eventually.
@@relevance4890 that good I'm happy for you I'm going through this right now this is the lowest point of my life so far what were your symptoms and how did you recover
@@Rudeboii1k I understand, I swear to you I was there, being told by Psychs it was just general anxiety. One mentioned the word depersonalization and I googled it, perfect match. My main symptom was cloudiness and the out of it feeling, very weightless physically, constantly thinking of that cloudiness and wondering if I was feeling like "myself" but I was always so disconnected. Slowly but surely it went away and it seemed I would never not have that thought but you will get better I promise. No smoking or even drinking helped a giant amount as well as a job/hobby, keep your brain occupied. Gaming for hours even would be hours I wasn't thinking about it.
I wish this video existed in 2011 when I had this experience. I felt so alone, lost, hopeless, etc... and had nobody to relate to. My depersonalization lasted fully for about 3 years, but started to drift away. Almost 9 years later I still experience spurts of it, but it's honestly changed my life in a weirdly positive way and I have a better outlook on life. To anyone reading this who is deep in depersonalization right now, keep on keeping on! You aren't alone and your emotions are completely valid. It WILL go away. Don't give up. If you need someone to talk to, relate to, etc... please reach out!
This happened to me for over a year and it was terrible. But I was able to overcome it and am 100% back to normal. I distracted myself with college and got a 4.0 gpa for the first time in my life. I was even able to smoke weed again in small amounts, but the anxiety slowly started to return, so I cut it out completely and it was the best decision I ever made. I wish I had this video when I was experiencing DP, but had to figure this out all on my own. The tips in this video are great, be kind and patient with yourself and you will get through it! Now that it's all over, I even think it made me a stronger person, as crazy as that sounds. Weed can be helpful for many people, but this darker side of the drug needs to be talked about more. If you're experiencing DP, listen to this video and hang in there!
Reading these comments makes me feel so much better. I started going through DP and thought I was going crazy. Turns out im safe and sound. Keep going everyone! it gets better!
Yeah bro I thought I was going mad. I know the devil can desire to lie to people bro, and he was turning my mind against me. But it's ok, it's better now.
Long story kinda short: I had a horrendous weed edible experience two weeks ago. I was so high I couldn't control my thoughts, nothing made sense. I could trust nothing. I didn't even want to watch TV. It was like living a fever dream but I was awake. NO home remedy worked and I was convinced this hellish experience was permanent. I woke up high and disoriented. This persisted for 2 days, especially the disconnect with time - a 20 min car ride felt like a freakish 4 hours. It felt like I was a robot and I couldn't feel emotions. I found this video and it did help me a lot. Today, I can happily say I am 100% myself. My hazy short term memory problem was the last symptom to clear up. Please continue to remind yourself that your mind is tricking you to think you're still high, crazy, or robotic. This disorder unquestionably reversible and this video helped guide me towards sanity.
@ɑʀɑɓɛʆʆɑ I experienced that teleporting feeling too, and basically all other common symptoms. My dp was triggered by a really really bad experience with weed. The DP manual helped me a lot! Now feel so much better, from time to time I still get a bad day with more anxiety but I think it will eventually go away. Yours will too :) Best wishes.
@@champer423 thanks man for this comment feel like I’m going through the same thing as you went through and reading the comments looking at the others too makes me feel a lot calmer about my situation and I have a bit of clarity after being so far in the dark for 4 months 👍
I’m going through this right now and I’ve been trying to calm down I just want to be back to normal. I took an edible at 4 yesterday and I still feel weird today. It was my first day of school today and it was so hard going, I feel the same way you do and I’ve tried everything, eating pepper, running, cold shower, eating, drinking lots of water and nothing helps. I have school again tomorrow and I need this gone, any tips?
I got it from smoking weed, haven’t really had a traumatic experience on weed in a while but now everything seems unreal, so I’m going to give it a break for a while and see how I feel
ok so i just started having these feelings a lot more and when i get high i just feel more out of myself and my ego isnt there as much then i get anxiety about whether everything is real or fake then i can either have a panic attack or calm myself down till i get sober and actually have control over my thoughts so should i take a tolerence break from weed for a little?
Bling Dynasty ik what u mean but you should really try to stop 💀 its was pretty hard for me ngl everything felt unreal and kinda disconnected like a simulation but it slowly turns back to normal i promise!
Hi Shaun, I have been having derealization for a week due to a high amount of weed. Before I discovered your blog, I thought I was going crazy and thought there was no cure. There are people everywhere on the internet who say it can't be healed and that made me very sad. But thanks to your videos, your blog and various testimonials, I finally think I can get out of it. I feel I can get out of it no matter how long it takes! I'll come back here to let you know how it goes!
@@magicwonderland5558 oh okay thank you, obviously we don’t have the same bodies but i smoked weed for the third time on friday and it’s not sunday evening and i feel so horrible and stuck do you know how long it may take or any idea as to what i should do, because nothing is helping at all💀💀💀
Fr I saw a recommended video about dp and now I think I have it cuz I have a bit of depression so my brain is convincing me I do and now i think weed is causing it but I don’t have bad reactions with weed, only if I smoke a shit ton or take a high dose edible
I had a very tough 3 weeks. These videos saved me, I felt like i was living my life on a old video game and was convinced this is what life feels like as you age. I will be purchasing the manual! I still have these feelings but they have but severely reduced since watching. Thank you!
I’ve been experiencing dp almost everyday for over a year and haven’t ever found the words to describe it. Looking it up online made me believe i had developed psychosis. This video explained everything i’ve been feeling so perfectly, it is such a huge relief.
Harry mine happened in my dorm room. I think about it every time I get back in my room. But it helps actually. I know that my room is my haven and that it’s only in my head
Watching this video actually almost made me cry, I’ve had this for a month now and I always felt like I was going crazy but you talking about how it’s not dangerous and how it can’t hurt people really made me feel like wow there’s an actual way to get passed it, thank you for this video, really, I truly appreciate it ❤️
Hey, thanks for your comment and I'm really glad to hear the video was so helpful 😊 Don't worry -- the condition is 100% temporary, it can't hurt you and it won't turn into anything worse. You can and will recover! 😊 Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
@@stevepan9896 you definitely can after it doesnt mean weed isnt for you, but take it slow and not much because its basically caused because you smoked to much and freaked out (at least in the situation i was in)
So glad i found this video. I am trying to learn how to cope when dealing with DPDR. I recently had a bad trip and had a panic attack and the next day i had to go to work but the DP didn’t hit me until a few hours into work. I then thought i was going psycho and tried to distract myself. I tried to do research but it made me have anxiety from people saying it lasted for weeks, months & years. I am now trying to remind myself that this will just be a phase. I can overcome it. I am strong. This is what people do NOT tell you about smoking weed. I tell myself everyday since the last time I smoked that this is a lesson & not a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes but i am learning from mine. I will overcome this. I pray for everyone who is going through this that it will get better. Thanks so much.
Don't worry, problems with sleeping are very common with DP and they will pass as your recovery continues. www.dpmanual.com/articles/why-does-depersonalization-affect-sleep-and-dreams/ I also include a relaxation audio program with my book The Depersonalization Manual, which many people have told me is super helpful for falling asleep if you're suffering with DP :)
i had a really bad trip when i got high for the first time a few days ago and i still feel unreal. one thing that helped to comfort me though, was when i would look around and see that there were other people around me living their own individual lives too. it helped me to remember i was real and also comforted me that im not living in this world alone and millions of people experience this too. if you’re reading this i hope you get better and don’t stress too much it’s fine
Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 Don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of drug-induced DP to me. I know it can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and trauma. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you 😊 You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
Glad I saw this. I've had it for a while but ute always been tolerable but the past few weeks have been horrible. I kinda worried myself into a temporary mental burnout and it feels like I cant think. Feels like my brain is full of wet sand or something.
I can’t explain how much you changed my life in just these few minutes. I had an intense panic attack when I smoked weed over a year ago, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I’d dealt with depersonalization before that, but this event triggered it again for me. Ive been experiencing depersonalization since then, due to a bad relationship which lead to increased anxiety. Nonetheless, I’ve felt nothing but guilt and regret about the situation, and you made me feel like it was okay to forgive myself. You have no idea how much stress and anxiety you took away from me by saying “it’s not your fault.” Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I just needed to hear those words from someone else.
Thanks for your comment Chloe and I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful. And no, it's not your fault. 😊❤️ You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com/articles
I had this. I cried for hours everyday and I can tell you it’s very scary. You will come over it trust me. It may feel like you won’t but I can promise you with all my heart that you will come down eventually. How I got over it was after 3 months of having it I told myself I didn’t care anymore and it went away on its own after about 4 months. You are ok!
Dude, u saved my life! I am from a country where weed is forbidden and a couple of days ago me and my wife were in Amsterdam. We arrived there in the morning, took a small walk, visited some sx shops and had some snacks then we saw almost everyone walked around with a joint still so we thought it isn’t not a bad idea to share one REALLY light joint together so we visited a coffee shop and asked for the WEAKEST stuff. We smoked it right on one of the central streets in front of that coffee shop and I felt like I got to another universe which I hated. I was so afraid i thought I had schizophrenia which i thought was never gonna end. I was so afraid of hallucinations and time loops, I thought I should have committed some bad things to myself. I prayed to God to end that all to end but it seemed to never end. Then I thought I died and experienced hell forever. Thanks to God for my wife who didn’t feel much and wasn’t afraid of my inadequate actions, she took me to our hotel room and I we had a nap. After a nap I was still high but at least I was adequate. It has been five days since then of feeling these symptoms and I have been extremely afraid of them. But u really calmed me down and explained me what the heck it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, please, never do any drugs, have fun in some other way! Never doing this crap anymore either! Peace to everyone 💪🏻🔥🦝
I wish I could have watched this video when I had it, this was the scariest moment of my life I just constantly prayed and it got better within around 2 weeks
I’ve had this for about 2 months so far, and the immense progress i’ve made getting better is incredible. The sooner you accept you are okay and it is anxiety is the sooner you’ll get better. i’m not 100% recovered yet, i’m about 80% there. Keep doing things you would normally do , like play sports or play an instrument, and you will start to feel like yourself again. Understanding it’s not going to go away right now, and just accept it and keep living. It will start to fade, I promise. Don’t put this label on yourself. Do things you used to love, even if your feeling slightly empty, do the things you did love. You are totally okay and it will get better.
I’ve smoked weed a few times. Each time this was exactly how I felt. Like I was trapped in a nightmare. It always went away the next morning luckily. Never smoking weed again.
That's the right decision tim. I wish the author of this video would encourage quitting weed, its an evil substance but I guess that would put an end to his business so its better to focus on the illness and saying "it will be alright" rather than attacking the source.
@@runeskate Thanks for your comment Joe! 😊 So people develop DP and other anxiety condition from panic attacks and work stresses all the time, not just from drugs like weed or LSD. Also I think it's too easy to call any drug 'evil' while overlooking its many benefits, or the fact that many people enjoy it quite safely. But it is important to highlight its potential negative side effects; that is to say that just like any psychoactive drug, people react to it differently, and for some people it can trigger anxiety, panic attacks etc. Check out this article when you can: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/
@@jensmith1291 never tried but weed broke the deal for me as to experimenting, can't afford to mess my mind up any further, that one time was a real reality f@ck.
These kind of videos are life savers. Just hearing it isn’t permanent and others are going through it and you’re not damaged is life changing alone! I’m on month 4 and I’m 75% better.. I know I still have a ways to go, but I’m hopeful I will be better!
I’m 15 years old and one day I decided that for my first time it would be a good idea to try edibles. The edibles I took were 50mg each ( per gummy) and I had about 8, along with half a cookie which was roughly around 100-200mg. I consumed around 600mg of edibles for my first time and every since then I haven’t come down back to my normal self. I would always search things up and try to find answers on why I was having panic attacks non stop or the odd feelings of being not real or connected in my body. Im so glad I found this video. When I watched through it I ended up crying as the comfort it brought me knowing that I will be okay was honestly nice. It’s been over 3 months, I’ve consumed edibles on July first and it’s the 26 of October. Kind of crazy and weird to know that I’ve been feeling this way for that long. Still on a long journey for recovery and I’m putting trust that it’ll go away. It has taken over my life especially with the brain fog, the panic attacks, the intrusive thoughts, me being unable to talk to people etc.., but now I know I can recover and these helpful tips are what I needed to get started. Thank you
Hey Ashley, thanks for your comment. Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, don't worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DP to me. I know DP can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DP 👍
@@DpmanualHow are you now? Im on month 6 and still feel anxious sometimes but it is so much better compared to the firs few momths. Will it go away completely?
No problem! Delighted to help out and no, it's 100% not permanent :) You can find more info here: www.dpmanual.com/articles/is-depersonalization-permanent/
HEY IM BACK THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS I LITERALLY RECOVERED FROM IT AFTER 3 WEEKS, if you’re having dis you are safe just distract yourself and life must goes on don’t panic stay positive, fight it overcome it don’t let it take over you REMEMBER LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL THANKS LOVE Y’ALL 🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭🇵🇭
dude mine was triggered about 6 months ago and i literally though i was gonna be stuck like this forever but you helped me so much, i’ll have periods of time where i’m focused and i feel normal then i overthink stuff and feel unreal and all of that but now i know i can get over it
Hey, thanks for your comment and I'm so glad to hear the videos have been helpful 😊 I know DP can be scary but don't worry, it's not permanent and it can't hurt you! Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com/articles/
i’ve suffered from this two times now it’s honestly very terrifying but anyone who else is struggling just know you are very real and alive this feeling cannot hurt you you’re not going crazy trust me this sucks i’ve had derealization/depersonalization for years i am still working on it but trust me it will get better
I had been a daily smoker for about 3 years. I experienced immense anxiety out of no where when I smoked one day and it’s never been the same since. Even after the affects wore off, I still felt anxious and above all derealized for months. Life has been very different for me since, but I think I’m beginning to understand my condition more thanks to videos like this and am slowly getting better. Thanks so much for posting this man you are awesome!
@@kylescott169 Hey Kyle, I’ve been doing sooooo much better. Dare I say back to “normal”. The depersonalization/ derealization period is over, but thats not to say I still don’t experience uncomfortable levels of anxiety here and there. Overall tons better man. If you’re wondering, a little bit of yoga, meditation and therapy has gone a long way for me. My biggest take away from all this crazy stuff is that nothing is permanent and things do change just not always when you want them to.
@@efrainsandoval3883 it seems like it kind of helped you find new ways to be present with yourself too. Not to say the process was fun or anything. One question, do you feel comfortable to smoke now? Or would you never consider it again? Thanks so much for the reply
@@kylescott169 oh bro you have no idea. I think about smoking again almost every day(smoked my last dab maybe April). Especially the days I’m feeling pretty good for some reason . But there would be a string a days sometimes where I completely forget about it. And some days I really miss it, but it only takes remembering the few awful times to keep me away. In all, as of right now to be %100 with you, I would love to just go back to the days where I can smoke anytime I wanted and enjoy all the way, but life has been feeling pretty good lately and maybe I don’t need it anymore 🤷🏽♂️. Just trust how you feel I say and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t feel comfortable going back to it.
been dealing with this for a few months and it’s starting to get easier everyday with the right help. talking things out and hearing it isn’t harmful and it’s a real thing that many people go through really help. thank you
Hi everyone I am 3 months recovered from DP and I know it will feel like the worst thing in the world and it will make you depressed and anxious but trust me do not read into it it helped me so much more try to distract urself mine lasted luckily only 2 months but trust me it will go it will be much better but I think it was weird because it only started when I had three tokes I didn’t get high badly the week before though I got extremely too high so idk why that was but trust me you are real and it’s not as bad as you think and when u feel a spurt coming on just forget about it and know u r bigger than it then u will overcome it
Don’t worry mate am having it whilst writing this comment I watch this video when a feel it coz it makes me feel safe even just typing this am feeling it but it will get better mate don’t worry
I suffered with DP / DR for most of the year 2020 after bad marijuana trips. Today I am completely healed, it seems that all that has not even happened. Do not be afraid of DP, nor be in a hurry to get out of it. Try to distract yourself, calm down, forget about DP and allow time, and you can be sure that it will disappear completely!
@@Dpmanual I have been ignoring it or at least trying to for months. I think im doing the right thing though but is it possible that it hasnt gone away yet because I am still anxious all the time. I dont have weird thoughts anymore though which is good as I have sort of acknowledged them as just thoughts and they sort of faded so my thoughts arn't actually racing if that makes sense although I still get the physical sensations of anxeity in my chest etc. Could that be why dp hasnt gone yet because im still anxious even if im not adding to the anxiety?
I forgotten how many months this had gone on for me, I can't remember anything anymore, I feel like I'm walking around in a daze, and my anxiety is through the roof. I tried reaching out to some friends that smoked weed but non of them had the same experience I did which made it feel like it was my fault. By finally coming across this video I feel like I'll finally be able to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, thank you so much.
I’ve had depersonalization since November from getting high for the first time . It makes going to school so much worse than what it is . But summer is coming up & hopefully i won’t stress or obsess anymore about having depersonalization . Thank you for your help & i will try to be patient & not freak out .
Hey, thanks for your comment! Make sure you keep going to school, being social and active. That will help to keep your mind focused on positive, constructive thoughts. This will help the thoughts of DP to fade away and stop. Keep up the good work and enjoy your Summer! www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-recovery/
I got mine in the beginning of august just as school started and I’ve tried for months to not think of it and I’m so social but it just doesn’t go away it’s honestly brought me down so much! Like I feel so down all the time and sometimes question if I’m truly even real , I wish I was normal , I feel like I’ll never go back to being my normal self, but I hope it goes away over the summer
I got the exact same thing and I kept waiting to wake up or thought people were watching but what caused it was weed and boredom after life got really busy and picked up in 2020 it went away completely
Thank you literally so much. I had the worst trip of my life a couple of days ago. I felt like I wasn't real none of my life experiences have been real. And a got to the point where I was clawing the skin on my legs to make sure that I was actually alive. I think I'm scared sober this point. But this really helped me I haven't been feeling myself. I have felt like I'm going in-and-out of being myself and then being out of body. I also have been worried that I might develop schizophrenia or another mental illness as a result of this. This video and this comments section have helped me to calm down so much.
You're very welcome and I'm delighted to hear the video was so helpful! I know it can be frightening but remember that DP is just your body and brain's natural response to stress and trauma. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you 😊 You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
Guys. It will get better! I promised to myself that I would come back to this video when my DPDR is gone so here I am! I suffered from DPDR for about 8-9 months, because I mixed weed and alcohol. Now, it completely went away! It probably was the worst time of my life. Things didn't feel real, I had an incredibly bad memory, my emotions felt kinda numb, and my eyesight got so much worse. I lived alone when this happened so I was isolated with my own thoughts, which only made it worse, and which made my anxiety so much worse 4 months passed by, I couldn't stop doing research on DPDR, but everybody said the same thing: DISTRACT YOURSELF. I failed my university year because I wasnt able to focus, my memory was bad and I kinda felt dumb because of the DPDR. No matter how much I tried to explain to my parents, they just couldnt understand because they didnt know what I went through. After that, it was summer and I went back to live with my parents during the 2 month vacation. It immediatly felt amazing being with people you talk to everyday. Eventhough I was quite scared, I decided to get a summerjob at a hotel reception. At the beginning it was hard, most of all because of the DPDR. I wasnt able to smile often and i often repeated myself because of the poor memory. But after a week, I was so busy with the hotel work that there were times where I wouldn't think about my condition for like 4-5 hours. It was still there, but I managed to not think about it for the first time. Hours became days. I was so busy constantly that I didnt even have time to think about it. I stopped researching about the condition because for the first time, I actually felt progress! The more busy I was, the better it got for me. I actually started remembering aspects of the day much better, and I wasnt scared anymore. I went on vacation with friends and I was actually able to enjoy things again. (however I didnt drink any alcohol or smoked weed again during that time). After that my school year started again. Instead of living alone I decided to live with roommates. Best. Idea. Ever. I was constantly hanging out with them and without realizing, slowly but steadily, my DPDR disappeared. Im now able to work for uni again, I remember everything, I feel my emotions again, things felt real again. The recovery didn't come from 1 day to another. It was a slow and steady progress. However, I now feel better than ever. Good luck to you all who are going through this. Trust me, stay busy and its a matter of time before you get back to normal.
I really needed to read this! I'm going on month 6 of recovering after smoking two puffs of weed for the first time. Worst experience ever! DPDR, excruciating anxiety, panic attacks, you name it. Started feeling better and back to myself around month 4 but like you mentioned it just doesn't go away from 1 day to the next...it's a SLOW process. I'm much better and pretty much getting back to myself but still feel very weird at times. Hopefully I'm 100% normal soon.
@@MsJuiceBallIm in your situation. Can you help me? How are you now? I still feel like I do have anxiety and Dr sometimes most of my days are symptomfree now but will it go away completely?
@Bilbo Baggins Yeah weed gets me really healthy and on a good schedule. Stay away from the stuff that can actually fuck you up.like I domt know what's up with them.
@Bilbo Baggins They would rather pills like adderal or pure meth or xanax or opoids which strongly relate to heroin be legal. Instead of marijuana literally the opposite that makes a cigarette sound like the devil
It's not just the "high" feeling. I smoked for years and the only thing that could happen from smoking "to much" was getting tired. The anxious/panic feeling is so much more potent than being high in my personal experience.
Am I the only one that feels like I'm in a simulation and nothing is real?sometimes a coincidence would make me feel like it was done on purpose, and that there is someone whaching me trying to help me. Thankfully this video helped me and reassured me. I will get out of this and so will you.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been experiencing this for the last 3 months and I had no clue what was going on and I did indeed panic. I thought this was permanent damage. I couldn’t sleep at night because Everytime I closed my eyes I felt as if I weren’t alive or real and it slowly crept into when I was awake. But now I have come across this video it is already making me feel reassured and better.
So glad it was helpful Gracia 😊 And don't worry, DP can't hurt you and it's not permanent. You can and will recover! www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
Got this after taking fake Acid a while back, thought the entire next month after wasn't real and I constantly didn't know what was happening. Feel better now, wish I found this video back then
This video was so helpful and I too thought I was going crazy. So glad I found this video. I’ve been feeling like this for almost two weeks. It gets easier everyday but I still occasionally have that anxiety feeling. Hope everyone going through this can overcome it
Hey Sebastian, thanks for your comment and I'm very glad to hear the video was helpful 😊 I know DP can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com
i’ve been going through this for 2 weeks now but i promise it fades!! last week i was having anxiety attacks back to back and i couldn’t leave my room much but this week was a lot better, i’ve had hardly any anxiety. the thing that’s helping me is doing things that i did before i experienced dp. keeping urself busy and doing ur best to push the negative thoughts away is super helpful. play video games, talk to ur friends, go on a walk, just try to relax the best that u can. it still gets in the way of doing “normal” things sometimes but acknowledging the feeling, reminding urself that ur safe, and then pretending like it’s not there helps a lot. it truly can’t hurt u and it’s all temporary, even if ur brain tries convincing u that it’s forever. ur gonna be okay!!!
@@acid.9178 im doing a lot better! my dp lasted for like 5 months straight after my inital comment which sucked but that had to do with the fact that i kept hyperfocusing on it and dealing with a bunch of stressful situations. I hardly ever dissociate anymore and when I do it only lasts half an hr at most and only happens when I feel extremely anxious. My anxiety still gets the best of me some days but I'm soooooo much better than I was 8 months ago. Hope you're doing well and thank u for asking thats rlly kind of u! :)
Love you man! As a sufferer/survivor from DP & DR of 10 years as a 24 year old, you nail it when it comes to marijuana induced dp/dr. God bless you and God bless anyone who reads these threads/comments and that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'd smoked a little weed before but this time I was so stressed beforehand and I had a bad coughing spell after a deeeep puff. I spent 4 days feeling like I was in a dream. My senses were numbed and it scared the shit out of me!! I thought I actually broke my brain! Your video helped me calm down, and just focusing on things that distract you really helped. I played guitar (still felt weird), spent time just scrolling on my phone, watched TV, went to work, did crafts and eventually the feeling just dwindled away. I feel normal again!
Worst month of my life. But I'm 100% back to normal thanks to him and his DP manual which I had purchased. Thank you

You just gotta realize that depersonalization is self-inflicted even though it doesn't seem like it. You're constantly monitoring your own body and mind which puts you in a state of dissociation, especially when combined with fear. The cure is to just live your life, and you'll eventually forget about it and you will feel 100% normal again.
@@mohamedaminesaidani9716 for me it took about a month to a month and a half but what you have to realize is that it feeds off you thinking about it you just need to distract yourself and continue

To anyone struggling from DPDR induced by weed, trust me I’ve been there. Last year I took a super strong edible and freaked out when it actually kicked in, I felt like I was dead. The next morning I woke up still feeling high and basically traumatized from last night. It was like a never ending high day after day with constant anxiety attacks and DPDR. It took me 3 months but it could’ve been cured much faster if I listened to these 3 things. 1. It is just anxiety - don’t freak out it’s just anxiety from a bad experience, it may feel uncomfortable and unbearably but do not let it control you 2. Go with the flow - towards the end the way I beat dpdr was just accepting that it was gonna be there and not caring if it was there or not, it eventually faded and now I haven’t had dpdr in 2 months 3. Some consider DPDR form of enlightenment and just breathe through anxiety attacks, take advantage of the fact that you have a heightened sense of consciousness. I know some of you reading this will be like “3 months 🤯🤯🤯 it’s been one day” trust me just follow my advice and go with the flow, don’t stress about it and it will go away I promise, you will be ok
Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊
Thank you friend. Stressed that this might last longer, but interested to find out what the journey is!
I felt this on the enlightenment part that’s how I look at it kinda!
Man I’ve been living with this for almost 10 years and it’s still not going away.. trust me im trying
This is actually very interesting because I have a dissociative disorder and it is fairly simular to DPDR. I actually might have experienced weed induced DPDR a fair amount of times but its just your head fucking with yourself and you need to realise that. I myself dont give a shit if im here or not and thats very crucial because you only space out once you start thinking about it too much. the human mind is a box full mystery.
I recovered from DP, it took weeks for me to get back into reality. It was soo hard for me to sit in school with this! But i overcame it! Thanks to GOD.
Glad to hear you've recovered! 😊😊😊

Thanks Jeremy, glad to hear you're recovered! 😊
completly back for one day or more?
Hey dude. Do you think you could please respond to me? Im so glad that you eventually overcame depersonalization. Im going through this right now. I got mine from weed, I had a huge panic attack and the next day I woke up and I felt like I had gone to a different dimension like it doesnt feel like the real world. Ive started to have days where the anxious thoughts go away but the dp is always kind on in the background. I wanted to ask you since you are a guy and Im a guy too..........did you notice if m*****bating had any effect on dp or not? Not to get too personal but Ive just been doing it as if everything was normal but I havent actually noticed any difference after I m*****bate. Sometimes if I dont do it for a few days my dp gets better but it sometimes comes back even if I haven't m*****bated in a while. Do you think you could please tell me what your experience with this was? This is all totally serious by the way
Mr Filch I’m on it too we can talk if you want
How long did it take?

hold on darling it will be all okay ❤️
This happened to me for 10 months in my junior year of high school and those were some of the hardest times ever in my life.
To who ever is struggling with this, it’ll all eventually be okay. Meditate, vent to a close friend, get insanely obsessed with your passion or anything you love. Overtime it will ware off.
Much Love and healing to everyone.
Me in my junior year experiencing this since sophomore year
@@vegavega3068 my bad, mine started in sophomore and didn’t end until junior year. I have pretty tough ADHD and OCD so I dwelled a lot on my DR/DP. The way I got through it was when I met my girlfriend that time, it was something new in my life and something very different. It completely dragged me away from all my bad thoughts and put me in a happier place. I started to focus on goals I had and I eventually forgot about my problems I had in my head. Very thankful. I prayed a lot and it got better. You’ll be okay.

It goes away!
Here's my story.
So it was 12 am, I was 13. Me and my cousin went out and she convinced me to smoke weed. I said why not, she does it all the time so it wouldn't be so bad?
That day was the hardest thing to go though. Multiple panic attacks, the feeling of everything zooming in and out, I don't know, it felt as if I took LSD or something. Because it didn't feel like weed. It was hell. I had to deal with it for 2 years, constantly landing on my knees and praying to God that it would fucking go away. I had no hope, and thought I broke my brain. Everyday I had to cope with my panic attacks and overthinking.
This is where everything changed. I actually started to get more intelligent, smart and calmer. I learnt to control my panic attacks, because I've been through so much during the year. I grew stronger, and promise to never, NEVER fucking touch that shit again. I turned towards god and exercise, even meditate, things I never usually do. I study more and focus on my musical talents, and I'm more social. DPDR is a gate to hell and the most helpful medicine you could even have. Listen, it gets better.
It gets better.
I promise.
Same bro like literally bro it changed my life for a good and bad because now I got a job and my license so I know what u saying it made turned to god to man it’s the worst feeling I swear to god I tell you
Hey, someone please help me. I'm 15, I have ADHD and I smoked for the first time a couple months ago, and have done edibles a couple times in the past month. when I smoked I was so incredibly paranoid and had the worst trip ever (I did it in a park). so I had "an anxiety attack" at school like a week later, which I now think is dp/dr, as i'd never experienced anything like this before doing weed. so I took some edibles at home, hoping that I wouldn't be paranoid this time as I was safe at home, but I was still really paranoid. I had really bad cotton mouth.
now, almost every day I get these "anxiety attacks" where nothing feels real and I can't use my phone properly (it feels exactly how it was when I was high) and I start freaking out but I can't move, walk or talk properly, so I'll just sit in silence. I can always feel my tongue in my mouth and it feels really big and uncomfortable (like cotton mouth), its a horrible feeling and it never goes away now. I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless.
Is this dp/dr?

@@pulpcitrus4778 your lucky ive been suffering with this for 3 years almost, funny thing is i didnt get it from weed, i simply woke up one morning and had it really bad but went to bed the night before completely fine, its crazy cause its like my life literally changed overnight and to be honest i dont even know if its DP, i dont quiet know what im experiencing and its fucking with my head real bad, however the feeling does kinda get worse when i smoke weed id say sometimes it fades away by atleast 90% and it mostly effects my vision because everything for the last 3 years have looked really different.
@@AGN-dt2dj hey it's same with me...i am also suffering it from the last 3 years and i was sleeping i just felt someone pull my leg and started feeling that i am not in realtiy..my heart beats but i feel it's not beating..my brain becomes numb and body too..i was suffering from post partum psychosis..that was also very worst but DP is not going it's constant..can u help me out..
This video made my dp go away because I was scared it was permanent and I stressed because I had it. Now I know it is a naturally trauma mechanism, it calmed me down. Thanks

Thanks Shaun, you helped cure me a year ago. I owe you big time.
Delighted to hear it Garrett 😊
Howd u get cured?
The smell of weed being smoked gives me PTSD and instant DP. Now that it’s legal in Canada, I have no idea how to avoid it from occurring. It’s everywhere
Don't worry, that's just an associational fear and it will fade away and stop in time 😊 It''s not actually the weed that causes the condition, it's the trauma of a bad reaction to the weed. Read this article carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/
Rooks McCoy omg thats actually so scary i’m sorry. it’s illegal here in the states so i’m safe but shit i didn’t think about that. i hope the best for you:( 💕
a W a big help recently has been cutting caffeine out of my life entirely. It definitely caused a few weeks of constant headaches, but has helped cut down the episodes to far less
The magic is in taking the right strain and the associated fear will fade away. Find a cbd dominant strain but take it slow.

Struggled with this for about a year, most of which I didn’t even know the condition had a name. I was so scared and confused. no one understood what was happening to me and neither did I. I’m out of it now, but if you’re still swimming in it, engage in activities to ground you in reality. You can get through this! And pray. That helped me a lot.
Thanks for your comment Langston and I'm very happy to hear you're recovered! 😊
did you have existentional terrible fears? I constantly think about dying, about sense of things around me and it freaks me out so far. I'm afraid I can't recognize how being normal feels like. I almost have no hope because I haven't met anyone who'd told about fears like mine...
@@Максим-з1щ9о Don't worry, existential thoughts and fears like that are super common with DP and will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 Read this article carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
xvizdereq I didn’t have fear of dying but i struggled HEAVY with fear of never finding normal again. For me, existentialism was always something I was interested in, and I think the dp just made me more affected by it. To make that get better I cut existential media out of my diet completely. No more videos about it. As for finding normal, I think the guy in the video is right. The FEAR of not finding normal is ultimately the worst part of it. for me it was actually the whole thing. I still struggle with it sometimes, but as I work with a therapist I realize this is more of a reflection of my low self-esteem and my distrust in my ability to provide a life for myself that I will be satisfied with. My distrust that i can change and grow, even after bad things happen. That is the fundamental issue of long term dp (imo). 1. Cut existentialism out of your internet-diet COMPLETELY and 2. work on proving to yourself that you are capable of growth and change. For me that looked like going to therapy, giving myself a room makeover, exercising, being more attentive in my relationships, going to therapy (lmao).
xvizdereq getting a new job, things that will bring tangible, physical change into the 3D world so that you have a better grip on reality, not just living in your head all the time, and not in a virtual reality either. I’m a musician, so I got on a schedule releasing music once a week. If you have dp, you need structure to help you heal. Your mind needs to regain trust in the physical realm again, and it needs to believe you are a physical being in a tangible reality so that it can go back to functioning normally. And you can help provide that healing by intentionally reacquainting your brain with the 3rd dimension.
I had depersonalization and panic attacks for 6 months, I am once again normal, you will get through it!!! Start jogging and go for walk to open fields you will feel more real, the running will help the anxiety and panicky feeling making you recover faster! this was a humbling experience. I feel reborn and with purpose to achieve everything I coulsnt do while stuck suffering with dp
So glad to hear you've recovered! 😊

@@Rudeboii1k I understand, I swear to you I was there, being told by Psychs it was just general anxiety. One mentioned the word depersonalization and I googled it, perfect match. My main symptom was cloudiness and the out of it feeling, very weightless physically, constantly thinking of that cloudiness and wondering if I was feeling like "myself" but I was always so disconnected. Slowly but surely it went away and it seemed I would never not have that thought but you will get better I promise. No smoking or even drinking helped a giant amount as well as a job/hobby, keep your brain occupied. Gaming for hours even would be hours I wasn't thinking about it.

I wish this video existed in 2011 when I had this experience. I felt so alone, lost, hopeless, etc... and had nobody to relate to. My depersonalization lasted fully for about 3 years, but started to drift away. Almost 9 years later I still experience spurts of it, but it's honestly changed my life in a weirdly positive way and I have a better outlook on life. To anyone reading this who is deep in depersonalization right now, keep on keeping on! You aren't alone and your emotions are completely valid. It WILL go away. Don't give up. If you need someone to talk to, relate to, etc... please reach out!

This happened to me for over a year and it was terrible. But I was able to overcome it and am 100% back to normal. I distracted myself with college and got a 4.0 gpa for the first time in my life. I was even able to smoke weed again in small amounts, but the anxiety slowly started to return, so I cut it out completely and it was the best decision I ever made. I wish I had this video when I was experiencing DP, but had to figure this out all on my own. The tips in this video are great, be kind and patient with yourself and you will get through it! Now that it's all over, I even think it made me a stronger person, as crazy as that sounds. Weed can be helpful for many people, but this darker side of the drug needs to be talked about more. If you're experiencing DP, listen to this video and hang in there!
Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you've recovered! 😊
Reading these comments makes me feel so much better. I started going through DP and thought I was going crazy. Turns out im safe and sound. Keep going everyone! it gets better!
Yeah bro I thought I was going mad. I know the devil can desire to lie to people bro, and he was turning my mind against me. But it's ok, it's better now.
Long story kinda short: I had a horrendous weed edible experience two weeks ago. I was so high I couldn't control my thoughts, nothing made sense. I could trust nothing. I didn't even want to watch TV. It was like living a fever dream but I was awake. NO home remedy worked and I was convinced this hellish experience was permanent. I woke up high and disoriented. This persisted for 2 days, especially the disconnect with time - a 20 min car ride felt like a freakish 4 hours. It felt like I was a robot and I couldn't feel emotions. I found this video and it did help me a lot. Today, I can happily say I am 100% myself. My hazy short term memory problem was the last symptom to clear up. Please continue to remind yourself that your mind is tricking you to think you're still high, crazy, or robotic. This disorder unquestionably reversible and this video helped guide me towards sanity.
Thanks so much for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you're 100% back to normal! 😊

I have school again tomorrow and I need this gone, any tips?
First tip: stop smoking weed. Worked for me!
True, my symptoms are so much worse after smoking it
I got it from smoking weed, haven’t really had a traumatic experience on weed in a while but now everything seems unreal, so I’m going to give it a break for a while and see how I feel
ok so i just started having these feelings a lot more and when i get high i just feel more out of myself and my ego isnt there as much then i get anxiety about whether everything is real or fake then i can either have a panic attack or calm myself down till i get sober and actually have control over my thoughts so should i take a tolerence break from weed for a little?
When I get high I feel more sober than when I'm actually sober tf
Bling Dynasty ik what u mean but you should really try to stop 💀 its was pretty hard for me ngl everything felt unreal and kinda disconnected like a simulation but it slowly turns back to normal i promise!
Hi Shaun, I have been having derealization for a week due to a high amount of weed. Before I discovered your blog, I thought I was going crazy and thought there was no cure.

@@stevepan9896 you definitely can after it doesnt mean weed isnt for you, but take it slow and not much because its basically caused because you smoked to much and freaked out (at least in the situation i was in)
yes literally crying happy tears i’m not the only one. i was so fuckin scared i can’t even explain it.
So glad i found this video. I am trying to learn how to cope when dealing with DPDR. I recently had a bad trip and had a panic attack and the next day i had to go to work but the DP didn’t hit me until a few hours into work. I then thought i was going psycho and tried to distract myself. I tried to do research but it made me have anxiety from people saying it lasted for weeks, months & years. I am now trying to remind myself that this will just be a phase. I can overcome it. I am strong. This is what people do NOT tell you about smoking weed. I tell myself everyday since the last time I smoked that this is a lesson & not a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes but i am learning from mine. I will overcome this. I pray for everyone who is going through this that it will get better. Thanks so much.
So glad it was helpful 😊😊

I’d dealt with depersonalization before that, but this event triggered it again for me. Ive been experiencing depersonalization since then, due to a bad relationship which lead to increased anxiety. Nonetheless, I’ve felt nothing but guilt and regret about the situation, and you made me feel like it was okay to forgive myself. You have no idea how much stress and anxiety you took away from me by saying “it’s not your fault.” Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I just needed to hear those words from someone else.
Thanks for your comment Chloe and I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful. And no, it's not your fault. 😊❤️ You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com/articles
How do you feel now ??
I watch this like every time my dp flares up and it makes me feel so much better
Thanks Emma, glad to hear the video is helpful 😊
I had this. I cried for hours everyday and I can tell you it’s very scary. You will come over it trust me. It may feel like you won’t but I can promise you with all my heart that you will come down eventually. How I got over it was after 3 months of having it I told myself I didn’t care anymore and it went away on its own after about 4 months. You are ok!
Thanks for your comment and I'm glad to hear you're recovered! 😊😊
@de ever get better?
Use pregaballin
Dude, u saved my life! I am from a country where weed is forbidden and a couple of days ago me and my wife were in Amsterdam. We arrived there in the morning, took a small walk, visited some sx shops and had some snacks then we saw almost everyone walked around with a joint still so we thought it isn’t not a bad idea to share one REALLY light joint together so we visited a coffee shop and asked for the WEAKEST stuff. We smoked it right on one of the central streets in front of that coffee shop and I felt like I got to another universe which I hated. I was so afraid i thought I had schizophrenia which i thought was never gonna end. I was so afraid of hallucinations and time loops, I thought I should have committed some bad things to myself. I prayed to God to end that all to end but it seemed to never end. Then I thought I died and experienced hell forever. Thanks to God for my wife who didn’t feel much and wasn’t afraid of my inadequate actions, she took me to our hotel room and I we had a nap. After a nap I was still high but at least I was adequate. It has been five days since then of feeling these symptoms and I have been extremely afraid of them. But u really calmed me down and explained me what the heck it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, please, never do any drugs, have fun in some other way! Never doing this crap anymore either! Peace to everyone 💪🏻🔥🦝
Ha, that sounds a lot like my own experience in Amsterdam! 😊 I'm glad you're feeling better and that the video was useful 😊
I wish I could have watched this video when I had it, this was the scariest moment of my life I just constantly prayed and it got better within around 2 weeks
Thanks for your comment, and glad to hear you're feeling better 😊😊
I’ve had this for about 2 months so far, and the immense progress i’ve made getting better is incredible. The sooner you accept you are okay and it is anxiety is the sooner you’ll get better. i’m not 100% recovered yet, i’m about 80% there. Keep doing things you would normally do , like play sports or play an instrument, and you will start to feel like yourself again. Understanding it’s not going to go away right now, and just accept it and keep living. It will start to fade, I promise. Don’t put this label on yourself. Do things you used to love, even if your feeling slightly empty, do the things you did love. You are totally okay and it will get better.
Thanks bud, Thats exacly how I got through it
@@coopereglian8841 Great to hear. Scary stuff at just 15 for me. i’m glad i’m getting better though.
Thanks so much for your comment Patrick and I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better! 😊😊
Have you made a full recovery?
@@patrickcampbell815 What steps did you take to get rid of it and how long did it take to recover from it?
I’ve smoked weed a few times. Each time this was exactly how I felt. Like I was trapped in a nightmare. It always went away the next morning luckily. Never smoking weed again.
Whatever feels safest for you Tim! 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-weed-and-other-drugs/
That's the right decision tim. I wish the author of this video would encourage quitting weed, its an evil substance but I guess that would put an end to his business so its better to focus on the illness and saying "it will be alright" rather than attacking the source.
@@runeskate Thanks for your comment Joe! 😊 So people develop DP and other anxiety condition from panic attacks and work stresses all the time, not just from drugs like weed or LSD. Also I think it's too easy to call any drug 'evil' while overlooking its many benefits, or the fact that many people enjoy it quite safely. But it is important to highlight its potential negative side effects; that is to say that just like any psychoactive drug, people react to it differently, and for some people it can trigger anxiety, panic attacks etc. Check out this article when you can: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/
Joe Will cocaine is much more up my alley
@@jensmith1291 never tried but weed broke the deal for me as to experimenting, can't afford to mess my mind up any further, that one time was a real reality f@ck.
These kind of videos are life savers. Just hearing it isn’t permanent and others are going through it and you’re not damaged is life changing alone! I’m on month 4 and I’m 75% better.. I know I still have a ways to go, but I’m hopeful I will be better!
So glad the videos have been helpful Leticia! 🙏 Keep up the good work and enjoy your recovery 😊❤️

hey do you wanna talk about it and help each other i have it also
@@venders4274 hey how are you?
Same
@@venders4274 I’m 13 and going thru it😭
I’m 15 years old and one day I decided that for my first time it would be a good idea to try edibles. The edibles I took were 50mg each ( per gummy) and I had about 8, along with half a cookie which was roughly around 100-200mg. I consumed around 600mg of edibles for my first time and every since then I haven’t come down back to my normal self. I would always search things up and try to find answers on why I was having panic attacks non stop or the odd feelings of being not real or connected in my body. Im so glad I found this video. When I watched through it I ended up crying as the comfort it brought me knowing that I will be okay was honestly nice. It’s been over 3 months, I’ve consumed edibles on July first and it’s the 26 of October. Kind of crazy and weird to know that I’ve been feeling this way for that long. Still on a long journey for recovery and I’m putting trust that it’ll go away. It has taken over my life especially with the brain fog, the panic attacks, the intrusive thoughts, me being unable to talk to people etc.., but now I know I can recover and these helpful tips are what I needed to get started. Thank you
Hey Ashley, thanks for your comment. Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, don't worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DP to me. I know DP can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DP 👍
@@DpmanualHow are you now? Im on month 6 and still feel anxious sometimes but it is so much better compared to the firs few momths. Will it go away completely?
Thank you so much, I had no idea what was wrong with me and knowing what it is, and that it’s nothing permanent is extremely reassuring
No problem! Delighted to help out and no, it's 100% not permanent :) You can find more info here: www.dpmanual.com/articles/is-depersonalization-permanent/
HEY IM BACK THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS I LITERALLY RECOVERED FROM IT AFTER 3 WEEKS, if you’re having dis you are safe just distract yourself and life must goes on don’t panic stay positive, fight it overcome it don’t let it take over you REMEMBER LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL THANKS LOVE Y’ALL 🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭🇵🇭

god bless you ❤️
@@sunmeetsingh7844 love you bro
I had been a daily smoker for about 3 years. I experienced immense anxiety out of no where when I smoked one day and it’s never been the same since. Even after the affects wore off, I still felt anxious and above all derealized for months. Life has been very different for me since, but I think I’m beginning to understand my condition more thanks to videos like this and am slowly getting better. Thanks so much for posting this man you are awesome!
So glad to hear it Efrain! 😊
Hey any updates ?
@@kylescott169 Hey Kyle,
I’ve been doing sooooo much better. Dare I say back to “normal”. The depersonalization/ derealization period is over, but thats not to say I still don’t experience uncomfortable levels of anxiety here and there. Overall tons better man. If you’re wondering, a little bit of yoga, meditation and therapy has gone a long way for me. My biggest take away from all this crazy stuff is that nothing is permanent and things do change just not always when you want them to.
@@efrainsandoval3883 it seems like it kind of helped you find new ways to be present with yourself too. Not to say the process was fun or anything. One question, do you feel comfortable to smoke now? Or would you never consider it again? Thanks so much for the reply
@@kylescott169 oh bro you have no idea. I think about smoking again almost every day(smoked my last dab maybe April). Especially the days I’m feeling pretty good for some reason . But there would be a string a days sometimes where I completely forget about it. And some days I really miss it, but it only takes remembering the few awful times to keep me away. In all, as of right now to be %100 with you, I would love to just go back to the days where I can smoke anytime I wanted and enjoy all the way, but life has been feeling pretty good lately and maybe I don’t need it anymore 🤷🏽♂️. Just trust how you feel I say and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t feel comfortable going back to it.
been dealing with this for a few months and it’s starting to get easier everyday with the right help. talking things out and hearing it isn’t harmful and it’s a real thing that many people go through really help. thank you
Thanks for your comment Marisa and I'm very glad to hear you're making progress! 😊😊
Hi everyone I am 3 months recovered from DP and I know it will feel like the worst thing in the world and it will make you depressed and anxious but trust me do not read into it it helped me so much more try to distract urself mine lasted luckily only 2 months but trust me it will go it will be much better but I think it was weird because it only started when I had three tokes I didn’t get high badly the week before though I got extremely too high so idk why that was but trust me you are real and it’s not as bad as you think and when u feel a spurt coming on just forget about it and know u r bigger than it then u will overcome it

@@emmanuelmartin3908 No worries 😊😊
I suffered with DP / DR for most of the year 2020 after bad marijuana trips. Today I am completely healed, it seems that all that has not even happened. Do not be afraid of DP, nor be in a hurry to get out of it. Try to distract yourself, calm down, forget about DP and allow time, and you can be sure that it will disappear completely!
Glad to hear you're recovered Nicolas! 😊
How how this is do annoying
@@Dpmanual I have been ignoring it or at least trying to for months. I think im doing the right thing though but is it possible that it hasnt gone away yet because I am still anxious all the time. I dont have weird thoughts anymore though which is good as I have sort of acknowledged them as just thoughts and they sort of faded so my thoughts arn't actually racing if that makes sense although I still get the physical sensations of anxeity in my chest etc. Could that be why dp hasnt gone yet because im still anxious even if im not adding to the anxiety?

I forgotten how many months this had gone on for me, I can't remember anything anymore, I feel like I'm walking around in a daze, and my anxiety is through the roof. I tried reaching out to some friends that smoked weed but non of them had the same experience I did which made it feel like it was my fault. By finally coming across this video I feel like I'll finally be able to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, thank you so much.
Very glad the video was helpful 😊😊
this is so nice to hear, how are you doing now?
Update?
I’ve had depersonalization since November from getting high for the first time . It makes going to school so much worse than what it is . But summer is coming up & hopefully i won’t stress or obsess anymore about having depersonalization . Thank you for your help & i will try to be patient & not freak out .
Hey, thanks for your comment! Make sure you keep going to school, being social and active. That will help to keep your mind focused on positive, constructive thoughts. This will help the thoughts of DP to fade away and stop. Keep up the good work and enjoy your Summer! www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-recovery/
I got mine in the beginning of august just as school started and I’ve tried for months to not think of it and I’m so social but it just doesn’t go away it’s honestly brought me down so much! Like I feel so down all the time and sometimes question if I’m truly even real , I wish I was normal , I feel like I’ll never go back to being my normal self, but I hope it goes away over the summer

Glad to hear it Miranda! 😊👍
I got the exact same thing and I kept waiting to wake up or thought people were watching but what caused it was weed and boredom after life got really busy and picked up in 2020 it went away completely
Thank you literally so much. I had the worst trip of my life a couple of days ago. I felt like I wasn't real none of my life experiences have been real. And a got to the point where I was clawing the skin on my legs to make sure that I was actually alive. I think I'm scared sober this point. But this really helped me I haven't been feeling myself. I have felt like I'm going in-and-out of being myself and then being out of body. I also have been worried that I might develop schizophrenia or another mental illness as a result of this. This video and this comments section have helped me to calm down so much.
You're very welcome and I'm delighted to hear the video was so helpful! I know it can be frightening but remember that DP is just your body and brain's natural response to stress and trauma.

SAME!!!!! i’m on meds now bc it was that bad
Guys. It will get better! I promised to myself that I would come back to this video when my DPDR is gone so here I am!
I suffered from DPDR for about 8-9 months, because I mixed weed and alcohol. Now, it completely went away! It probably was the worst time of my life.
Things didn't feel real, I had an incredibly bad memory, my emotions felt kinda numb, and my eyesight got so much worse. I lived alone when this happened so I was isolated with my own thoughts, which only made it worse, and which made my anxiety so much worse
4 months passed by, I couldn't stop doing research on DPDR, but everybody said the same thing: DISTRACT YOURSELF. I failed my university year because I wasnt able to focus, my memory was bad and I kinda felt dumb because of the DPDR. No matter how much I tried to explain to my parents, they just couldnt understand because they didnt know what I went through.
After that, it was summer and I went back to live with my parents during the 2 month vacation. It immediatly felt amazing being with people you talk to everyday. Eventhough I was quite scared, I decided to get a summerjob at a hotel reception. At the beginning it was hard, most of all because of the DPDR. I wasnt able to smile often and i often repeated myself because of the poor memory. But after a week, I was so busy with the hotel work that there were times where I wouldn't think about my condition for like 4-5 hours. It was still there, but I managed to not think about it for the first time. Hours became days. I was so busy constantly that I didnt even have time to think about it.
I stopped researching about the condition because for the first time, I actually felt progress! The more busy I was, the better it got for me. I actually started remembering aspects of the day much better, and I wasnt scared anymore. I went on vacation with friends and I was actually able to enjoy things again. (however I didnt drink any alcohol or smoked weed again during that time). After that my school year started again. Instead of living alone I decided to live with roommates. Best. Idea. Ever. I was constantly hanging out with them and without realizing, slowly but steadily, my DPDR disappeared. Im now able to work for uni again, I remember everything, I feel my emotions again, things felt real again. The recovery didn't come from 1 day to another. It was a slow and steady progress. However, I now feel better than ever.
Good luck to you all who are going through this. Trust me, stay busy and its a matter of time before you get back to normal.
I really needed to read this! I'm going on month 6 of recovering after smoking two puffs of weed for the first time. Worst experience ever! DPDR, excruciating anxiety, panic attacks, you name it. Started feeling better and back to myself around month 4 but like you mentioned it just doesn't go away from 1 day to the next...it's a SLOW process. I'm much better and pretty much getting back to myself but still feel very weird at times. Hopefully I'm 100% normal soon.
Do you think of something then forget it after and your mainly just forgetful???
Is it normal for dpdr to dissapear and then come back?
thank you
@@MsJuiceBallIm in your situation. Can you help me? How are you now? I still feel like I do have anxiety and Dr sometimes most of my days are symptomfree now but will it go away completely?

How are you feeling now?

same same
I kept being told that this is just the “ high “ feeling. I can’t imagine anybody wanting to feel that terrifying feeling
I'm on 250 mg of thc edibles and I feel just fine.
@Bilbo Baggins Yeah weed gets me really healthy and on a good schedule. Stay away from the stuff that can actually fuck you up.like I domt know what's up with them.
@Bilbo Baggins They would rather pills like adderal or pure meth or xanax or opoids which strongly relate to heroin be legal. Instead of marijuana literally the opposite that makes a cigarette sound like the devil
It's not just the "high" feeling. I smoked for years and the only thing that could happen from smoking "to much" was getting tired. The anxious/panic feeling is so much more potent than being high in my personal experience.
Ah sorry i forgot to write that i can't smoke anymore.
Am I the only one that feels like I'm in a simulation and nothing is real?sometimes a coincidence would make me feel like it was done on purpose, and that there is someone whaching me trying to help me.
Thankfully this video helped me and reassured me. I will get out of this and so will you.

Thank you for this video
Hey Sebastian, thanks for your comment and I'm very glad to hear the video was helpful 😊 I know DP can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop.

i’ve been going through this for 2 weeks now but i promise it fades!! last week i was having anxiety attacks back to back and i couldn’t leave my room much but this week was a lot better, i’ve had hardly any anxiety. the thing that’s helping me is doing things that i did before i experienced dp. keeping urself busy and doing ur best to push the negative thoughts away is super helpful. play video games, talk to ur friends, go on a walk, just try to relax the best that u can. it still gets in the way of doing “normal” things sometimes but acknowledging the feeling, reminding urself that ur safe, and then pretending like it’s not there helps a lot. it truly can’t hurt u and it’s all temporary, even if ur brain tries convincing u that it’s forever. ur gonna be okay!!!
how are you?
@@acid.9178 im doing a lot better! my dp lasted for like 5 months straight after my inital comment which sucked but that had to do with the fact that i kept hyperfocusing on it and dealing with a bunch of stressful situations.
