As someone that suffered through dpdr I feel this is a very big factor in why people kill themselves. If I didn't find jordans channel and bought his course idk that I would be here anymore. My therapist didn't even have a clue of what I was talking about. I felt alone and scared out of my mind. I did not want to kill myself but I absolutely did NOT want to continue living with dpdr. And if I didn't find that hope I just might have ended my life. It is HORRIFIC!!!! ITS THE WORST THING SOMEONE CAN LIVE WITH!!!!!! I'm forever grateful for getting through and overcoming dpdr. My message to anyone going through this is PLEASE DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!! You will feel real again!!!!
u are so blessed for beating this. i’m only 14 and im scared out of my mind i won’t be able to recover. i really don’t wanna die but i’m so sick and tired of dealing with this and it’s only been a month. :(
@@sarah-jt8ts I promise you that this can be temporary. Don't think of it as something to beat but as something you're dealing for now. It's not forever. Just relax and let the feeling be there. It cannot hurt you!!!! You are ok!
Thank you for your post 💗 and in response to your comment about relaxing, sometimes I feel an intense fear about relaxing, and it triggers crazy flashbacks to trauma when I try to relax, did you experience huge resistance to being able to relax? Glad you’re doing better 💗
I’m going to kill myself. No one understands. How can people not realize how horrible this is and how come not even doctors know what this? This is why I’m killing myself. I’m mad at humans for not giving a fuck about something so debilitating. Let’s be honest, there is no cure, this is how it’s going to be for the rest of my life. And I don’t want to do it anymore.
Did anyone else think that they are already crazy, that they are actually just in a mental hospital with everything happening in their head? These thoughts are my worst nightmare.
Existential anxiety accompanied by DP/DR is by far the worst “experience” a human being can go through. Thank you Jordan for enlightening us on the scientific reasoning behind this symptom. The biggest help for me recovering was understanding what was actually happening. It’s an excruciatingly slow and gradual recovery process but looking back at the past few months, I am so thankful I’m not where I used to be!
I’m so tired of this feeling... I have to watch ur videos in the morning just be able to tell myself I’m not crazy... and remind myself it’s just a feeling. It’s so scary.
I’m living proof that it is not anxiety based just as you described. Prior to dp and dr I never experienced sever anxiety. Saying it’s anxiety based can add more stress to the situation. However I would say some methods for battling anxiety can help. Just know that if you are going through this you WILL get out of it. I had it bad for what seemed like an eternity (actually 2 years). All I have to say is it is a real eye opening experience and the perspective on life that you gain afterwards is like no other. It is a new appreciation for life, emotions, etc. that many others won’t understand.
Can I ask how you got out of it? I’ve had mine for about 2 years and I’m honestly just curious as to what you believe caused yours and how you got out of it?
I hope this brought some clarity! If you want my personal help in your recovery, join my inner circle. We do live streams, and group coaching sessions where I will show you how to fully overcome anxiety panic attacks and dpdr forever. 5shiftsmasterclass.coachjordanhardgrave.com/webinar-page
And Jordan, please tell me your opinion on this. You are teaching so many people about this and I feel like they really should know that its a part of spiritual awakening. It is, i have been researching this for 4 months now. Same triggers and same experiences. The difference is that people who are trying to have awakening on purpose dont freak out about this state and they keep moving on with meditation etc.
Yes! I start thinking “how does the body work” “how do we know right from wrong” “how are we alive” “how does air work” just crazy insane questions that’s scare me !!!!! I question everything when I feel depersonalization and derealization
Thank you: now I finally know what’s happening to me. I’ve been searching and searching trying to figure out what’s going on with me. I feel so detached and had a psychosis of sorts and now deal with absolute terror and detachment for the last year. I feel like I’m going absolutely INSANE. I have never been suicidal but this has made me want to die. I have two absolutely precious small children and they are MY LIFE. I have no reason to kill myself. But because of my trauma and now THIS disassociating of reality and panic attacks all day long, I’m dealing with I don’t know what to do to get better. I hear all the time I just have anxiety, and here’s a prescription. This is not.. It’s miserable. Thank you for finally making sense to my brain that isn’t making much sense at all anymore. 😖
Thank you so much! I went through multiple major traumas and prolonged stress over a period of years and was never able to fully recover between these events. I emerged a completely different person with repetitive thinking, overwhelming fear, insomnia and have ultimately gotten into a freeze state where I’ve become detached or disassociated from my body, relationships and environment. I was once the most vibrant, social, interactive and organized person and I’m distressed by my current state. I’ve been in therapy at different times over the course of my lifetime but never was DP/DR mentioned. Today is the first I’m hearing of this and it really resonates. Understanding this may be the first step on my path to recovery!!
I’ve suffered from GAD & Health Anxiety for 27+ years, the past 3 years I have severely struggled with DPDR 24/7 so I know first hand how uncomfortable it feels.. I’m at a stage where my symptoms are decreasing but mentally I’m struggling with brain fog, memory issues and even worrying that I have brain issues causing my dissociation, not being able to speak properly etc.. DPDR is real and is so scary to live with 🖤
Thank you for this video, I needed it. DPDR is a nightmare not many understand. I feel exponentially better about mine, and will be purchasing your online course as soon as I can afford it. Keep up the great work, thank you for all you do.
@@tribau7927 I cannot thank you enough for the extremely kind gesture, it means the world to me. I just need to get a few bills in order, and I will be good to go. Again, thank you for such a generous offer😃.
I'm so comforted after watching this video. I can't believe I'm not the only one who will literally smack myself because of how numb and out of body I feel. And the sandwich thing, oh my gawd I will stop eating because it'll trigger me, just like you said, your tounge gets numb and if I push on and keep eating, I'll fall into a DPDR anxiety. When I was younger I had health anxiety as well. I had anxiety at early ages because of bullying. And not to mention the way you explain how your reality alters, I had therapy and they told me it was anxiety and PTSD all combined, then I was told BPD was mixed all in it. I appreciate you being here and posting this video for everyone, it's just here for free and I'm so greatful.
@@coachjordanhardgrave Thanks Jordan for the session. For anyone that feels stuck in recovery or is not making any progress: reach out to Jordan for a coaching session!! I have his course and was making progress but i was stuck. After talking with him i realized that i misunderstood some things i was certain i knew. Jordan is very knowledgeable and i am sure that i now have all the tools to complete overcome this.
What you do is truly amazing and the way you describe and explain dpdr is just perfect. Everytime I get a question on the topic I refer them straight to you :) its the place to go for this man! 👌
Jordan when I found your channel almost a year ago I was lost I felt so different from my friends and family and I thought this would be the way my life was going to be. But I could relate to you and benefit from your knowledge. I currently don’t have dpdr anymore but still managing anxiety. I love you bro you’re amazing!
You can overcome anxiety as well! Would love to have you apply to my inner circle so we can help get you to 100% freedom and anxiety free! form.jotform.com/203543899115057
My friend can you please tell me what it feels like to be free from dp dr? What does it feel like to be recovered? DO you feel the same as you did before the whole thing started?
I’ve had anxiety for over 10 years. But until a year ago is when i first experienced DPDR, it is the most horrible experience I’ve ever had and I still experience it. I have my good days and bad days, but there is days where it is just overwhelming and awful. I believe recovery is possible to overcome this state of overwhelming stress and trauma, but it just sets you back and worse than before while recovering.
This is the best way I have heard this discussed. I had DP DR for a few hrs at a time several times after years of panic disorder and a death in the family triggered it. cannot imagine dealing with it consistently. By far the scariest experience of my life. I appreciate how you addressed that people may feel more anxious with it because it is not line any anxiety we have experienced before (because it’s not). I don’t have this anymore thank goodness. Great video. Subscribing.
I feel like God let me go through this to prepare me for what's to come. He knew I needed to go through this to prepare my nervous system for something I will have to go through in times to come
i’ve had dp/dr for a month now and i’m so terrified i won’t be able to recover. i don’t know the first thing about recovering and i keep having these existential thoughts about the world. i think this is the darkest place i’ve ever been in in my life, and i’m only 14 :(
You will recover soon , just believe it i was at your point just three months ago , it is rhe scariest experience any one can go through,keep proud of your self through your recovery journey, just listen to Jordans videos and keep strong
GREAT VIDEO, gonna pass this to my family. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to them. I went through a lot of traumatizing events and my brain checked out! 1 yr and half of these horrible sensations! And finally I’ve noticed that my brain is shutting off this mode. Once in a while it will hit me or especially at night but I feel like I’m starting to see the light. I totally understood when you said “ppl will connect this to anxiety” and you know how anxiety feels and you know it’s not just anxiety....but they don’t get it no matter how much you explain it. Thank you for not making me alone through this journey ❤️

from 5 years old to 35 years , over 30 years , i always want to feel good, normal and safe, my family always bully me( always in freeze mood), now i am way to recover
Thank you so much for this video. Anyone who says weed can't traumatize you is dense. Once you want to "exit" your high the fight/flight response kicks in. Well there is no way to fight the high, no amount of thinking or trying to feel normal again will work. The flight response in useless in that situation too because no matter where you go to in the physical world you will still be high. The freeze response is the only one left. As far as your nervous system knows the weed you just smoked is a tiger trying to kill you and no matter what you're not getting away from it and so DPDR ensues. Hope this explanation helps.
wow this explains so much. it’s been a month since i smoked and since then i haven’t felt the same. i literally just thought i was going mentally insane. i would do anything just to feel normal again.
Ive never had anxiety before dr. Then my dad passed away and I got dpdr. No other anxiety symptoms. I love this video when people try to compare their anxiety symptoms to my dpdr
It’s taken some time for me to try to figure this out and I think I am in denial that I am experiencing or have this mental disorder that is crippling my life. When just the thought that this could happen to me is overwhelming and making it worse. Sometimes it hits me like a freight train and I feel so panicked and dissociated that it’s the worst feeling ever just complete fear beyond belief. I’m my body eventually relaxes and I can begin to think straight again and it dissipates slowly... what a weird thing this is. It feels a lot like a response to a panic attack. It’s hard to describe. Your videos are helping me a lot. I really appreciate you doing this
This is so interesting :O During my recovery later on my dpdr became worse after i experienced a lot of stress and not necessarily after experiencing anxiety.
i always had anxiety my whole life and this had developed after watching my dad die and i just feel so cut off of the world and feel so stuck in a bad nightmare but i’ve had it for about 2 and a half weeks now but i can feel progress coming, this made me feel so suicidal but i know i can’t give up i know i can get over this. it’s slow progress but i know i will get better soon, this is such a scary feeling but i know if a lot of people can get through so can i:)!
@@sungod.nasty1 this happened to me too. In February I took a droplet of a tincture and had a major panic attack. I felt like I was dying and I still feel like I’m going to die everyday. it’s awful
I’ve been struggling with a blank mind a lot recently. I get so overwhelmed by the derealization and existential thoughts that my brain just goes blank sometimes, like it feels like I can’t process a thought and it’s really scary. I’m also constantly checking my memory because I’m scared I’m going to lose it
Being there, when my brain shuts off it felt like there was a randomness generator in my head, that only spat out random words, that seemed to logically flow. I saw the words come out, but i had no clue dafuck was going on. Was scary.
İ hope you read my commnt jordan, i will remember you for ever ,you served me the most precious gift in my life ,you made me gain my life back literally 💙 7 months ago before i know your channel i was dead ,i was in hell , i might have done suicide because of my dpdr ,that i didn't know of course it was just anxiety, since i knew your channel life became less painful, i watched your videos every day whatever i was doing i was watching your great videos, then i applied your advice every single advice made different, then i searched for another channels they all were great too , i am gaining my self back with much less anxiety, i am grateful for every second in my normal life , to all who are suffering you will get better i promise i didn't believe i would reach this level thanks god , i now know the taste of life again no more derealization no more depersonalisation i was fearful to the level i fear of looking at my self in the mirror beacuse i don't know my self , i know what you are passing through its hell ,i believe it is the hardest thing you will ever experience in life ,but you will come over it , thanks jordan 💚
I currently can't live alone bcz of dpdr and can't work, having some physical health probs too. I feel so sad and depressed cuz I dunno if I can ever live my normal life again.

I get the idea that the term anxiety can kind of be unhelpful. If anxiety is the fight or flight response than that means everyone technically has anxiety because it’s all a part of us.
Due to much trauma I have generalized anxiety disorder and when it's really kicking my ass, DPDR are very much strong and present. I've learned how to deal with it mostly now, but wheni first began seeing DPDR I thought I was tripping without the use of hallucinogens.

You can release only the tension you feel in specific areas, or you can do what's called "The Wet Noodle" and release all the tension at once. Then focus back on your day. This will help muscle tension from building up and causing you to enter sympathetic nervous system dominance. -Make sure to have a solid morning routine and read the book "Atomic Habits" for tips on forming habits. -Also do your best to avoid constantly researching your symptoms as this will make you feel overwhelmed. -Focus on living your life as normal while staying in tune with the felt sense and releasing muscle tension through your day.

Had a narcissistic sociopath of a dad and his mom and my grandmother was the same. Because of them I've let people abuse me all my life. And the catalist was my parents divorceing, my other grandma getting cancer and my uncle threatening to kill us if they divorced ( all this happened at the same time) wile me and my mom stayed at his house cause we had to. I was there when he strangled my mom and came after her with a knife. And then, I coped with years of weed, alcohol and toxic relationships. And guess what? I'm strong, kind, determined, and I absolutely love myself. It's been 4 years for me :) but I'm gonna hit the ground.
You WILL beat this! I’m so proud of you for staying strong! I would be happy to work with you in coaching to get you a game plan if you need the help email me at theanxietyninja@gmail.com. Stay strong and thanks for sharing!

Mine is 100% tied to my heightened times of anxiety. I only experience it when my panic attacks are more frequent. My doctor and therapist agree. I love your channel and takes but I think this is a bit of a dangerous take. Telling someone this DP state is anything other than a symptom of anxiety (which most all docs agree) can make them think they’ve actually gone crazy. Which in fact, escalates their DP and anxiety. Again - like your channel and I think you do so much good but i feel this is a not at all helpful video for those of us who suffer.
I think after re-watching this. Its just a vocabulary difference. Its severe anxiety yes but it stems from fight or flight which is in essence what anxiety is rooted in. I agree “just anxiety” in no way can describe the feeling. It’s horrific. But its a severe symptom of prolonged anxiety. I have also had anxiety for 22 years and talked to and researched MANY authors and docs. Prolonged anxiety has a new slew of symptoms. Your nervous system is essentially exhausted. Again - keep. up the GREAT WORK!

Is it normal to be experiencing emotional numbness as well with DPDR? I’ve always felt physically numb, but last year things really went downhill for me and I lost complete sense of emotions, I can’t feel happiness, anger, sadness, frustration, fear, nothing, I’ve been like this for 10 months and it’s tormenting, is it another symptom of DPDR, or is it something else? The only thing I’m able to feel is light anxiety in my gut and around my body, but I can’t mentally/psychologically “feel” the emotions, it’s like my brain is refusing to feel emotionally but my body still reacts to situations.
I had it from some out of body trip that didn't make sense, this was caused by a full non stop time loop, even my consciousness and awareness got stuck in repeat, those around me where saying the same thing over and over, everything physical repeated, a good loop forward and backwards, even when I remembered it happening before It would hurt and that would get over ran by it all over again, my spirit is the best way to describe it which was my consciousness broke it, and it was not easy, I forced my self out of that loop, I don't know how... but then a even worse thing happened while in spirit, which involved a very deep story, time here was frozen, I went to the sky in short, and some how after a very long time of being there and seeing some odd things I came back and was so convinced I was never going to be back in human life again, that earth was gone, my life was gone everything I knew, well that is far from the worse thing that I had figured out... but as I luckily got back into this amazing body, every since then to age 17 I was in shock, non stop DP and plus... randomly, I figured out how to stop it, I joined the army and never had it happen again, well minor times recently now that I try to dig it all back up and understand it, make sense of it. Never last longer than a few moments, it's normal to feel this too, if I drink to much or if something odd like my body reacts to laughing gas at the dentist my awareness goes super human and a depressing relaxing drug triggers something beyond what doctors or science claims to understand. I didn't know what it was when I had it bad, I was a teen, until recently I was also confused of it it was anxiety or panic attacks or something else, it did make me constantly paranoid that I might have a mental illness maybe like schizophrenia, but it's not. I found out by many people that I have Asperger's this is one reason that it's there, but mostly due to the traumatic event that I had when I was 13... I still don't know what this was... or how to explain it... to me it does mean something. I have figured out what value system is, I define everything in life that I know and learn cores of things all based on all of this. It might be good and bad together, but the good thing is this DP is programmable, and if we look at it closer we can figure out that understanding it helps us get closer to solving things like pain or how wounds operate. I have hints on these also, but I won't go into detail there, I should write a book about all this like you did... though Maybe when I am older. I have been prepping a meta physics book for the last 6 years, I wont release it or finish even till I have physical evidence to describe every bit of it, I am close, but I might rest on this till I am 50 or older, currently 32 near your age with interesting 12 years of experience in the harshest environment of the US army, though I haven't had a harsh DP attack since I was 17...
Ok so I’ve had anxiety all my life but when I got dpdr i started having muscle tension and shaking and uneasy shoulders I honestly don’t see anyone talk about this? Is this part of dp?

Sometimes people cut themselves due to being numb from being in a trauma response and it's a way for them to feel "something". Good to hear from you Lisa.
Is it normal to feel like its not me talking when i speak?? Or to look back on memories that happened even just yesterday and feel like it wasnt even me living them and wondering why i did the things i did because i dont feel like it was me? This is honestly hell. I have steuggled terribly with health anxiety for about a year and have been to therapy and i feel like i have beaten the health anxiety but now im left with this disconnect from myself and my memories/actions. Its terrifying.
Hi Jordan!! So, I find my DPDR & anxiety s so much worse when I’m sitting around at home because of lockdown. Do you know why this is?? When I’m at school and keeping myself busy, I barely feel the anxiety or DPDR. Distracting myself from the Anxiety helps a lot, but when I’m at home I find I worry about it more, and question find myself questioning reality more often.

I’ve been having dpdr ever since December 2020 and now it’s February 2021 and I’m still not recover yet. It’s so scary. I feel like I’m alone in my mind. I feel like my body is not my body and I’m soo out of it. Everytime I think about it, it triggers me and I get so scared. I kept on having a thought that I’m gonna die soon because of this. I’m just so scared.. I get panic attacks and I tried to do certain things to stop thinking about it but it’s not helping me. Then I go to sleep at night with anxiety which is so bad. I just want to feel normal again. 😔

I feel like this for Months now... I'm an HSP too so I dont know if that just makes everything worse... I hate these extreme existential thoughts because I used to believe in God and now i dont even know in what to believe in even though Im going to a bible school right now and want to grow in faith. I am so scared because I used to be so empathetic and enjoyed so many little things in life but now everything feels so useless? I lost my meaning of what to live for and the end goal because I cant believe in the afterlife or heaven etc. And I always feel so lonely because i dont see many christians suffer from severe DPDR or taking mental health seriously in church. Life seems so pointless rn and I dont want that anymore. I have a wonderful family and husband but feel so disconnected from them and it hurts so much. Maybe someone here feels the same.
I believe DPDR is something your consciousness goes through. Which is why scientists can’t speak on it correctly because science can’t prove consciousness through math. Trying to get advice from “professionals” about this is going to be hard
Hey Jordan I have been dealing with dpdr for over a year now and am 15 it went away ounce but came back a day later, do you have any tips on how to recover
Hi Jordan, I was just wondering how you can experience dpdr as well as anxiety at the same time? If they are produced by different parts of the autonomic nervous system are they both being triggered at once? Many thanks!!
It depends on which phase of trauma you are in. I lay all this out in my dpdr course at dprecovery.com. There is state 1 mild stress, state 2 high stress, state 3 moderate trauma, and state 4 severe trauma. In state 3 moderate trauma one may alternate between fight or flight symptoms and freeze symptoms such as dpdr, but if they become completely overwhelmed and enter state 4 severe trauma (complete numbness and dissociation), fight or flight symptoms shut off. But dpdr are always produced from the parasympathetic nervous system and are not produced by the sympathetic nervous system. So, in state three moderate trauma one is experiencing fight or flight symptoms (anxiety) AND DPDR, not DPDR FROM anxiety. That’s a very important distinction. 🤙🏻
@@coachjordanhardgrave thank you very much for that explanation. I take from that, that I am in state 3 as I have dpdr AND anxiety which fluctuate day on day to varying severity. The overwhelm point after years of health anxiety and deep rumination on a lot of issues was a panic attack I had 6 years ago when hungover which when the attack had ended dpdr immediately followed and has been with me since. Caffeine and high sugar foods make the anxiety and dpdr a lot worse so I have now quit both. I stopped drinking alcohol 4 years ago for the same reason. Exercise eases symptoms but not to a point where I ever feel like I did before the panic attack. I have overcome dpdr once before as a teenager when a bad weed experience set it all off but 9 months later I completely recovered after understanding how it was fuelled. This time round it seems insurmountable!
I ve been struggling with DPDR 5 years ago, i managed to succeed in my 4 first years in veterinary medecine school, but this year (2020) due to lockdowns the symptoms became so unfairly hard for me to the point i taught about suicide and that cost me my 5th year, now im pupil and neither the symptoms or lockdown stopped I don't know what i should do ,especially i got no second chance this time
Hi Jordan, I had a super traumatic experience with weed over a year ago and I attribute all of my DPDR to that. I have been so lost and I simply can’t afford your course. Do you have any tips for me?
Hey jordan I've recovered from it thanks to you. But it's just that my tongue is a bit dry please can you help me with it. My psychiatrist said its okay but i want to take that feeling off
But! Many of us at first have panic attacks. Then we also have panic attacks from dpdr feelings. So it’s possible that we get back from freeze to fight/flight and have this loop, right? Because if not then where panic attacks and anxiety went in feelings of dpdr? Because freeze feelings also gives panic. I’m bit confused.
Like in this situation while you were eating. I know what are you talking about. But doesn’t it gives sympathetic response at the same moment or some moments after?
Yes, I have this too. Lol. It’s pretty frightening when it happens. The only way to beat it is to not fall asleep on your back. Gotta sleep on your sides or stomach. Don’t fall asleep on a plane or car either. My first time was in the car as a kid. Woke up and could hear everybody talking in the car but couldn’t move my body. Terrifying.
@@andypaulin1766 yeah back does it for me, but not always the case. It can be pretty crazy, I have been getting it all my life and it use to terrify me. Now it’s just another Tuesday lol
Hey Jordan, I’ve been recently watching you and you help me feel like i’m not alone ((: I’ve had 3 anxiety attacks before DPDR kicked in, It’s good in a way because I haven’t gotten anxiety attacks, But it feels terrible because of existential thoughts repeating over and over, My biggest enemy here my vision, It just feels like i’m watching life through a glass, or in other words, things that I see aren’t “clear” it’s like my eyes can’t fully focus on anything ); does this go away ? 😪
Hey, I’m still battling with thoughts. I still feel dpdr, I feel like people are fake and they’re programmed to act a certain way that revolves around my life, vision blur still kinda there
I'm listening to your course right now and you always say, this symptoms are helpful if we get eaten by a tiger so it will be not as painful and we don't feel so bad but I just gave birth a few months ago and I think this was more painful than beeing eaten by a tiger and dpdr wasn't helpful at all 🤪😅 greetings from Austria. Love your course so far!
hey. Do you think that society can create dp? I mean fight response is getting angry I suppose.. the other option flight is to literally run away but no one really does that plus it is too socially shameful to do that most of the time.
Hi jordan, I think I need your help. I dont know have been dissociatiing for the past 2 weeks, or I'm just very paranoid that I am and become deep in thought. The traumatic event that I experienced was when I smoked weed last february. I thought I was going crazy. Please reply if you see this because I dont know what else to do.
i smoked during the first week of december and for a month now i’ve been having depersonalization :( i’m so so terrified but grounding techniques and talking to my family has helped me. wishing u a fast recovery💕
My dissociation Is killing me, everything feels like it’s not real, memory loss, sensory loss, numbness, and feeling of being outside my body etc. I abused cannabis and just starting to get off, and tried shrooms twice. I am afraid it has only made it worse. I feel like death is the only thing that can stop this.
What if dpdr is caused by temporal epilepsy not anxiety? Or both..? Sometimes in epilepsy there are no EEG changes and sometimes anxiety can determine EEG changes, so the diferential diagnoses can be very difficult.
If someone’s dpdr is caused by a medical or neurological issue than it would require a medical/neurological intervention. As a coach I can only help with non medical or neurological originated dpdr.
so im in a big confusion. i had a bad experience w lsd mixed with weed and after i kept having ocd thoughts that i messed myself up from it but i knew it was just my ocd, eventually got over that. then i smoked again and i thought i was gonna need to restart my progress so then that threw my in a deep hole of overthinking until my mom talked to a psychiatrist and said there is no permanent psycosis and i will be fine but then i watched a video of the universe and got a lot of existential thoughts and found out about dpdr, and now im overthinking that i have dpdr bc of these existential thoughts and keep thinking i have all these symptoms of it. do you think i have dpdr or that im overthinking and self diagnosing myself that i have it since it didnt initially start this way?

Jordan, I bought your programme and the progressive muscle relaxation techniques you outlined didn't really help unfortunately. I have tritchotellomania (linked with OCD), intense earworms, visual snow and other visual symptoms linked with hppd. I have problems with obsessively monitoring my breathing and my eyes (thinking about the way I blink) and the progressive muscle relaxation you espouse (every 5 minutes) made me worry more about my bodyily actions. Have you any other advice for people who suffer from dp/dr?
Hey, Conor. I hope you are well. I don't teach to do progressive muscle relaxation every 5 minutes. Progressive muscle relaxation is a powerful exercise to relax one's body and also build the felt sense, but it's good to do it only a few times a day, even once a day. What I do teach is to relax muscle tension for 1-3 seconds several times during your day to keep your parasympathetic nervous system online to prevent sympathetic nervous system dominance. Your focus should be on life, your goals, personal development (external), while occasionally shifting internal (felt sense awareness of body) and relaxing your tightened muscles for a few moments, then returning back external. If you were doing PMR every 5 minutes then that's why you were obsessive about your body. Self regulation should only take 1-3 seconds so thus there isn't time to obsess. Take care!
Monitor Your breathing sounds like anxiety .. I tell you because I had those same symptoms and the only way it went away is I saw a video from this guy I can attached the link if you like?? I first got it when I was 12 years old now I’m 25
Can depersonalization distort memories? Regarding my last comment on here about a shirt appearing on my bed when I turned around, I don’t remember putting it there, I only remember getting my trousers out of my closet. Is there any explanation? Please help. Im doubting everything right now. I seriously need help😭
I’m 6 years with DP/DR. I won’t sugar coat it...It’s absolutely horrible. I’ve tried all the supplements/vitamins..been to multiple doctors but honestly haven’t found any help. My visual symptoms are worse than ever. I can’t focus on anything. I went to the ENT and Neurologist last month. MRI/Catscan...no abnormalities. I’m struggling to find a way out of this😞
@Phillip Gonzales I use to for about a year. Some days it helped my symptoms, other days it made it worse. But DP/DR came from about 6 months of doctor prescribed benzodiazepines.
@@LilyStultz pretty bad. It’s been a rough season for me. Had to go back onto antidepressant for the time being but it’s made my symptoms a lot worse. I’m in a nasty wave right now as I’m typing this. Thanks for asking about me☺️
As someone that suffered through dpdr I feel this is a very big factor in why people kill themselves. If I didn't find jordans channel and bought his course idk that I would be here anymore. My therapist didn't even have a clue of what I was talking about. I felt alone and scared out of my mind. I did not want to kill myself but I absolutely did NOT want to continue living with dpdr. And if I didn't find that hope I just might have ended my life. It is HORRIFIC!!!! ITS THE WORST THING SOMEONE CAN LIVE WITH!!!!!! I'm forever grateful for getting through and overcoming dpdr. My message to anyone going through this is PLEASE DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!! You will feel real again!!!!
Made my night reading this!
u are so blessed for beating this. i’m only 14 and im scared out of my mind i won’t be able to recover. i really don’t wanna die but i’m so sick and tired of dealing with this and it’s only been a month. :(
@@sarah-jt8ts I promise you that this can be temporary. Don't think of it as something to beat but as something you're dealing for now. It's not forever. Just relax and let the feeling be there. It cannot hurt you!!!! You are ok!
Thank you for your post 💗 and in response to your comment about relaxing, sometimes I feel an intense fear about relaxing, and it triggers crazy flashbacks to trauma when I try to relax, did you experience huge resistance to being able to relax? Glad you’re doing better 💗
I’m going to kill myself. No one understands. How can people not realize how horrible this is and how come not even doctors know what this? This is why I’m killing myself. I’m mad at humans for not giving a fuck about something so debilitating. Let’s be honest, there is no cure, this is how it’s going to be for the rest of my life. And I don’t want to do it anymore.
Did anyone else think that they are already crazy, that they are actually just in a mental hospital with everything happening in their head? These thoughts are my worst nightmare.
omg i thought it was just me
Existential anxiety accompanied by DP/DR is by far the worst “experience” a human being can go through. Thank you Jordan for enlightening us on the scientific reasoning behind this symptom. The biggest help for me recovering was understanding what was actually happening. It’s an excruciatingly slow and gradual recovery process but looking back at the past few months, I am so thankful I’m not where I used to be!
I’m so tired of this feeling... I have to watch ur videos in the morning just be able to tell myself I’m not crazy... and remind myself it’s just a feeling. It’s so scary.
You’re not crazy or going crazy I promise and I hope you’re doing better now
Are you doing better now
@@zyro8283 oh yes I am!!!!
@@breannabowmar3184 so are you fully recovered?
@@zyro8283 95%
I’m living proof that it is not anxiety based just as you described. Prior to dp and dr I never experienced sever anxiety. Saying it’s anxiety based can add more stress to the situation. However I would say some methods for battling anxiety can help. Just know that if you are going through this you WILL get out of it. I had it bad for what seemed like an eternity (actually 2 years). All I have to say is it is a real eye opening experience and the perspective on life that you gain afterwards is like no other. It is a new appreciation for life, emotions, etc. that many others won’t understand.
Thanks for sharing
Can I ask how you got out of it? I’ve had mine for about 2 years and I’m honestly just curious as to what you believe caused yours and how you got out of it?

And Jordan, please tell me your opinion on this. You are teaching so many people about this and I feel like they really should know that its a part of spiritual awakening. It is, i have been researching this for 4 months now. Same triggers and same experiences. The difference is that people who are trying to have awakening on purpose dont freak out about this state and they keep moving on with meditation etc.
Yes! I start thinking “how does the body work” “how do we know right from wrong” “how are we alive” “how does air work” just crazy insane questions that’s scare me !!!!! I question everything when I feel depersonalization and derealization
Thank you: now I finally know what’s happening to me. I’ve been searching and searching trying to figure out what’s going on with me. I feel so detached and had a psychosis of sorts and now deal with absolute terror and detachment for the last year. I feel like I’m going absolutely INSANE. I have never been suicidal but this has made me want to die. I have two absolutely precious small children and they are MY LIFE. I have no reason to kill myself. But because of my trauma and now THIS disassociating of reality and panic attacks all day long, I’m dealing with I don’t know what to do to get better. I hear all the time I just have anxiety, and here’s a prescription. This is not.. It’s miserable. Thank you for finally making sense to my brain that isn’t making much sense at all anymore. 😖
Thank you so much! I went through multiple major traumas and prolonged stress over a period of years and was never able to fully recover between these events. I emerged a completely different person with repetitive thinking, overwhelming fear, insomnia and have ultimately gotten into a freeze state where I’ve become detached or disassociated from my body, relationships and environment. I was once the most vibrant, social, interactive and organized person and I’m distressed by my current state. I’ve been in therapy at different times over the course of my lifetime but never was DP/DR mentioned. Today is the first I’m hearing of this and it really resonates. Understanding this may be the first step on my path to recovery!!
I’ve suffered from GAD & Health Anxiety for 27+ years, the past 3 years I have severely struggled with DPDR 24/7 so I know first hand how uncomfortable it feels..
I’m at a stage where my symptoms are decreasing but mentally I’m struggling with brain fog, memory issues and even worrying that I have brain issues causing my dissociation, not being able to speak properly etc..
DPDR is real and is so scary to live with 🖤
2 videos in 1 day? 😍 My dpdr should be shaking righr now haha
Haha! I’m happy to do videos
yeah, getting better everyday. btw svk/cze?

@@tribau7927 - have you recovered?
@@vivi-uz7qq I’d say 90% back to normal and recovered :)
Great explanation and sound advice!It’s such a hard thing to explain to people who aren’t suffering from it.
Yes indeed! Thanks for commenting Brooke!
I'm so comforted after watching this video. I can't believe I'm not the only one who will literally smack myself because of how numb and out of body I feel. And the sandwich thing, oh my gawd I will stop eating because it'll trigger me, just like you said, your tounge gets numb and if I push on and keep eating, I'll fall into a DPDR anxiety. When I was younger I had health anxiety as well. I had anxiety at early ages because of bullying. And not to mention the way you explain how your reality alters, I had therapy and they told me it was anxiety and PTSD all combined, then I was told BPD was mixed all in it. I appreciate you being here and posting this video for everyone, it's just here for free and I'm so greatful.
Just booked a Seassion with you for Tuesday. So excited to finally resolve this issue !
See you then!
@@coachjordanhardgrave Thanks Jordan for the session. For anyone that feels stuck in recovery or is not making any progress: reach out to Jordan for a coaching session!! I have his course and was making progress but i was stuck. After talking with him i realized that i misunderstood some things i was certain i knew. Jordan is very knowledgeable and i am sure that i now have all the tools to complete overcome this.
How are you doing now?
@hiatus4757 How are you now brotha?
Better than ever guys! It was a process but worth it. I can honestly say that my life now is better than before DPDR
What you do is truly amazing and the way you describe and explain dpdr is just perfect. Everytime I get a question on the topic I refer them straight to you :) its the place to go for this man! 👌
Man thanks so much!
Jordan when I found your channel almost a year ago I was lost I felt so different from my friends and family and I thought this would be the way my life was going to be. But I could relate to you and benefit from your knowledge. I currently don’t have dpdr anymore but still managing anxiety. I love you bro you’re amazing!

how did you get rid of dpdr?
My friend can you please tell me what it feels like to be free from dp dr? What does it feel like to be recovered? DO you feel the same as you did before the whole thing started?
I’ve had anxiety for over 10 years. But until a year ago is when i first experienced DPDR, it is the most horrible experience I’ve ever had and I still experience it. I have my good days and bad days, but there is days where it is just overwhelming and awful. I believe recovery is possible to overcome this state of overwhelming stress and trauma, but it just sets you back and worse than before while recovering.
You got this! Join my inner circle and let’s help get you to 100%! Here’s the application. form.jotform.com/203543899115057
This is the best way I have heard this discussed. I had DP DR for a few hrs at a time several times after years of panic disorder and a death in the family triggered it. cannot imagine dealing with it consistently. By far the scariest experience of my life. I appreciate how you addressed that people may feel more anxious with it because it is not line any anxiety we have experienced before (because it’s not). I don’t have this anymore thank goodness. Great video. Subscribing.
So very excited to have you as a subscriber! Thanks for sharing this Heather
having dpdr can you have a beer or have some fun sometimes
@@danielpagcaliwagan1984 how are you today
I feel like God let me go through this to prepare me for what's to come. He knew I needed to go through this to prepare my nervous system for something I will have to go through in times to come
i’ve had dp/dr for a month now and i’m so terrified i won’t be able to recover. i don’t know the first thing about recovering and i keep having these existential thoughts about the world. i think this is the darkest place i’ve ever been in in my life, and i’m only 14 :(

Hi
thank you I just felt I’m not alone thank you guys for feeling like me I know it is bad but we are together at least☹️✔️
GREAT VIDEO, gonna pass this to my family. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to them. I went through a lot of traumatizing events and my brain checked out! 1 yr and half of these horrible sensations! And finally I’ve noticed that my brain is shutting off this mode. Once in a while it will hit me or especially at night but I feel like I’m starting to see the light. I totally understood when you said “ppl will connect this to anxiety” and you know how anxiety feels and you know it’s not just anxiety....but they don’t get it no matter how much you explain it. Thank you for not making me alone through this journey ❤️
What's up my friend!

from 5 years old to 35 years , over 30 years , i always want to feel good, normal and safe, my family always bully me( always in freeze mood), now i am way to recover
Thank you so much for this video. Anyone who says weed can't traumatize you is dense. Once you want to "exit" your high the fight/flight response kicks in. Well there is no way to fight the high, no amount of thinking or trying to feel normal again will work. The flight response in useless in that situation too because no matter where you go to in the physical world you will still be high. The freeze response is the only one left. As far as your nervous system knows the weed you just smoked is a tiger trying to kill you and no matter what you're not getting away from it and so DPDR ensues. Hope this explanation helps.
Thanks for sharing!
wow this explains so much. it’s been a month since i smoked and since then i haven’t felt the same. i literally just thought i was going mentally insane. i would do anything just to feel normal again.
@@sarah-jt8ts I know how you feel man. Happened to me after taking a strong antibiotic. Stay strong dude, you will get better.
Ive never had anxiety before dr. Then my dad passed away and I got dpdr. No other anxiety symptoms. I love this video when people try to compare their anxiety symptoms to my dpdr
I know it well. Makes the world seem so faded. Time seems twisted. I have it right now. Thanks much Lynn for the video.
Lucky you, ive had this for 6 years without any sense of reality ever.. and yes I always thought that explanation was inaccurat
Sorry to hear that. I would be happy to work with you so we can get you a game plan for 100% recovery. Email me at theanxietyninja@gmail.com.
@@coachjordanhardgrave Thank u, I have sent an email
How are you doing now ?
This is the video I needed after years of gaslighting
great video , thanks for sharing!
I feel so fucking alone and lost in my head im certain this is what I have
It’s okay bro I feel the same
It’s taken some time for me to try to figure this out and I think I am in denial that I am experiencing or have this mental disorder that is crippling my life. When just the thought that this could happen to me is overwhelming and making it worse. Sometimes it hits me like a freight train and I feel so panicked and dissociated that it’s the worst feeling ever just complete fear beyond belief. I’m my body eventually relaxes and I can begin to think straight again and it dissipates slowly... what a weird thing this is. It feels a lot like a response to a panic attack. It’s hard to describe. Your videos are helping me a lot. I really appreciate you doing this
How are you feeling now man
This is so interesting :O
During my recovery later on my dpdr became worse after i experienced a lot of stress and not necessarily after experiencing anxiety.
Stress/anxiety are man made terms. It’s the same thing, fight or flight response. :)
i always had anxiety my whole life and this had developed after watching my dad die and i just feel so cut off of the world and feel so stuck in a bad nightmare but i’ve had it for about 2 and a half weeks now but i can feel progress coming, this made me feel so suicidal but i know i can’t give up i know i can get over this. it’s slow progress but i know i will get better soon, this is such a scary feeling but i know if a lot of people can get through so can i:)!
My greatest fear involving this is that it’s not just anxiety and that there’s nothing I can do to get better
I’ve been dealing with this since the beginning of October of last year which was my first panic attack and I haven’t been the same since
Bruh you’re not alone I promise you. It happened after my first panic attack on weed. You are not alone dawg
Did any of you guys get ringing in the ears? It's called tinnitus
@@sungod.nasty1 this happened to me too. In February I took a droplet of a tincture and had a major panic attack. I felt like I was dying and I still feel like I’m going to die everyday. it’s awful
How are you doing now?
I like your video , thumbs up 👍
I’ve been struggling with a blank mind a lot recently. I get so overwhelmed by the derealization and existential thoughts that my brain just goes blank sometimes, like it feels like I can’t process a thought and it’s really scary. I’m also constantly checking my memory because I’m scared I’m going to lose it
It affects me like this sometimes also.
Being there, when my brain shuts off it felt like there was a randomness generator in my head, that only spat out random words, that seemed to logically flow. I saw the words come out, but i had no clue dafuck was going on. Was scary.
@@You-to-behow u get through it? I’m going through this rn
İ hope you read my commnt jordan, i will remember you for ever ,you served me the most precious gift in my life ,you made me gain my life back literally 💙
7 months ago before i know your channel i was dead ,i was in hell , i might have done suicide because of my dpdr ,that i didn't know of course it was just anxiety, since i knew your channel life became less painful, i watched your videos every day whatever i was doing i was watching your great videos, then i applied your advice every single advice made different, then i searched for another channels they all were great too , i am gaining my self back with much less anxiety, i am grateful for every second in my normal life , to all who are suffering you will get better i promise i didn't believe i would reach this level thanks god , i now know the taste of life again no more derealization no more depersonalisation i was fearful to the level i fear of looking at my self in the mirror beacuse i don't know my self , i know what you are passing through its hell ,i believe it is the hardest thing you will ever experience in life ,but you will come over it , thanks jordan 💚
I’m terrified that if I do recover I won’t be able to tell the difference and I’ll stay like this forever.
I just kinda go through my day trying to forget about it so I could get through my day but it’s just frustrating to deal with.
That’s what i do how are you feeling
I currently can't live alone bcz of dpdr and can't work, having some physical health probs too. I feel so sad and depressed cuz I dunno if I can ever live my normal life again.

I get the idea that the term anxiety can kind of be unhelpful. If anxiety is the fight or flight response than that means everyone technically has anxiety because it’s all a part of us.
i love how jordan cuts through all the bullshit
Due to much trauma I have generalized anxiety disorder and when it's really kicking my ass, DPDR are very much strong and present. I've learned how to deal with it mostly now, but wheni first began seeing DPDR I thought I was tripping without the use of hallucinogens.

This will help you get in tune with the felt sense, which is how you will start to feel muscle tension during your that is happening subconsciously.
-Frequently throughout your day, take 3-5 seconds to release the tension in your muscles. You can release only the tension you feel in specific areas, or you can do what's called "The Wet Noodle" and release all the tension at once. Then focus back on your day. This will help muscle tension from building up and causing you to enter sympathetic nervous system dominance.
-Make sure to have a solid morning routine and read the book "Atomic Habits" for tips on forming habits.
-Also do your best to avoid constantly researching your symptoms as this will make you feel overwhelmed.
-Focus on living your life as normal while staying in tune with the felt sense and releasing muscle tension through your day.

I hope this helped and have an amazing day my friend and I hope to see you in the inner circle!
I always say there is no way this is anxiety it feels like something much worse

Had a narcissistic sociopath of a dad and his mom and my grandmother was the same. Because of them I've let people abuse me all my life. And the catalist was my parents divorceing, my other grandma getting cancer and my uncle threatening to kill us if they divorced ( all this happened at the same time) wile me and my mom stayed at his house cause we had to. I was there when he strangled my mom and came after her with a knife.
And then, I coped with years of weed, alcohol and toxic relationships.
And guess what? I'm strong, kind, determined, and I absolutely love myself. It's been 4 years for me :) but I'm gonna hit the ground.
You WILL beat this! I’m so proud of you for staying strong! I would be happy to work with you in coaching to get you a game plan if you need the help email me at theanxietyninja@gmail.com. Stay strong and thanks for sharing!

Mine is 100% tied to my heightened times of anxiety. I only experience it when my panic attacks are more frequent. My doctor and therapist agree. I love your channel and takes but I think this is a bit of a dangerous take. Telling someone this DP state is anything other than a symptom of anxiety (which most all docs agree) can make them think they’ve actually gone crazy. Which in fact, escalates their DP and anxiety. Again - like your channel and I think you do so much good but i feel this is a not at all helpful video for those of us who suffer.
It actually triggered mine a bit today :(
I think after re-watching this. Its just a vocabulary difference. Its severe anxiety yes but it stems from fight or flight which is in essence what anxiety is rooted in. I agree “just anxiety” in no way can describe the feeling. It’s horrific. But its a severe symptom of prolonged anxiety. I have also had anxiety for 22 years and talked to and researched MANY authors and docs. Prolonged anxiety has a new slew of symptoms. Your nervous system is essentially exhausted. Again - keep. up the GREAT WORK!

Very helpful! The question is, how do you desensitize your parasympathetic nervous system?
It takes a lot of different things. For now I have my Dpdr program at dprecovery.com
Is it normal to be experiencing emotional numbness as well with DPDR? I’ve always felt physically numb, but last year things really went downhill for me and I lost complete sense of emotions, I can’t feel happiness, anger, sadness, frustration, fear, nothing, I’ve been like this for 10 months and it’s tormenting, is it another symptom of DPDR, or is it something else? The only thing I’m able to feel is light anxiety in my gut and around my body, but I can’t mentally/psychologically “feel” the emotions, it’s like my brain is refusing to feel emotionally but my body still reacts to situations.
I had it from some out of body trip that didn't make sense, this was caused by a full non stop time loop, even my consciousness and awareness got stuck in repeat, those around me where saying the same thing over and over, everything physical repeated, a good loop forward and backwards, even when I remembered it happening before It would hurt and that would get over ran by it all over again, my spirit is the best way to describe it which was my consciousness broke it, and it was not easy, I forced my self out of that loop, I don't know how... but then a even worse thing happened while in spirit, which involved a very deep story, time here was frozen, I went to the sky in short, and some how after a very long time of being there and seeing some odd things I came back and was so convinced I was never going to be back in human life again, that earth was gone, my life was gone everything I knew, well that is far from the worse thing that I had figured out... but as I luckily got back into this amazing body, every since then to age 17 I was in shock, non stop DP and plus... randomly, I figured out how to stop it, I joined the army and never had it happen again, well minor times recently now that I try to dig it all back up and understand it, make sense of it. Never last longer than a few moments, it's normal to feel this too, if I drink to much or if something odd like my body reacts to laughing gas at the dentist my awareness goes super human and a depressing relaxing drug triggers something beyond what doctors or science claims to understand. I didn't know what it was when I had it bad, I was a teen, until recently I was also confused of it it was anxiety or panic attacks or something else, it did make me constantly paranoid that I might have a mental illness maybe like schizophrenia, but it's not. I found out by many people that I have Asperger's this is one reason that it's there, but mostly due to the traumatic event that I had when I was 13... I still don't know what this was... or how to explain it... to me it does mean something. I have figured out what value system is, I define everything in life that I know and learn cores of things all based on all of this. It might be good and bad together, but the good thing is this DP is programmable, and if we look at it closer we can figure out that understanding it helps us get closer to solving things like pain or how wounds operate. I have hints on these also, but I won't go into detail there, I should write a book about all this like you did... though Maybe when I am older. I have been prepping a meta physics book for the last 6 years, I wont release it or finish even till I have physical evidence to describe every bit of it, I am close, but I might rest on this till I am 50 or older, currently 32 near your age with interesting 12 years of experience in the harshest environment of the US army, though I haven't had a harsh DP attack since I was 17...
Ok so I’ve had anxiety all my life but when I got dpdr i started having muscle tension and shaking and uneasy shoulders I honestly don’t see anyone talk about this? Is this part of dp?
Yes because your muscle tension/fatigue/fight or flight response had increased to the point of overwhelm and thus there were more severe symptoms
you’re not alone i go through this too

This is why people cut themselves I believe. 😢
Sometimes people cut themselves due to being numb from being in a trauma response and it's a way for them to feel "something". Good to hear from you Lisa.
Is it normal to feel like its not me talking when i speak?? Or to look back on memories that happened even just yesterday and feel like it wasnt even me living them and wondering why i did the things i did because i dont feel like it was me? This is honestly hell. I have steuggled terribly with health anxiety for about a year and have been to therapy and i feel like i have beaten the health anxiety but now im left with this disconnect from myself and my memories/actions. Its terrifying.
Hi Jordan!! So, I find my DPDR & anxiety s so much worse when I’m sitting around at home because of lockdown. Do you know why this is?? When I’m at school and keeping myself busy, I barely feel the anxiety or DPDR. Distracting myself from the Anxiety helps a lot, but when I’m at home I find I worry about it more, and question find myself questioning reality more often.
Set up a list of 6 things to do during your free time the night before that will help! Also do progressive muscle relaxation in the morning and at night
Me too. The lockdown in the UK makes it a lot harder
Ive had dpdr for 5 months now but id say im about 80% recovered thanks to this man however today my symptoms have been harder for some reason.why is that ?

I’ve been having dpdr ever since December 2020 and now it’s February 2021 and I’m still not recover yet. It’s so scary. I feel like I’m alone in my mind. I feel like my body is not my body and I’m soo out of it. Everytime I think about it, it triggers me and I get so scared. I kept on having a thought that I’m gonna die soon because of this. I’m just so scared.. I get panic attacks and I tried to do certain things to stop thinking about it but it’s not helping me. Then I go to sleep at night with anxiety which is so bad. I just want to feel normal again. 😔

Me too, do you have Facebook let’s talk
How are you doing now?
I feel like this for Months now... I'm an HSP too so I dont know if that just makes everything worse... I hate these extreme existential thoughts because I used to believe in God and now i dont even know in what to believe in even though Im going to a bible school right now and want to grow in faith. I am so scared because I used to be so empathetic and enjoyed so many little things in life but now everything feels so useless? I lost my meaning of what to live for and the end goal because I cant believe in the afterlife or heaven etc. And I always feel so lonely because i dont see many christians suffer from severe DPDR or taking mental health seriously in church. Life seems so pointless rn and I dont want that anymore. I have a wonderful family and husband but feel so disconnected from them and it hurts so much. Maybe someone here feels the same.
A fear of emotions / experiencing emotions? This could come from conditioning at home / society surely?
I believe DPDR is something your consciousness goes through. Which is why scientists can’t speak on it correctly because science can’t prove consciousness through math. Trying to get advice from “professionals” about this is going to be hard
Hey Jordan I have been dealing with dpdr for over a year now and am 15 it went away ounce but came back a day later, do you have any tips on how to recover
Hi Jordan, I was just wondering how you can experience dpdr as well as anxiety at the same time? If they are produced by different parts of the autonomic nervous system are they both being triggered at once? Many thanks!!
It depends on which phase of trauma you are in. I lay all this out in my dpdr course at dprecovery.com. There is state 1 mild stress, state 2 high stress, state 3 moderate trauma, and state 4 severe trauma. In state 3 moderate trauma one may alternate between fight or flight symptoms and freeze symptoms such as dpdr, but if they become completely overwhelmed and enter state 4 severe trauma (complete numbness and dissociation), fight or flight symptoms shut off. But dpdr are always produced from the parasympathetic nervous system and are not produced by the sympathetic nervous system. So, in state three moderate trauma one is experiencing fight or flight symptoms (anxiety) AND DPDR, not DPDR FROM anxiety. That’s a very important distinction. 🤙🏻
@@coachjordanhardgrave thank you very much for that explanation. I take from that, that I am in state 3 as I have dpdr AND anxiety which fluctuate day on day to varying severity. The overwhelm point after years of health anxiety and deep rumination on a lot of issues was a panic attack I had 6 years ago when hungover which when the attack had ended dpdr immediately followed and has been with me since. Caffeine and high sugar foods make the anxiety and dpdr a lot worse so I have now quit both. I stopped drinking alcohol 4 years ago for the same reason. Exercise eases symptoms but not to a point where I ever feel like I did before the panic attack. I have overcome dpdr once before as a teenager when a bad weed experience set it all off but 9 months later I completely recovered after understanding how it was fuelled.
This time round it seems insurmountable!
@@phillango4207how are you doing now?
I ve been struggling with DPDR 5 years ago, i managed to succeed in my 4 first years in veterinary medecine school, but this year (2020) due to lockdowns the symptoms became so unfairly hard for me to the point i taught about suicide and that cost me my 5th year, now im pupil and neither the symptoms or lockdown stopped
I don't know what i should do ,especially i got no second chance this time
Also can frustration be a factor on why you’re not recovering?
Hi Jordan, I had a super traumatic experience with weed over a year ago and I attribute all of my DPDR to that. I have been so lost and I simply can’t afford your course. Do you have any tips for me?
When you ask yourself how does the brain work is that a symptom of depersonalization or derelazation ???
ok but what if you got derealization from a bad encounter with alcohol? i know it’s a panic attack but could you educate me a little more ?
Hey jordan I've recovered from it thanks to you. But it's just that my tongue is a bit dry please can you help me with it. My psychiatrist said its okay but i want to take that feeling off
I don’t understand how to help myself if it’s not connected to anxiety like what do I even do ?
I think mine is coming back. Its 12am and I'm kinda freaking out
Hello Jordan,
Did you ever feel like you were going to die when experiencing dpdr? 🤔
Does dpdr affect our daily routine as I have problem doing my daily activities, my work and I have problem processing information
yup, it affects your ability to function day by day
But! Many of us at first have panic attacks. Then we also have panic attacks from dpdr feelings. So it’s possible that we get back from freeze to fight/flight and have this loop, right? Because if not then where panic attacks and anxiety went in feelings of dpdr? Because freeze feelings also gives panic. I’m bit confused.
Like in this situation while you were eating. I know what are you talking about. But doesn’t it gives sympathetic response at the same moment or some moments after?
Thank yoy
Does dp effect your vision if so will u make a video about it because I have dp and problems with my vision
Jordan is it normal to cry/laugh during DPDR? Because its kinda contradictory in itself, you are numb but you feel?
I heard you say that you need to change your physiological state..so if i exceecise daily will depersonalisation go a way
What do u think is the best cure for DP DR?
I been having these for like 2 weeks and it's the worst probably cause I'm only 15 but it's bad
Off topic but is kinda related to anxiety, but every had sleep paralysis?
Yes, I have this too. Lol. It’s pretty frightening when it happens. The only way to beat it is to not fall asleep on your back. Gotta sleep on your sides or stomach. Don’t fall asleep on a plane or car either. My first time was in the car as a kid. Woke up and could hear everybody talking in the car but couldn’t move my body. Terrifying.
@@andypaulin1766 yeah back does it for me, but not always the case. It can be pretty crazy, I have been getting it all my life and it use to terrify me. Now it’s just another Tuesday lol
Hey Jordan, I’ve been recently watching you and you help me feel like i’m not alone ((: I’ve had 3 anxiety attacks before DPDR kicked in, It’s good in a way because I haven’t gotten anxiety attacks, But it feels terrible because of existential thoughts repeating over and over, My biggest enemy here my vision, It just feels like i’m watching life through a glass, or in other words, things that I see aren’t “clear” it’s like my eyes can’t fully focus on anything ); does this go away ? 😪
How you feeling
Hey, I’m still battling with thoughts. I still feel dpdr, I feel like people are fake and they’re programmed to act a certain way that revolves around my life, vision blur still kinda there
@@iroyalty3726 wat about now u good
I'm listening to your course right now and you always say, this symptoms are helpful if we get eaten by a tiger so it will be not as painful and we don't feel so bad but I just gave birth a few months ago and I think this was more painful than beeing eaten by a tiger and dpdr wasn't helpful at all 🤪😅 greetings from Austria. Love your course so far!
hey. Do you think that society can create dp? I mean fight response is getting angry I suppose.. the other option flight is to literally run away but no one really does that plus it is too socially shameful to do that most of the time.
Hi jordan, I think I need your help. I dont know have been dissociatiing for the past 2 weeks, or I'm just very paranoid that I am and become deep in thought. The traumatic event that I experienced was when I smoked weed last february. I thought I was going crazy. Please reply if you see this because I dont know what else to do.
i smoked during the first week of december and for a month now i’ve been having depersonalization :( i’m so so terrified but grounding techniques and talking to my family has helped me. wishing u a fast recovery💕
@@sarah-jt8ts thank you, jordans videos have been helping me so much and I believe that Im getting better and will fully recover soon :)
How are you feeling now ?
Hello, i want to ask why does any kind of screens trigger my depersonalization? 🥴
My dissociation Is killing me, everything feels like it’s not real, memory loss, sensory loss, numbness, and feeling of being outside my body etc. I abused cannabis and just starting to get off, and tried shrooms twice. I am afraid it has only made it worse. I feel like death is the only thing that can stop this.
How you feel right now can change drastically in one year. Don’t give up
I feel so numb and hell robotic due to dp 😭
What if dpdr is caused by temporal epilepsy not anxiety? Or both..? Sometimes in epilepsy there are no EEG changes and sometimes anxiety can determine EEG changes, so the diferential diagnoses can be very difficult.
If someone’s dpdr is caused by a medical or neurological issue than it would require a medical/neurological intervention. As a coach I can only help with non medical or neurological originated dpdr.
@@coachjordanhardgrave But how can you tell the difference?
so im in a big confusion. i had a bad experience w lsd mixed with weed and after i kept having ocd thoughts that i messed myself up from it but i knew it was just my ocd, eventually got over that. then i smoked again and i thought i was gonna need to restart my progress so then that threw my in a deep hole of overthinking until my mom talked to a psychiatrist and said there is no permanent psycosis and i will be fine but then i watched a video of the universe and got a lot of existential thoughts and found out about dpdr, and now im overthinking that i have dpdr bc of these existential thoughts and keep thinking i have all these symptoms of it. do you think i have dpdr or that im overthinking and self diagnosing myself that i have it since it didnt initially start this way?

Here are a few tips for recovery:
Make sure to be doing progressive muscle relaxation in the morning and the evening. I have a video on my channel that walks you through it called "Befriend Your Body". This will help you get in tune with the felt sense, which is how you will start to feel muscle tension during your that is happening subconsciously.
-Frequently throughout your day, take 3-5 seconds to release the tension in your muscles. You can release only the tension you feel in specific areas, or you can do what's called "The Wet Noodle" and release all the tension at once. Then focus back on your day. This will help muscle tension from building up and causing you to enter sympathetic nervous system dominance.
-Make sure to have a solid morning routine and read the book "Atomic Habits" for tips on forming habits.
-Also do your best to avoid constantly researching your symptoms as this will make you feel overwhelmed.
-Focus on living your life as normal while staying in tune with the felt sense and releasing muscle tension through your day.
Those tips will help you get started.
I hope this helped and have an amazing day my friend and I hope to see you in the inner circle!
Can valium help temporarily?
Jordan, I bought your programme and the progressive muscle relaxation techniques you outlined didn't really help unfortunately. I have tritchotellomania (linked with OCD), intense earworms, visual snow and other visual symptoms linked with hppd.
I have problems with obsessively monitoring my breathing and my eyes (thinking about the way I blink) and the progressive muscle relaxation you espouse (every 5 minutes) made me worry more about my bodyily actions. Have you any other advice for people who suffer from dp/dr?
Hey, Conor. I hope you are well. I don't teach to do progressive muscle relaxation every 5 minutes. Progressive muscle relaxation is a powerful exercise to relax one's body and also build the felt sense, but it's good to do it only a few times a day, even once a day. What I do teach is to relax muscle tension for 1-3 seconds several times during your day to keep your parasympathetic nervous system online to prevent sympathetic nervous system dominance. Your focus should be on life, your goals, personal development (external), while occasionally shifting internal (felt sense awareness of body) and relaxing your tightened muscles for a few moments, then returning back external. If you were doing PMR every 5 minutes then that's why you were obsessive about your body. Self regulation should only take 1-3 seconds so thus there isn't time to obsess. Take care!
Monitor
Your breathing sounds like anxiety .. I tell you because I had those same symptoms and the only way it went away is I saw a video from this guy I can attached the link if you like?? I first got it when I was 12 years old now I’m 25
Can depersonalization distort memories? Regarding my last comment on here about a shirt appearing on my bed when I turned around, I don’t remember putting it there, I only remember getting my trousers out of my closet. Is there any explanation? Please help. Im doubting everything right now. I seriously need help😭
After dpr the anxiety is over or the last part ?
I’m 6 years with DP/DR. I won’t sugar coat it...It’s absolutely horrible. I’ve tried all the supplements/vitamins..been to multiple doctors but honestly haven’t found any help. My visual symptoms are worse than ever. I can’t focus on anything. I went to the ENT and Neurologist last month. MRI/Catscan...no abnormalities. I’m struggling to find a way out of this😞
@Phillip Gonzales I use to for about a year. Some days it helped my symptoms, other days it made it worse. But DP/DR came from about 6 months of doctor prescribed benzodiazepines.
@Phillip Gonzales I feel like I’ve heard that Shrooms could helpful but I’ve always been skeptical that it could make things worse.
How are you doing now?
@@LilyStultz pretty bad. It’s been a rough season for me. Had to go back onto antidepressant for the time being but it’s made my symptoms a lot worse. I’m in a nasty wave right now as I’m typing this. Thanks for asking about me☺️
@@andypaulin1766 what age did it start ? What have you tried to help it ?
