Hi Ry, Seems to me like you do know what to do for yourself, your a wise young man with so much beauty to come in your life. I can understand your thought process, trust me!! I began healing myself in nature alone !! A simple morning is all one needs when passing, it could boost your confidence wand interactions with people. It kept bad thoughts and past history at bay and overtime became my heaven, the colours, sounds, textures.. I’m now a photographer working everyday day in the beautiful countryside. DONT give up!!! Find your sanctuary but with positive energy, then things will fall in place. Take care mate.
Hang in there, I struggle with you friend. Keep going for me and others in this battle. Are you part of any DPDR groups online? You can make friends that way too. Having someone going through this with you as a friend can help too. My goal is to hang with some of the friends I made in person. 🌹
I will always keep going, your kind words help motivate me so thank you :) I used to spend a lot of time sharing my story/speaking to others in the dpdr subreddit on Reddit. Nowadays I tend to avoid groups because the constant stream of relatable stories which I found triggering at times due to the constant reminders etc. Talking about it here on TH-cam and making videos helps me so much 💙
@@rhysmentalhealth2521 For sure, there are positive groups on there and on Facebook. But keep doing you and staying strong. Had to fight off a lot of suicidal thoughts this week so I def know your struggle. Again we’re in this together 🌹
I feel for you brother it’s been a year since I started experiencing DPDR full blown and I will say that even though it seems like it’ll never go away it does get better with time. Be willing and brave to confront this…it’s scary af 😢I totally feel your pain and hopelessness but you’re stronger than you think! You can do it! A year from today you’ll look back and realize how much more progress you’ve made. Your an inspiration for myself and I’m sure other for your courage and strength to share your story. Keep ya head up! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yeah I’ve noticed it does gradually get easier to deal with. I’m 3 years in 24/7 so sometimes it all gets on top of me due to triggers in my living environment etc. Keep your head up too, I appreciate the positive vibes 💙
Hang in there bro, I promise it will get better, I know that it seems it won't and this will last forever, but it wont, I've been through hell myself, I still go through it sometimes, but every time I get stronger and its a little bit easier, I m convinced that is the case for you aswell, even if you don't realise it. Please hang in there, you are not alone and you are much more stronger than you realise!!
Maybe you could try like trekking and camping , that kind of stuff. That way you could still enjoy your own company and also experience the outdoors. It’s a healthy endeavour and definitely great for mental health. It’s kind of like doing something and not at the same time. Definitely helped me. Worth a shot.👍🤞 Out there on your own you could maybe find yourself.
@@rhysmentalhealth2521 Finding a nice secluded area thats beautiful and quiet with only the sounds of nature and fresh air. Better than any medication they could throw at you. Stay strong buddy and you will one day find your happy place.👍 And just a quick question regarding your eating. Do you or can you eat nuts. As in all types hazelnut , walnuts pistachios. Sorry seems like a weird and pointless question but there is a reason for asking it.
As for career maybe try looking for a job opening for remote work where you can work from home maybe live chat I don’t know your history just a suggestion
Hey do you feel lik3 there is still hope having your life back after 3 years? for me its 16 months of just pur3 Hell everything is pretty much lost . you still have hope? can things get better ? Do you see a way out?
I feel like it might still be possible to get my life back, if the dpdr goes away I might even appreciate life more than I did before this hell. I still have a little bit of hope. I’m not sure how it’ll go away but there’s always a chance. The longer the dpdr has went on the more I’ve accepted it, I’m less of a mess three years in than I was 2 years in. Stay strong friend, hopefully one day we’ll be free from this nightmare 💙
My testosterone was checked a while back and I was told it was normal although couldn’t get hold of any figures. I’m getting another test done soon and this time I’ll be able to see the results.
Obviously, I have no knowledge of whether the psychologist is the right match for you but generally, after speaking to a psychologist one's mood is lifted if only for a a short while. If you feel more dejected after speaking to one I rather think that person my not be on the same wavelength as are you. Depression affects introverts by taking the joy out of the activities that they like, making videos, reading, movies, artistic endeavours etc., so they are not even able to get joy from those activities, so I don't know that interaction with others is the best gauge of mental health for introverts. Having said that, since social interaction is good to some degree I think planning some is healthy. If once every two weeks or once a month you plan to meet someone to go to an art gallery or a movie or a walk, I think it sort of keeps you in the loop so the isolation doesn't consume you. And if staying out of bed for a certain number of hours per day is your goal, so be it, it's a goal you are able to manage right now. We can't judge our progress by what we think is 'normal' because that just adds unnecessary pressure.
I always appreciate your comments because I can’t help but agree with everything you say, it’s all true :) Most of the time I get a boost after speaking to my psychologist but on the occasions where we discuss dpdr, I’m left feeling frustrated. I need to try going for a drive or something with my best friend as it’s been a while since I last seen him. Thank you for always providing me with a helpful perspective 💙

Cheers mate, this gives me hope! Nature is so beautifully powerful. All the best :)
People like you make me feel I’m not alone in this Journey. Thanks for sharing, keep your head up. I’m trying meditation
I’m glad the videos are helping people, I appreciate the positive words. I hope the meditation helps you :)

I definitely enjoy walking and being outside. I’m looking forward to summer when I can sit outside more.

Have you had your hormones checked? This could be a huge factor. Although you’re young, it’s definitely worth a try!

You need to pick up a Quran and get rid of that hopelessness
Religion isn’t my thing. I’m glad it’s helping you though if that’s the case :)
Religion is just a cope, it never solves problems.
