Okay, hi! I am Zoe, and I am fourteen years old, and almost a month ago I had a "strange" experience. Before this experience, I had smoked pot before, only 5 times maximum. A common symptom of the pot for me was feeling like everything was dreamy, and the first time I experienced this, I took a...

I have been dealing with dp/anxiety/depression for years and years.I'd have to say all 3 of those are bad and its tough to even function normal right now.I have had some progress with 5-htp and l-tyrosine but had to stop the l-tyrosine because i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and i read it...

I can't even remember the first time I had a symptom of dp/anxiety since I feel I've had it all my life. Throughout the years my symptoms have been up and down, mainly 'up'. I can remember back to my years in junior high and having these out of body weird feelings. My primary doctor diagnosed me...

Hello there guys, this is Elliot, I am kind of new to the forums, already made some friends from the chat room. Now, I have been dealing with DP.DR for perhaps a little over a month now. I feel it's important to explain to you guys how I feel, my theories, and what is actually curing me. I...

I know that in order to get better we have to let go and not think as much, but I love thinking. But thinking scares me. But I love it. What do I do?

The obvious question is, how did this happen? How am I sitting here, feeling so back to normal that it seems like I've always felt this way, when this morning I thought I was on the verge of total relapse. I'll give it a while longer before making it official, but it certainly feels... normal...

How am I supposed to take baby steps (like, walk around the block and try not to freak out) when I have all these responsibilities like school and a job? I mean, yeah, it's not much, but it's overwhelming for me. I have trouble leaving my room to go to the bathroom, let alone go to school and...

Anyone else here freaked out by sleeping? It's like, I finally feel better and then I have to start all over again. Every single day. Also, sleeping itself is really weird, you know? Anyone feel the same? How do you motivate yourself every morning?

I just feel so alone, even in a large group of people. Especially with loved ones. How do you feel less alone? I feel like shit even when I'm not panicking because of this.

Im so confused i don't even know what to think anymore. i have wrote in as much detail as possible what I've experienced over the past 2 years and i hope someone who has experienced something similar to me can help me by giving me some advice. thank you. Im writing this in the early hours of...

So, I see a lot of post that tell us to stay away from things like the new, depressing TV shows, horror movies, etc. I find this very difficult because I love things like that. I love watching the Walking Dead and the news, I like reading about serial killers. None of these things give me...

How long should I wait before I take a lorazepam to calm myself down because of a panic attack? Should I take it as soon as I feel anxious, or just when I feel like I can't stand it any longer? I don't wanna build up a resistance, but I also am incapable of calming down and staying calm a lot.

When I'm on the computer is about the only time I can relax. When I'm not on the computer I can't stop focusing on myself and how weird it is to see/move/exist, and I get scared. Anybody else feel this way? How do you stop relying on the computer so much?

This is not something new or even all that interesting. I'd just like share what has helped me and reiterate what many others have said before. I'm doing so because it's obvious it works. It's what has worked for me. I'm not 100% better, there's still something a little "off" about how I...

I suppose I should write a bit about how this shit started and where I am now with it. I don't quite remember if it was the beginning of this year or the end of last year, but my first exposure to an altered state of perception was when I did weed. It wasn't the first time I had done it (but it...

Hey guys, I haven't posted here in a while because I thought I was better, but unfortunately, I believe I've relapsed. These past couple of months have been utter hell. Anywhere from too much focus on my existence to feeling like I don't exist at all. I'm truly exhausted. I just want to end it...

Hi guys, So I suffer from agoraphobia pretty badly. I'm scared of leaving the house alone for fear of being attacked and for fear of getting so conscious of myself with DP that I suddenly have no safe zone to run to when/if I can't cope. I'm also unemployed, and staying at home day in, day out...

Just a quick question that I am curious about. I am usually always feeling out of it/brain fog which can range from mild to severe. However, I have short-ish episodes of extreme jamais-vu (things feeling very unfamiliar even though you know you have been there/seen that person before). It gets...

I've had DP/DR for over 3 years now (triggered by use of marijuana). The marijuana also triggered anxiety. Anxiety, at first surrounding specific things, like thinking about what happened when I smoked the marijuana (trance like panic attack), worrying about friends talking about it, sometimes...

What do you do to deal with Dp in the moment of it happening? Sometimes when I am stricken with an episode I try to self-talk my way out of the situation i.e life is real, my body is my body, etc... But I found last night something that helped me enormously was thinking of everything but myself...
