Hi! I'm new here and already feeling so grateful knowing I'm not alone in this journey. So, I'm relatively new being in a relationship with my boyfriend. When we first started dating he was all fine, but then only on the second month or so that his depersonalization started to affect him. He...

Hello, My DPDR started like 6 years ago, I had a lot of panic attacks/anxiety. I was also very obsessed with getting better. And it made it more difficult to recover at that time. I've not been paying so much attention to it anymore like I used to do. Also I do not have any panic attacks...

Hello! This is Khulan from Mongolia. I'm 20 years old. I started getting short episodes or moments of depersonalization [for about 5 seconds every time] since I was in elementary school. I would get confused and ask other people if they felt what I felt, too. Since I was a child, people didn't...

I recently came across Hyperleap, which gives access to a lot of neurological information. It speaks to the majority of issues of concern to me. Either this information wasn't known 10 years ago, or it wasn't available on the web. My descriptions of the experience of migraine aura never led...

So I used to have (self diagnosed) depersonalization. A bit of context of my experience so you guys know where my ideas are at rn, I used to see my body as just flesh I can control (who would've had it's own conscious if I hadn't taken over) and that I was a parasite moving the host body like a...

Long story short I started having dpdr again after being free from it for 5 years. There are two things that bother me most, the excessive thoughts that nothing is real and having a bad sense of time. But I started a new medication almost 3 weeks ago and last week I felt really quite good...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6764488/ The EEG or electroencephalogram, can help establish the origin of dissociative symptoms, (unless I read this abstract wrongly.)

After having suffered with DP/DR for a couple years off and on and some bouts with it when I was little, what I noticed was my eyes. I know you can relate! Whatever you are suffering with that brought you to this forum, you know exactly what I am referring to here. I remember getting DP'd some...

Okay so last week I took about an hour and a half writing this post explaining in full detail my situations but then I got a server error and it deleted the whole thing and for some reason I couldn't retrieve where it was auto saving LOL. So I thought I'd just summarize instead of giving the...

Hey guys, I want to remind you all that DPDR is absolutely, completely curable. It'll involve rejecting your scary thoughts in ways you've never been brave enough to do before, but it is completely worth it. I'm a girl in my 20s... this condition once dominated my entire life, but I've been...

Good evening to everyone! I wish good luck to everyone. We have to believe one day will be normal again. We are all fighters. This is my 5 months story until now. After an intense period of psychological stress due to a break up and dismissal from work i felt something in my head like headaches...

Hello! I just joined the community, but have read a lot of topics and discussions in the past years. I have DP/DR for 4 years now and it has been a real struggle, but there have been also a lot of good days. At the moment I have high blood pressure and I feel really bad, of course DP/DR is...

Hey guys I'm new here to dpselfhelp, I guess i'll just lay it out all on the table so i seem more transparent. First. My father became ill of cancer in January of 2018, after a long and hard fought battle he passed away in August of 2019. I was unbelievably close to my dad as he was my best...

Ive had dp/dr for about 9 years now. Ive been getting help for it but alot of these people have never dealt with someone like me. Its like a guessing game for them and ive been trying a lot of different things for years and a lot of medication for years. Im actually off meds now because that did...

Hi. My name is Sandra. I have had chronic DPDR for almost 8 yrs now. I suffered in silence up until April of last year. I didn't know what this was.. I didn't know what I was experiencing. I thought I was going crazy and therefore didn't seek help sooner. Keeping this to myself has been...

Hey all, I am 27 year old and have struggled with DPDR (especially derealization) for over two years now. In this period of time I have suffered a LOT, but I have also learned a lot and am slowly getting out of the hole that is DPDR. Hopefully forever. In this time I used these forums a lot to...

Hey all! Brief intro: I recently signed up on this website but have had depersonalization/derealization for 4 months now, I am 18 years old. Still not exactly sure how I got this, but it honestly does not matter to me, I have it and have accepted that its part of my life now and have to deal...

Hi Everyone! First post here. I was diagnosed with initially Complex PTSD, and now 2 years later a depersonalization disorder. I Bam trying to find others who have similar diagnosis but experience the high function states aswell which aren't traditionally apart of the pathology.y this I mean...

i know the title is super long but this is something that has really been bothering me for a week or so now. i just feel like nothing is real and my life is just a movie playing on a screen and im not in my body and i'm just floating somewhere alone in space. it feels like nothing i say or think...
