    Hello, is this still derealization? I noticed something different, like having a constant feeling of jamais vu-meaning-never-seen. I read on the internet: This also seems to be related to research on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which looked at the effect of compulsive staring into...

    44 PEOPLE ALREADY COMPLETED THE SURVEY! THANK YOU EVERYONE :) HI EVERYONE! :) I am Giovanni Foglia and I have been suffering from Depersonalization/Derealization disorder for the last 12 years. As you may know, DDD is a seldomly researched condition academically, therefore I decided to take it...
  3. Treatment Options
    I’ve tried so many things.. tyrosine, cbd, reishi, lions mane, fish oil, nac.. even prescription meds. They do nothing for me. I’ve had dp and dr since I was 15 that’s.. a very long time ago. It’s constant. It’s a constant shadow over me and I feel I’m not alive. I’m not living this life it’s...

    I've had DP/DR for a while without even realizing it until recently. It hasn't been to bad, but recently i've been having it pretty much all the time. It makes me feel like im dying or something, and it gets really bad when im in public or around people (specifically strangers) and I dont really...

    Two years ago, I'm pretty sure I came down with COVID. This was right before COVID hit the U.S., before quarantine, and schools closing. Because of this, I was never tested (hospitals weren't even doing COVID tests yet). I was sick with what I thought was the flu for about a week, but no fever...

    i don't really know when it started but i'm under the impression it started when i was quite young. i hold onto small memories of me as a child—waking up to the smell of the crisp morning air, the sun is just rising and the sky is tinted with orange, pinks and purples. or riding down the hill in...

    This is probably going to be long and very rambling, but please bear with me. Some of this is copied from a post on reddit by what feels like the only other person out there experiencing what I'm experiencing. They stopped posting a while ago though, which feels foreboding. Starting about two...
  8. Introduce Yourself
    Hello, I am writing these lines because I am "clearer" again today and I know from my times with very strong derealisation symptoms how often I researched on the internet and the partly very negative reports of experiences influenced me in an unhealthy way. I am also writing these lines because...

    Hi everyone! I'm a senior film student at a university local to New York City, and I'm creating a short film about both my experiences and others' experiences with DP/DR. Since there's a huge lack of DP/DR representation in the media, my goal is to create a mini-documentary that accurately...

    I don’t know what I am looking for by posting. I wouldn’t dare self-diagnose myself, and I am not prepared to seek out a diagnosis from an expert. I know the implications of having this sort of diagnosis listed on my PMH. I am a medical professional working in a field that encounters a wide...

    Hi! I'm Heleena, and I've decided to join this support group to get some help for when I have bad dissociative "episodes." Some basic information about me ? I am 16, and have been diagnosed with OCD, Major Depressive Disorder, and possible Cyclothymic Disorder? I have been treated for my...

    Hi everyone, a few days ago I wrote my story here on my account , I am still recovering, but there is a thought that haunts me constantly ...Can DPDR come back after a few years of being recovered? Is there a way to don't make it come back? I'm afraid it may come back even stronger.
  14. Introduce Yourself
    Hi everyone, I am a 16 year old student and I live in Italy. Unfortunately I too, like many of you, got DPDR from weed. But now I'll tell you my story better. I have always been a sociable girl, full of friends, and with a very quiet life (never had problems with family or anything like...

    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...
  16. Introduce Yourself
    Hi All Ive had what I have been calling derealization for 18 months now. Its not simple and came with other health issues for me, which is making recovery complicated because I keep questioning if is derealization. I dont experience existential thoughts. I havent ever just laid around dazed...

    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...
  18. Recovery Stories
    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...

    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...
