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 just a dream. The specialist I saw said I had a good imagination, I’ve not found any way out. it steals my memories away so I don’t remember my life. I’m terrified of death because I feel I’m going to suffer when I’m not even really alive.
My body constantly feels like it’s vibrating and the colors are so dim. I can’t remember a time I didn’t feel this way, except in my dreams which feel more real. I already tried therapy all sorts it didn’t help.
What can I do? What can I even try now to alleviate this? It’s getting thicker and thicker I’m not even stressed out my life is actually great I have good going for me and it’s still there.. what can I even do to alleviate it now am I just stuck this way forever?
the only thing I remember is when I was 15 my classmate slammed the back of my head into a cement bench, parents took me years later to get an mri and they found nothing. I have autism and they didn’t know how to handle it so the psychiatrist they sent me to stuffed me with medicines which all affected me adversely because my body is stupidly sensitive.
Anyone have any ideas? Anything that’s worked?

Hi friend, I also have long term dp/Dr mine started when I was 13 year old and from 15 to 22 it was completely gone but since June of 2022 it came back and recently what have helped my was:
1 - Make exercise (at first it will look really unpleasant but you'll get use to it)

2 - eat healthy food

3 - Socialize with other people (it is the hardest part for me)

4 - Maditation

I've also on venlafaxine since 2016 and I've been attempting stop to take this shit (it is really hard stop take SNRIs so don't take this mads). I thing win in the lottery could be my solution for DP/Dr but it never happened to my 😅

The problem is I can’t meditate well I’m audhd and I just fall asleep, anti depressants make me uncontrollably angry and eating healthy never really helped. When I first got it I ate amazingly healthy my parents were nutrition buffs. Talking to people makes it worse lol

I was hoping to find like nootropics I could use

Hey, I have autism and ADHD too apparently. I just got diagnosed in the past year and I am 38. My DPDR also started around when I was 15. And it's the same as you, my DPDR stays the same even when I eat healthily or when I don't feel particularly stressed.
I had some form of long term trauma with my narcissistic mother though. She was very unsupportive and selfish and I was very depressed as a teenager. I also have some mood disorder (kind of bipolar/cyclothymia) that started when I was a teenager and also my father past away when I was 14. But I mostly had a rough time with my mother. How was your childhood, if you don't mind sharing? Also I wrote a long post about something I noticed about my personality traits that I think DPDR might be related to. It's here. If you ever read it, I would be interested to know if you identify with it.
