You cant explain Derealization and depersonalization to people who haven't experienced it. Its one of the most complicated feelings to try to describe to people who havent had it

[ENDERFLOWERZ]

I just want to feel normal again I'm so tired

[dotdot]

Derealization is like when you're playing a story-based videogame and you're incredibly bored and just don't care what's going on and just do something except all that is actual you

[sabekanontsistontiestashie]

I feel like I'm trapped in my body like a suit you can't take off

[maya.xoxo.]

i always said “I feel like I’m dreaming”, but a good way to make it stop is to be concentrated as much as possible

I have had it for about 4-5 years now. At first it would only happen a few times a month, then a few times a week, then almost everyday and now I just don't feel real 24/7 for months on end sometimes. The only thing that can really make me snap out of it is my boyfriend but it only happens out of random every few months. I remember before I met him I kept track of how long I didn't feel real or alive at all and it was 14 months. I really wish disorders like this were talked about more so people like me can find a way out of this hell hole of disassociation and depersonalization because it really just doesn't feel like living at all when your symptoms get this bad. I wish luck to everyone that needs help and hope you get better and start feeling real again.

Update: after a year with feeling real and over a year and a half with my boyfriend he left me. It's coming back and worse than ever. But it's ok it'll all end soon. I hope you all live out great lives and get over this soon and not have to remember the pain of not being real. I love you all even though I don't know you, I just hope you're all ok now and in the future

I had it since 11 years old and now I am 33. I found a solution to this problem when I'm at around 27 years old. Now I am completely free. I never had this problem anymore. It can be fixed spiritually, thanks to God.

sometimes i feel nostalgic and start view world with my childhood prespective

Marijuana could also give you this effect. I’ve been in torment since I was 14. I’m 20 now, for me it’s like being in an eternal sativa or hybrid head high mixed with very very severe social anxiety.

I have it sometimes. First few times it was really scary, I thought I was loosing my mind. But now I understand when it happens and just try to stay relaxed until it goes away. For me, one of the most uncomfortable symptoms of it is feeling like you’re not you. Like everything about your personality doesn’t matter to you anymore. I don’t know how to explain it, I can’t find the right words… And I really need to know that I’m not the only one who felt it. No one understands me… Please, tell me if you know what feelings I’m talking about. And english isn’t my native language so don’t pay attention to my mistakes (If I made them)

Depersonalization somehow makes me feel like I don’t have pain receptors

[versia]

i feel like im always one step away from actually being here. its like im watching life through a glass door i cant open

[apriljoypaghubasan]

I have dpdr for almost a year now 🙂
First few episodes are so scary.
Only thing that helped me is acceptance and when it happens again you gotta let it happen. Don't fight it. It's the only way to survive.

[davefischer]

This is common with depression and anxiety, it can be very scary at first, but eventually u get over it. It’s very strange and scary, I remember first experiencing it

[jonathanmolina]

Ice cold baths have worked for me. Hopefully this helps someone.

Depersonalization doesn't literally feel as though your exiting your body and watching yourself own self interact as another person just standing beside you. It's more like, you're experiencing someone else interact with others whilst you're in their body and seeing out their eyes. The looking at your own hands thing, feeling as though they aren't even yours is super accurate.

Man luckily I don't experience this anymore aside from very rare occasion, but as a child, first time I experienced it was at Disneyland. I remember crying and telling my mom "I feel like I'm not seeing things properly, someone talks to me it feels like i don't remember how to respond like normal, it feels like I'm not a real person anymore, etc." I was absolutely terrified, unfortunately my mom didn't understand how serious and scared I was so I never knew what was going on until I became an adult.

Experiencing that was one of the worse feelings of my life and I know it sounds dramatic but I thought I was gone forever and that there was nothing left. I wanted to let go because I hated how I was feeling. When I described it to friends and family they thought I was going crazy. I finally went to the doctor they made me realize that there is hope and that I can make it through this. And you can too ❤ love you all

[DaxReactions]

I hate when this happens to me I cried one time because I was trying to connect myself back

i had the first one i think. I am scared of going by train (also car, bus and so on). But i wanted to visit my mum so much and went on an six hour train ride to see her. After 2 hours in that train i started to feel detatched to myself. It felt like i am in a movie, not in a life. When i saw my mum i could not feel anyting. I said to her "mum i wish i could smile or show you that i am happyvto see you, but my face is numb. I can not smile. I feel nothing, i feel like this is a movie, like this is not real. I am sorry." I wonder what this depersonalisation is leasing to, does it effect anyting afterwards?

I had this strongly throughout highschool until the end of 2021. Things got better relatively quick after this. I had to remind myself that I'm a real person and that my presence has meaning, good and bad. I experience it more when I'm exhausted, so I avoid symptoms by getting enough rest.
