I CANT tell where I’m at. I can be good for like 7-8 hours and then all of the sudden I have like a flash of DPDR even if it’s only a moment & then everything is downhill. I’m looking forward to the day I feel who I am again 😄

I truly thank you for these videos. I'm just 15 and experiencing existential crisis. I used to search for answers on the internet and they just caused me more existential crisis. I was (and now too, I'm still recovering) constantly wondering why about everything from the big bang to the future (even the aliens 👽 - i was going crazy 🤪). I didn't feel like myself, I didn't feel human and even the thought of having an existential crisis gave me more anxiety because it sounded so bad. I've recently started embracing this new kind of anxiety and searching for positive andvice and videos on how to stop it till I found you. knowing that other people have had similar experiences and recovered brought me joy and hope. Now when such weird or scary thoughts about death and all come to my mind I just stop and remind myself that this is a thing that can happen to people and not whatever I think or read on the internet is real.

I’m in between 3 and 4 I think. Yesterday I noticed I was feeling good for hours, as soon as I noticed, a wave of fear washed over me and lasted for hours. Till I went to bed.

I had my first experience with DR when I was 13. I remember it so well, i was sitting in my room and thinking existential thoughts when suddenly this wave of anxiety and DR feeling that I've never felt before washed over me. I was so afraid and I just couldn't let it go, time passed and I thought about it more and more often and it got worse and worse until one day it just knocked me over. constant anxiety, fear and thoughts. My parents eventually took me to a doctor but this was 18 years ago in Sweden so no doctor knew what was happening to me, they said that they didn't find anything wrong with me. This period in my life is the most traumatic that I have ever faced. I went through it all alone with no one to guide me and it was so painful. But... I recovered, eventually my mind just couldn't take it anymore, I was so tired and exhausted so it was like one day I was just fed up and didn't care, I'm just gonna go out and do what I want to do and this DR feeling can be there if it wants to, I don't care. And then like magic it went away. Until now, 17 years later (That's why I'm here). One day I remembered that awful period, I thought about it and like possessed by a demon the feeling was back, the fear and anxiety which over time got worse and worse until it knocked me over again. like history repeated itself, but this time there is internet and I learned that there is a name for this derealization, and there are a lot of other people who suffer from the same thing. My anxiety this time roots itself in that it remembers me of that period in my life and I am once again terrified of this DR feeling. though this time I know that I've been through it before and i got out. I believe that I am in stage two now, I'm passed the real hard suffering, I've just reached in to my past to find these memories which I had pushed away because of fear, I'm no longer fighting when facing these feeling and anxiety, I accept them and I allow myself to sit with my feelings and anxiety, sometimes it overwhelmes me but I'm not avoiding them so it feels like I'm once again on the right path, just bought a meditation book after watching one of your meditation video, I felt that it was something that made me really come to peace and relax

I'm so glad I'm not alone on this journey. I was feeling like nobody understood what I am feeling. I'm 5 months in on this thing and I'm starting to have a little more clarity now. Some days are pretty good for a few hours. I'm learning to sit with the uncomfortable feeling. Acceptance... In the beginning I would just cry and go to the ER thinking I was dying. I suffer from Health anxiety. I stopped googling symptoms and fearing my health anxiety about 2 and a half months ago. I do PMR and 4, 7, 8, breathing everyday. I also use a massage gun daily as well. Eating better and exercising have helped me too. I'm down 35 pounds in 5 months. Good luck to all my fellow sufferers. Keep your heads up and face the fear. Thank you for this video. There's just not enough information on this subject out there. You're the best on YouTube. 👍

the reddit comment is so true. it made everything so much worse.

I’m definitely around 4, I have days where I still have DPDR but it doesn’t really bother me, I can still do what I gotta do, without it affecting me then the next morning I wake up and i’ll have such a bad brain fog and dissociation is much worse and it’s like if it’s a whole new feeling then I start going into forums and youtube to find out what wrong with me again 😂 but I haven’t had a panic attack since July so i’m definitely stronger mentally, I’ve learned how to keep myself under control without my mind telling me i’m in danger. I know when I drink tons of water, I feel better, also sleep is definitely important. I’m trying to eat better, sometimes it’s hard. I definitely lost a lot of weight, I used to weigh 377 lbs, i’m currently 330 lbs. Lost all of that weight since February of this year. It’s a crazy journey but I know will eventually get through it.

I hope you receive so many blessings in your life. You have been helping me so much in my recovery. When I’m having a very rough moment I play your videos for hope. Thank you❤️

[sofiamendoza]

I really love your videos. I am 16yo and you make me feel a little peace about my existential crisis. Currently I think I am in stage 2 so i'm trying to do things that are good for my mental and physical health, like go to therapy and doing exercise. I begun to feel a little bit better but I have moments where I feel bad or overwhelmed by my feelings or thoughts. But I think i'm getting better step by step.

Thank you for all your videos and help, Robin❤

Btw: Sorry for my english hahah

[amair]

Thank you! I've always felt like I am a different being than everybody else, that my weird personality is too weird at the core and I can't help this, but now I start to see it another way and hope for accepting myself and resolving my mental complications. Thank you, truly, you give me hope and understanding of what is going on.

Thank you so much for your videos. I'm finally getting my confidence back and that feels amazing. I didn't even know what DPDR was before your videos and I felt really relieved to be able to just understand my disorientaton and most importantly that I wasn't alone in the experience.
