Why People Get Depersonalization Disorder (Scariest Symptoms Explained)

Depersonalization Disorder is a lesser known mental health issue that has some genuinely scary symptoms. There does not seem to be an agreed explanation for why they occur. In this video I explain why the scariest symptoms happen from the perspective of someone who has essentially recovered.

This video is my own opinion based on my own experiences and is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical help. If you are experiencing issues mentioned in this video and it is creating problems in your life please seek help from a qualified therapist.

The most articulate and sensible description of DP/DR I’ve ever heard. I am 64 years old and originally acquired DP/DR at the age of nine. I’ve lived with on and off for decades. Fabulous insight on your part. Keep up the good work!

I have struggled to listen to all my therapists explaining all the things you explained so well, I actually want to cry because it finally makes so much sense thank you so much !

[Lullabybabyzzz]

You did an excellent job at explaining how I feel and why I’m feeling them. You should be a therapist or a life coach!

Can daydreaming be a symptom of dissociation and depersonalization. I used to have alot from loneliness and alot of trauma. It got so bad that after seeing something bad, I felt so disconnected from everything and then I zone out, and forget what happened in class.

[GiGiHaylett]

It's really refreshing to hear an experiencer talk on the matter.

[harnaazkaur]

Its honestly commendable that you've dealt with it for 10 years I've been depersonlized since 8 months and it really helped:)

This is the best explanation of this Dpdr.

Thank you for the very insightful and scientific explanation. I lost my nan to covid and one day I was in the shower trying to imagine my consciousness being gone. This thought itself came in a wave of fear and anxiety that I bought the derealisation feeling upon myself. Losing self identity, memories gone, And me being me wipe out. It was really a deep thought. As I’m typing this I’m still feeling it (day 5). Im Spiritual so Im meditating hoping it all goes away with affirmations etc. because I know, this is my body and my soul. I have the power and right to not feel this way. I tell myself to accept it and surrender the feeling. This is just a passing phase and I will be fine. It did help but it’s a recovering process :) xx

this is so incredibly helpful, so concise and clear. I can’t thank you enough for the effort you’ve gone through to share your perspective and the things you’ve learned. thank you!!!

Only weeks in and I’ve almost not made it. I considered the word I will not say multiple times. I smoked weed once now everything is just weird. I wonder what happens after death, the meaning of life. Everything is so scary. I find myself sitting in bed not able to get up. Just wanting to distract myself because when I’m not having my mind taken up then I disassociate.

[nitesh]

I can relate to every word. I am almost out as well. 😁

[Raina]

So beautifully stated. I’m happy that you’ve gotten almost totally better. I see how much insight you gained through all that suffering.
Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned with others. Even tho I don’t have DP/ DR, I relate to all you’ve said about trauma. ❤️💜🧡💚💙

Thank you, I have commented before that I have been suffering from DPDR and now in the 27the year of suffering. One think that terribly makes it worse because I believe I have the worst package is that 24/7 for 27 years I Have this ringing in the years that accompanies the DPDR that seems to have a mid of its own. Its almost like another side effect of DPDR and as you explained it is like another part of protection. Sometimes, it just drives me almost crazy.

[SHILLGATESCRYPTO]

I'm not afraid of my DPDR, I'm just so severe and it's so uncomfortable I literally can't ignore it.

I had a milder version in the past that was easier to ignore and it became almost irrelevant, but now it's insanely severe and my body feels so deformed and I don't know how to get through it.

[commbangr]

I have DP/DR on a daily basis and it’s pretty normal now like I’m just learning to live with it, but sometimes if I stay up really late I get super bad episodes of DP and it feels like I’m watching myself move and talk but it’s like I can see myself doing the exact same thing for like 20 seconds, it’s super weird and sometimes scary

[missblue]

Thank you so much! This video eased my mind!

[loganjames]

Did your memories feel very strange and scary? Like you were getting sucked into these childhood memories and they give you this creepy feeling?

[rishikantsingh]

Sir I am 14, feeling depressed and scared everytime. I always think that i am forgetting my parents, my house all the memories and even myself. Plz help, according to the so called"internet", i have dementia, Alzheimer's of any other severe neurological disorder. Other symptoms I face are feeling like my mind goes blank, physical numbness, mental numbness and audio and visual hallucinations.

[leonieschmd]
