May's Depersonalization Recovery Story (2024)

Hii!! It’s may! If you have any questions I’m here! you will get through this!

I have depersonalization and de realization from my brain injury and dementia. Its 24/7. Have had it now 4 years straight

My life is returning to normal too, after I met this guy (Shaun) a window of hope opened for me, I already feel a lot of improvement, I am practically cured of the symptoms of derealization. To those who are struggling, there is a way out, do not fear, everything will return to normal.

May!! Fellow NYer! In the midst myself of DPDR. So happy for you that you recovered and pursuing juvenile justice , if you read this comment, you should look into the summer college internship with the Department of Probation in juvenile probation it's om NYC job website and would be really up your alley with restorative justice and whatnot.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, May. I found listening to your story brought me a sense of calm knowing that other people have their own experiences with this and make it through to the other side. Wishing you continuous good health and peace 🙏💚

i had dpdr before it used to be bad i recovered and now i have been having repeating thoughts of it coming back

Thank you for your story and so glad you are well 😊!

Well done May xxx loved your story and that you found sucess in recovery

NICE TO HEAR ❤😊

i just recovered after 3 months of continuous stress🎉. Full recovery is possible and you’ll see it too! ask me anything you want

I had a horrible high experience and then hade something traumatic happen that made me have a setback and get dpdr but it has been getting so much better watching your videos!! One thing I was having trouble with was constantly thinking about time passing and I was wondering if anyone has had the same feeling?

It felt like i was waking up every second smoking a synthetic batch.

it gets better theres going to be a lot of up and downs but you have to keep living your life and not pay attention to it there’s no medication that will help this there might be medication that helps the anxiety but not the out of body experience I went through this for about 8 months I still have my days but I’m way better then I was 8 months ago you have to keep pushing your self even if it doesn’t feel you like you have to do it it’s the only way for dpdr to go away , at the end you will thankfully you went through it because you will appreciate life more , get closer to god and find the root of your dpdr ik it sucks ik it feels like there no hope but trust me it till get better …

I tried to k_ill myself yesterday but it didn’t work unfortunately .I am a girl 17 years old, I struggle for 3 months with thoughts and feeling that destroy my brain destroyed my hole life there is some voice coming from my head telling me all the day , everyday, every minute in my life that nothing is real nothing is real, the life not real not exist, my family is not exist they are not real , the people the humans not real not exist , my memories in my childhood is not real and I’ve always remembered them because they were beautiful , I look to my mom something tell me that this is all illusions she is not exist it’s all illusions from my mind I remember what happens yesterday like what I eat there is something deny everything I believed and with the time I started believe it and all my day start with a big argument with someone I don’t who it is but the only thing that I know that I lost my control the last week I put my hand in so so hot water to feel and to prove that I am exist and the life is real and I started cried because my hand was red because of painful , and after I struggled with the painful of the hot water those things comes again and told me that doesn’t happen you didn’t burned your hand it is not real you maybe imagine it it’s said that I am Laing it is all illusions nothing is happens nothing is real . When I looking to my sister and hugging her there is something forced me to believe that my sister is not real I really get tired of everything even the last month I met my old teacher that I’ve been always took him as role model those things comes again and told me that the teacher is not real your memories not real there is no life you’re just imagine or they are just illusions and they are not real please someone helps me I don’t even know if I’ll not k_illing myself because I lost my control when I look to the sky and the sun there is something told me it is not true and I really started believe it even now I try to ask help from you there is something that told me it not gonna work you will never be ok because nothing is real nothing it is gonna happen because nothing is exist and I tried to response those thoughts that maybe my mom my family that I loved them all my life maybe they are real maybe they are not but it’s gets worse please someone help me and tell me what is happening with me before I hurt myself . And the thing that I didn’t get a drug or something but before that happened I have been struggle with anxiety about the feature and I’ve been struggle with overthinking and depression and then just a thought and feeling come told me everything is not real I am not real and exist the hole life my brothers the movies the tv series there was something deny everything and my family will never let me go to psychologist

I’m at the point where I don’t even care that I have dpdr and it’s starting to go away but i still have the emotional numbness I’m just waiting for it to come back even tho that probably why I got it it’s my passion for life that got me hurt to begin with

i see everything but my head dont see this. why? i think i am a blind.

Shaan when you talk about distractions on your book its with the objective to not dwell on our symptoms?

Mi am recovering from my second dpdr fase, i now suffer with severe insomnia while im still recovering which makes me feel somewhat bad i wang to know if this is part of it.

Hi guys, I have been struggling with derealization since I started smoking weed (probably with unwanted additives) in October 2023. Many of the symptoms have gone (I recognize myself in the mirror and I consider the world to be real), but I have a problem that has been bothering me since January this year. This is a first-person perspective problem. It causes me pain and fear that I see with my own eyes and perceive the world from the first person. It's uncomfortable for me that I can't see my face. The worst thing is that I have lived this way all my life and I never would have even thought that there could be something strange about it. Now it seems unnatural and limiting to me... I've had this symptom for 4 months and I can't get rid of it. It takes away my joy from life. Have any of you had this? Has it passed? How to overcome this?

@dpmanual. Hello shaun where can I found your dp manual thank you.
