[Depersonalization] Will I ever be my old self again?

Yes this experience of Anxiety & derealization has been a humbling experience and I’m definitely going to be a higher happier version of my normal self. Healing isn’t linear was my first acceptance

Hello! I have this thoughts and feelings all the time. I just wanted to be my old-self because before this depersonalization, I am such a fun person to hang out with to talk with and I got a nice sense of humor and I am more social because I am funny and fun and I don’t really care about people’s thoughts about me. But after I get depersonalization, I am feeling I have lost my fun, sense of humor, my social skills, and I feel sad about it. Now people didn’t seem really interested with me because I am not fun the way I used to be before.That is why I wanted to be my old-self because that is what tracks me to be happy. I just need a solution but I don’t know how and I cant accept the “me” now.

That’s almost exactly how it happened to me. I literally just woke up with it and it was so intense. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.❤️

So uplifting and encouraging, thank you ♥️

Omg this video I think will help me get through all the stages with less stress and thanks a lot.. right now iam not able to fully analyse even what iam typing but what ever you said did calm me down and hope I believe I’ll come out stronger and again Thankyou🌸❤️

i've had this for 7 quick years (DP/DR means time seems to speed up for me) from 15-22 and still going. The thing you were talking about why it happens to people after early 20's, happened to me in school because school was so stressful for me. This is such a positive outlook on this disorder though, thankyou for making these videos!!

I had exactly the same notions about this, that though this may be hard but it is teaching me a lot of things such as how to be grounded, how not to judge anyone, how to be humble. Give everyone a benefit of doubt that you don’t know what one is going through. All in all I would agree that person wants to get to his/her older self but a time comes when they see a lot a bad habits and behaviours in that older self. To me depersonalisation was all about burning my weaknesses and bad habits. Stoicism helped a lot, books helped a lot, exercise helped a lot, talking to people with this experience or something far greater than this helped a lot. People who were suffering from something far harder than this were motivation and at the end I cannot thank the legend swamy g for being so truthful about his experience and helping people all around the world. Swamy you are just a godsend I want to meet you someday in person. May the creator bless you now and always.

Great points, loved it and thank you

I think I’m in stage 2 now cuz now the unreality of course still there but I’m not worrying about alternative reality feeling

Love the videos man! Pls keep them coming!

Very inspiring video, thank you 🙂

I experienced this twice in a row now and i’m just 21. The first time was SCARY. I’m navigating through the second one in a much better way now.

Listening to this is so comforting because its the exact opposite of ego death, (which is almost impossible to explain) making dpdr almost impossible to explain. I will become myself again and thrive no matter how much i have to try. My frustration for this is whats driving me.

Thanks for this video man, a lot of it really hits home for me. For awhile I thought that I was going crazy, but it's good to see that I'm not the only person who has gone through this. I can definitely feel that my recovery process will make me stronger, for now I'm just trying to focus on improving myself, my relationships and just becoming a kinder person overall. Thanks again for the video.

It is now extremely hard to socialize with my old friends, I don't have any friends and I'm now losing them too because of my extreme awkwardness. I truly don't know what to do, and I'm now becoming frustrated

I have dpdr januari .. now I recover 70% .. thanks for your email sammy .. I will keep try activity ride bycicle etc ..... you are greaaat

I am in middle school and i have been experiencing things like this because the people around me and me myself have changed so much im still a kid and things are starting to feel like i am adult and looking into my childhood which i am in. Holidays haven’t felt the same and things like summer have not felt the same and i have been trying to go back to the same places to feel the same as i have when i was in elementary. Once it worked but only with music my intrests are fading away and i still want to be intrested with them. I hate middle school for this reason i have been having these random like kinda outbursts of daydreams that happen anytime of like 4-2nd grade. I think its hitting hard for me because i was a kid when the quarantine happened and it happened in a time where i was very dependent on friends and different people to talk to. I just wanna be a kid ya know i wanna be so excited on Christmas opening presents but lately its not been exiting nothing exited me that much anymore. I wanna go back to when I still had reassess go on bike rides watch dan tdm and game theory and be obsessed with fnaf. I just wanna be me again.

better than my old self but trumatised as hell for what I've been through with derealisation! never sure if I can trust my brain again

Good video man I've had it 5years now and I've changed throughout those years but still stuck in this dream state

you explain it out of the moon. thanks br@
