Troy's Depersonalization Recovery Story (2024)

to anybody reading in , your seeing life in the lens of anxiety & thats why recovery seems impossible. ive recovered from it once & im currently going through it again sadly , but keep the faith cus you will get better! & you WILL feel normal again!

It really does get better. I was lurking on these vids for months and have days where I literally can’t function but it seriously does get better. If I can get better than anyone can.

I’ve had it for 10 years on and off. A migraine triggered another intense bout of it and I’m finally finding out what it’s called. I know there is hope for me to kick its butt and be rid of it for good. His story & the scriptures shared definitely encouraged me. I’ll be buying the manual. Thank you!!!

For those that have this I had it 24/7 from November 2019 to December 2021. It was so bad I didn’t wanna live anymore but now a days I look back on that time and kinda laugh. I spent so much time trying to figure out what was wrong with me and how to fix myself when that was the opposite of what I should have been doing.

This guy's attitude got him through dp, there's no stopping this young man.

God is beautiful ❤️ Congratulations on your recovery brother, and for everyone else afraid they won't get back to normal, you absolutely will.

I’ve had this for three years now after taking mushrooms. I’ve gone through ups and downs. There have been times when I commit to my recovery and see significant improvement, but then I fall back into old habits and DR feels really strong. I’m looking to commit again but I’m discouraged by how many times I’ve failed. Still, seeing recovery stories makes me feel hopeful and determined. Thanks for all you do Shaun

A great quote for DPDR “this can’t not be a big deal” I just came up with it. Shit is too peripherizing. And anxietating. And dependifying.

Ive leaned just recently that stress is the number 1 factor for you to get better or get worse or be stagnant in the dpdr. Im working on my stress and not allowing it to control me.

It's really scary, I have strange thoughts, that everything may not be real, that I will never be back to normal, and I will become crazy and end up in mental hospital. I have no idea what I can do 😢.

I feel like i recovered very well… I can really say that i am back to reality.. Everything looks so good again.. so clear.. but i still have it sometimes in the day.. but i am still in my recovery process.. in the night sometimes i have bad visual symptoms.. for example when i enter in my home i have bad light sensivity.. but i think it will go away if i continue to do what i did to recover.. i started 1 month ago to don t care anymore and beeing busy.. try to play on my ps5 etc.. just being busy.. it helped a lot 😂 But i hate this visual symptoms at night, thank you very much Shaun..

Ive had it for over a decade. And the thing thats been going on since then is being on edge anxious all the time, now i have decided to go to a psychiatrist plus telling myself good things. Hopefully it shall get better soon

your videos have helped me so much. i’ve been doing so good latley with lingering symptoms. i’m just frustrated that they won’t go away. i wish it would fully go away. i feel pointless

yeah it’s really scary, i am also scared i may have multiple personality disorder but i remember people very much well and my memories, i just don’t feel any connection to them at all and even when my name is called i don’t feel connected at all and my environment sometimes feel unfamiliar, I’m so scared

Hey Sean, you are talking in your dp manual it’s only a symptom of anxiety, but are you talking about the anxiety of Depersonalization, or anxiety in general? Because I’ve been experiencing Depersonalization, and I know that I’m anxious of it, but I don’t feel anxious about other things in my life. Is it true that the anxiety is just the anxiety of the condition itself, or is it through other ways that I’m experiencing it? For example stressing about work or not enough sleep?

The only concerns I still have are wondering/worrying about how long the recovery phase is and what it feels like. I do not like the idea of still feeling this way while recovering for months. I also find it difficult to stop worrying about worrying about DP. For example, when watching TV. There are periods where I don't think of DP and I am engaged, but then I remember DP. Most of my concentration is on trying not to think about DP, which of course doesn't really work. Pretty much, I worry about not focusing on the show and as such end up not focusing on the show. I would also appreciate it if you explained how to deal with symptoms now. It's difficult to forget about DP when you are experiencing the symptoms, at this point for me it's mainly the visual symptoms and inability to focus/concentrate. I hope you can answer these questions, Shaun.

Hello shaun, i am suffering dp for 4 months. I can go out and do things but i am always watching these videos for encouragement. But i dont feel i am recovering can I do with you a recovery coaching so you can help me with what i am doing wrong and what to help me. Because i feel so frustrated of this condition. I already bought your manual one month and half ago. Thank you shaun

Hello, I am very afraid because I feel that I am going to stop recognizing everything and forget my life, my family, etc... and myself. Is it just fear or can feeling so disconnected lead me to something this serious?

Hey can you please clear my doubts? When I think about these thoughts I get stressed and DPDR starts to kick in. So these thoughts are , am I gonna be fully normal as I was before DPDR , Am I gonna have to live this for my whole life? Because I'm just 16 I have so many things to do in my life. I got it on 20th MAY but rn I am really getting better day by day but when I get these thoughts doubts disconnection and all it starts to kick in . I hope I'll recover soon and I can feel things like I felt before this and I can enjoy my life like I used to do before DPDR. And one more thing please , Does it come back after fully recovering? Will it come back if you think about it after recovering from it? And more thing , does it effect your hearing? Because whenever I start having an episode my hearing becomes so weird and like volume going down idk why is it affecting my hearing? Or it's just me who is overthinking about it?

i zoom out very bad when i am going to have a haircut and i am looking in the mirror for too long. I also have some breaks when i feel 100% recovered, like it was used to be before the dpdr stage and i think like why am i scared of because everything is ok, but the next day it keeps coming back. Is it a sign of recovery if i have these breaks when i feel normal? Because when i zone out everything feels reals, but i feel like i am in a bubble and i am not 100% lucid .
