Have y’all dealt with derealization & depersonalization before? Going through it right now. Any tips or something to just hold on too. So annoying. OCD has been tough on me this week. I think because I got out of my routine..just needing some advice

It is uncomfortable for sure! Like some others mentioned, anything you can do to lean into the feeling without overly fighting it will help, while continuing to do the things you find important to do in your life. Hang in there!

I went through something similar a few years ago...it was like a combination of depersonalization and depression. One of my regrets from that time is that I lost a lot of hope and more or less gave up on life for a while because I didn't think anything would ever improve. Like everything, those feelings pass sooner or later, and it does get better. Also, open up even if that feels unnatural; it helps to lean on others for support. <3

Me for the past 2.5 years :/

Me for the last 6 months, it’s been extremely intense!

I’m experiencing this right now - I find the best thing to do is talk to someone if possible (therapist, loved one, etc) and reminding yourself this is a moment in time and everything passes in the end x

Yes

Yes, I get it really really bad and have for as long as I can remember. As hard as it is the best thing for me has been to lean into it and try to accept the feeling. Remembering that it’s my brain’s protective mechanism helps and learning the cause has helped as well. I can’t find it now but I remember it’s something about your visual perception being a bit behind the rest of it, like the times not synching? Something like that 😅

I deal with DRDP. It has gotten a lot better since doing erp. I do exposures that envoke those feelings so I get used to feeling them. I’m not so afraid anymore. I just think thanks brain
