It's theorized that DPDR occurs when the brain numbs itself as a defense mechanism. It does this after prolonged stress/anxiety as a way to protect itself from overstimulation. You feel foggy, distant, and separate, because the regions of the brain that normally deal with concepts and perception are basically taking a break. So if you stress out about the fact that you're experiencing DPDR, it will only cause it to stay around longer. With this in mind, it's helpful to recognize it for what it is: a defense mechanism of the brain. When you're in the middle of it, try to accept that it is happening, and let it run its course. You can think, "this brain is overwhelmed," or something similar. The key is to be non judgemental. You aren't getting angry that it's happening, simply noticing it. Hope that helps ❤️

Do you ever feel like you’re dying?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?
