I think I have if it’s when you are questioning whether you are real or what’s around is real? I considered it a part of existential OCD. I’ve been dealing with that for about 3 months, it was triggered when I received the news that my grandpa passed away. I’ve been doing ERP self-recordings where I speak out my fears and listen to it over without compulsions. It seems to help a bit I think because it has been declining slowly

I’ve had cannabis induced dp/dr for four years now, it’s gone away but it was triggered again last year. Honestly what’s helped me most is telling myself that I am in control, I keep repeating that to myself when it gets rlly bad bc sometimes it feels like I’m gonna lose it but I won’t, bc like I previously stated you are in control and in charge. Also, try not to pay attention to it, don’t ask yourself “oh do I feel it now” “am I gonna get dp/dr today” etc... I don’t recommend this to everyone but I used to keep a rubber band around my wrist and I would pinch myself with it (very lightly!!) for whenever I would feel out of it and felt like I was about to start panicking. On the bright side, dp/dr is NOT PERMANENT, it’s not considered a disorder, it goes away with practice and time because it’s just a defense mechanism the body uses when overly stressed, depressed, traumatized, etc.. wishing you the best of luck!

What helped me was having a shock like a really cold glass of water or a loud noise would scare me back to reality Maybe not the best advice but it worked for me ? Wish you the best :)

Anyone get this in the beginning and it go away? I posted yesterday how I was feeling pretty good. But realistically it’s only 2 weeks into 5mg so it’s early on and I’ll probably need to move up to 10mg. I’m feeling out of it today like the anxiety isn’t there but it’s like derealization/a calm anxiety if that makes sense lol. Like I just don’t feel real:/
