Yes. And I’ve learned to just ride the wave, same as anxiety. Rather than freak out and try to get myself feeling “real” again, I label what’s happening “oh, I’m feeling depersonalized.” And then I look back to what I was doing before it hit and continue, while allowing that feeling to be with me. It leaves on its own fairly quickly after that. Much quicker than when I try to fight with it or force it to leave.
This is very helpful! Thank you. Labeling it has always helped me in the past, I’ll use this for my dpdr too :)
I've experienced this slightly, it's usually when I'm having an depressive episode. I've never had it on the level you've explained tho so I can't imagine how disorienting that must be. I know I've had feelings of thinking am I really me, like am I here. I'm aware when that happens but I've had the feeling that I'm a controller in my body/head if that makes sense and sometimes I can feel separate from my body, it creeps me out tho so I try to snap out of it.
Yupppppp
Does anyone else have depersonalization? I don’t feel as dreamlike lately but I just don’t feel like me anymore. I question everything, am I real, I look at a pic and think is that really me, will I ever feel like me again? Does anyone else have this?
Is anyone else experiencing derealisation ? If yes how long? What do you do to face it?
Has anyone felt it affect their vision? Like things seem farther away or closer? Very frightening. Any advice? Anxiety has been so high as of late idk why.
