I think I'm still in the derealization state! But I'm trying for it to not bother me I'm aware of how I feel and how it makes me see and anxiety makes me fall more deeper into the feeling but less anxiety still keeps me on it but still won't give up! Quick question of derealization is it supposed to always be severe or can you still have derealization and be calm? :D

https://youtu.be/JJx8eBl1nX4 Go to 37 minutes in. They talk about dpdr on tonights livestream and jenna says a great analogy. She says that for dpdr its like being in a car, with broken brakes goinf 80 mph. And to slow it down, with ocd we keep trying to hit the brakes (obsessions and compulsions) but keep accidentally hitting the gas, so the only way to get out of this state is to take both feel off the pedals and just let it happen

I don’t know but I’ve been dealing with it on and off for weeks now but I also came off my SSRI. I didn’t experience it until I was put on my med. but it does go from severe to feeling calm and knowing the feeling is still lingering but it’s not dangerous and it’s not going to hurt anyone so but I personally do get these moments where it hits me super hard and I don’t feel real and nothing does either.

Back again. You can have DR and feel calm. It's the worrying about the sensations that causes anxiety.
