Derealization

[fast tiger]

I would really appreciate it if someone that’s also struggling with derealization could talk to me. I feel like it would help out a lot !! I’m not sure if derealization is the right word for it, but it’s what describes what I feel the best.

[formal hornet]

like you feel dissociate often?

[fast tiger]

Yeahh I feel really disconnected from everything and everyone but i think it’s more than just feeling dissociated like everything around me is just fake like a dream and it’s a really scary feeling ive felt it before but it was never this bad

[formal hornet]

and that make you have quite a hard time with talking to people yea?

[fast tiger]

I don’t talk to that many people but when I do I don’t have the hardest time with it, it just feels like an act like in a game or movie for example it’s weird and scary

I have moments where I don’t really think about it but when I do it hits so hard and if I think too much about it I get really anxious

[formal hornet]

yea surely you did use right word. do you remember when did all these occur

well that's a good start i don't think it gonna be easy but i would say you can overcome it by urself. try not to check ur condition and just let it go for now ig accept that how it is that way you might feel less weird and scared. try focus on urself a lot like gym yea and all sort of things you find it easy to invest urself in and avoid caffeine too and have enough sleep?

[fast tiger]

yes that’s the best thing to do to just not focus on it and instead focus on other things I’m really horrible with sleeping but lately I’ve been sleeping earlier and waking up earlier that does help feeling more connected thank you^^

[formal hornet]

have you tired sleep with eyes open

[fast tiger]

No 😭 that doesn’t sound like the best sleeping habit

Honesty I expierence derealization. It's one of the most shittiest things you can ever have.

imo, it's mostly what happens I think when you just don't trust your emotional instincts anymore and therefore you feel like your brain is spiraling

[hearty grail]

Pray you'll never know what it feels like

[fast tiger]

Just saw this msg. It really is one of the most shittest I still deal with it but it’s not as bad. I’ve done some more research about it since I posted my initial msg and you’re right for some people it happens when your brain can’t trust yourself and doesn’t feel safe so it goes into this weird protective mode and one of the ways to get rid of DRDP is to make yourself trust yourself again more discipline and such things.

How did it start getting not as bad as it used to be?
