In reply to Daniela. I’ve had it for 6 months now. It started after 3 panic attacks in 1 week. It gets better for a couple days and I'm happy and full of self confidence, then it hits me again. I feel soooo hopeless and tired... Now my biggest fear is that I won't recognize myself.

I had a bad high a month ago. I was fine a few weeks after. I wanted to go to the grocery store with my family and I was tired, so I ended up drinking a Red Bull. Ever since then, I’ve been feeling anxious non stop, fearing that I’ll loose my mind, or do something I’ll regret. I wont be able to control it. My mind constantly feels like I have some kind of foggy flim over it and I can barely focus. I researched multiple things and found out that if you have bad high, your brain can go into DP mode to protect itself. I’ve been figuring out that this is normal, but I’m still afraid. I have an appointment with a therapy clinic this November, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to get medication. I’ve never experienced anything like this AT ALL. Also, is it normal for your head to feel colder and number then the rest of your body? I know it’s not actually numb, it just … feels like it. I’d appreciate it if someone commented back 🙂

I became depersonalized many years ago. I woke up disconnected from reality. The storage part is that night I had a horrid nightmare that felt so real. Next thing I know I’m like this.I get this weird feeling in my head that’s hard to explain. I just recently came across info about brain fog, memory and other symptoms that make up DP/DR being connected to the neck. It’s a sign of massive compression. Going to see if this may be my solution.

Thank You for this information of a very scary feeling. I wish that I would have known about it then, when it had happened to me, but I didn’t know what it was. It felt so real, and so scary. Remembering it still now, it still scares me. I had no control of it then. I am still afraid of loosing control. I did not find these feelings helpful then. They caused me to get locked in a mental hospital. These feelings (I learn now) were protecting me, and yet, I felt that they were destroying me. I had to them, and I did. I had to hide them, so that no one would know, so that I would not be locked up in a mental hospital again. I am so glad reading this now. It shows me that I was not crazy, even that this thing was, and I felt helpless in being that. I am glad knowing now that it was not my fault in feeling these crazy things, and that I was not the only one feeling them. This information is very important to any trauma survivors. Everyone should know it, so that if something like this happens again (I hope not) but at least that then it would be known what it really was, and not to be afraid of it. That fear in me was real, and just like with now with the depression, or panic attacks, I can’t control it completely. At least now I know it, and I accept for what it really was, and not for what my mind had caused me to believe. That believe was terrifying, and I am glad that I have survived it.

I’m 18 and I’m not sure if what I have is dp but from what I’ve found I think it is. I just have this strange feeling all the time like I’m looking at everything from a different perspective. It’s hard to focus and sometimes I find my self thinking about certain things with out trying to, as if my subconscious is in the drivers seat. It’s hard to focus and it makes me tired all the time but it gets worse If I sleep during the day. It started a few days ago after I took an hour nap and woke back up and went to bed before I had to go to work the next morning ever since then it’s gotten slightly better but I can still notice it with out a problem. I do have a lot of stress with school, work, and a failing relationship with my girlfriend, and I recently made a decision to stop vaping after trying a few times and failing. I’ve never experienced anything like this before and want to know if I should go to the doctor or do something to make it better. I don’t even know how to describe it to anyone and I’ve only told two people. I just need answers.

In reply to Bareena J. How are you now Bareena? I’m going through it now too, however mine is wearing off (4th day today), it becomes persistent but much less intense every day. How long did yours last?

In reply to Zemira. I’ve had it for about 2 months now youvwull be better what’s I do to help is try and do normal things like still going out with friends I know it’s hard as it feels like your in a dream but it’s helps and think positive take your mind I iff it the more you think of it or even saying to your self don’t be think about it is making you think just take your mind off it watch a film or something
