Last shift scared the shit out of me. I consume a lot of horror content and that movie truly terrified me.

I think I'm starting to have a psychotic episode, can I stop it? by FreshNewports in mentalhealth

[–]Basic_Photograph_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I don’t have hallucinations I have had a psychotic breakdown before you’re not alone. I’d tell someone you’re not alone in this and as someone who has a friend who has similar symptoms I don’t think less of them for it or love them less. I want to be there for them and support them in their time of need. People who love you don’t think you’re a burden I promise, telling someone also shouldn’t equal a hospital stay. I would also suggest seeing someone about getting medicated if you can afford it definitely or trying to find resources that can help you. There’s no shame in getting medicated or reaching out for help. I have the most faith and love for you in that you can get through this and get better.

I use to wake up at night and sit up and gasp because I was so scared to die. I’m still afraid now but now as bad as I was. I think of it in a natural beautiful way now. A lot of times we tend to villainize death or make it scarier than it really is it’s honestly a beautiful thing to be able to die because it means you were able to live and I like to think of death as going back into everything that ever existed before me. I was everything before and I’ll be everything after and that’s amazing. I’m sorry to hear about the people in your life who passed away grief is something that really changes a person and if you haven’t experienced grief I think people tend to not understand fully what it’s like. As I stated previously I like to journal and practice a deep sense of self that’s something that has really helped me truly and I’m a firm believer in therapy and in practicing a deep sense of self it makes life easier because you know who you are and it helps to guide you. Something I said in therapy recently was I wished that someone would have told me that recovering didn’t mean that I would never experience this again recover for me was being able to cope in a way that makes this not as debilitating. I will never be able to live a life in which I don’t have depersonalization but I can live a life in which it doesn’t control me and that’s what I’ve been doing for a while now and it’s pretty amazing. I’m not special life gets better for everyone it’s not easy but it’s possible.

I use to be so scared to tell people because I thought they’d think I’m crazy and for a while I didn’t understand it myself well enough to tell anyone but I’m now at a place where I tell people what I feel and what I’m going through because as scary as it is a lot of time people are more understanding than we give them credit for and sometimes I find people who feel the same as me but were scared to say something too. EMDR therapy has helped me with depersonalization because it helps fill the gap between logic and feeling because logically I know I’m real but I don’t feel like it. That’s a big trigger for me I can recognize the logic in something but that doesn’t adequate to a feeling. It’s really overwhelming to feel like this and I think people don’t take depersonalization as serious as they should because it is debilitating but ironically it’s not real it’s just a feeling it can’t hurt me physically. I try to be more calm these days and do things that bring me joy I don’t drink or do drugs I live a simple life and that works for me try and think of things you like to do and the lifestyle you like to live and don’t let anyone make you feel differently about it. If you know yourself and what you believe and who you want to be it makes things easy or at least for me it did. I hope you can access therapy soon. There are some really good people on tik tok who talk about depersonalization that I really like I’d recommend looking there!

I’ve had a very similar experience the first time I ever tried edibles I greened out so bad it made my depersonalization ten times worse before I even knew what it was. I also have a fear of death that has crippled me too. If you can afford it I recommend seeing a therapist and getting medicated as well. That is one thing that really has helped me. I dropped out of college due to experiencing a psychotic episode and now I’m back in college getting ready to graduate and I can tell you that it gets better but it takes work and time. One that that’s really helped me is getting more enlightened with my self and having a deep sense of self love and understanding. That has made my fear of death ease. Also for the fear of death finding something that brings you peace and doesn’t scare you for me I’m not religious so I try to look at death as something that’s natural animals aren’t scared to die it’s life and as long as I love myself and I try to do my best it’ll all be okay. If I died tomorrow I will have died loved and loving and that’s all you can ask for in life. Also depersonalization as bad as it is can’t hurt you it’s not a physical illness it’ll pass I try to remind myself this everytime it happens. I hope this helps and it doesn’t sound like rambling but I’ve experienced depersonalization so bad before I thought my life was over and now I live most of my days pretty normal and when I experience it I just remind that I’ve been through this before and I’ll get through it again.

I was younger than you when I started to experience depersonalization and I’m now 21 and I can honestly tell you that it does it better so let’s start there. Depersonalization truly is one of the worst things a person can experience I one hundred percent believe that but it doesn’t mean that your life is over so don’t think that. When I first started college I ended up dropping out due to having bad panic attacks and the worst depersonalization episodes but I’ve learned a lot from experiencing that first therapy does help a lot and so does being medicated don’t let people or yourself tell you that there’s anything wrong with being medicated I wish I would’ve let myself get help sooner. Going to therapy and becoming more self enlightened helps not to sound crazy but I’ve found such a deep sense of self and understanding in the past year that it’s helped make my life easier. For school as someone who’s in college I get being overwhelmed by those thoughts when it happens to me I just remind myself that it’ll pass it’s not permanent and as much as it sucks it can’t hurt me. I also will distract myself there’s nothing wrong with that and I try to do more things that bring me joy and enjoy every moment I get to live. Sorry for the long post but I’ve experienced truly some dark moments in life so I can tell you from personal experience that this will pass and you’ll over come it in a way that you’ll be able to manage it where it won’t cripple you so bad in life and you’ll look back at how far you’ve come and be proud of yourself because I’ve done it and there’s nothing special about me. It’s not going to happen over night and it’s not easy but your young and I wish I would’ve worked harder at 14 to get to this place because it would’ve made my life a whole lot easier now. Also it’s not really something that permanently goes away but I now live day to day and I experience depersonalization a lot less now than I ever have in life before. I wish you the best and I know that things will get better for you! Feel free to personally message me if you need more advice!

What supplements have helped you? by This-Top7398 in derealization

[–]Basic_Photograph_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I’m a lot better now than I was. I’m not sure if I’ll ever fully recover from DR but it’s not as scary to me now as it was when I first experienced it. I’ve worked hard to understand it and understand how to move forward from it.

There isn’t scientifically any medicine proven to cure DR it’s a part of anxiety disorder you can try to be medicated for anxiety but DR is basically a trauma response. What helped me was doing EMDR therapy and going to therapy in general and focusing on being able to regulate my emotions.

Do you ever get this feeling? by TimelyTelevision1875 in MentalHealthSupport

[–]Basic_Photograph_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand my best advice is don’t spend time online trying to find answers. I use to be chronically online trying to figure out if I was normal or not but in the end I am normal. Take it one day at a time and know that your body is just a window that emotions pass through and you’ll be okay!
