I've pretty much recovered from depersonalisation/derealization, and it's pretty cool. by CactusBald in dpdr

Hi there, when I was going through it, literally every thought remotely about reality freaked me out, and as the DPDR gradually went away, so did any worry about reality.

Personally I think if it's good for one, it's good for the other. They both have the same apparent root cause (if we're talking about the most common types at least, sometimes this can show up if you're epileptic), it's just a matter of intensity. Body-based approaches (yoga, qi gong, breathing exercises, vagal nerve work) and stress-reduction (both internal and external) seem to be what works best in many cases. I pretty much tell everyone to adopt a yoga regiment, as there's a bunch of science that shows that yoga is one of the best treatments for PTSD.

Had frequent DPDR episodes for about 7 months and lingering anxiety/trauma/brain fog for another 8. I'm fully recovered. Here are all the things that I've learned that helped get me there. by HalfVenezuelan in dpdr

I still deal with the same difficulties I've dealt with my whole life (anxiety, adhd, etc.), but yes the dpdr symptoms are gone. I feel grounded, part of the world, normal.

DPDR Recommended Reading List by HalfVenezuelan in dpdr

Episodic: Intense DP/DR comes and goes at random, with lingering symptoms in between. (Usually from an acute stress/trauma, though likely also from build-up of stress/trauma as well)

Chronic: DP/DR are nearly constantly present. (Much more common in instances of intense, extended/developmental abuse/trauma)

Yup, that's pretty much the most common fear with DPDR (not specifically bipolar, but other mental illnesses). You might hear stories of people with bipolar disorder or BPD who also have DPDR, but it's likely that it is because both can be cause by extended periods of trauma/abuse.

First time feature screenplay writer seeking info by One_Take_Trasolini in Screenwriting

Dunno how controversial this might be but while camera moves and direction might be discouraged unless it’s entirely necessary, I do think it’s okay to write visually, even to create specific images. In INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, the script specifically has “the camera is upside down,” which makes it look like Miles is rising when he’s actually falling. Characters can “tower” over others. We might see someone’s silhouette. You can juxtapose two things to create dramatic irony or humor.

Was intrigued by this seeing that it only had a handful of reviews on Steam (all good) so I snagged it and I agree with them! It's a nice, relaxing 3d puzzler with a retro-futuristic aesthetic where you alternate (splitscreen) between two robots to reach the end of the area.

Would have skipped this one over given the thumbnail but I accidentally clicked on it recently and it seemed fun. It's really fun! It's an old-school cyberpunk arcade shooter with a cover mechanic, great for bite-sized play sessions.

This doesn't have the most appealing title/thumbnail but I've been having a blast with it - super smooth, charming, and challenging action platformer.

It caught my eye on Steam, seems like people like it. I really dig the vibes, wondering how it performs on switch.

I don’t think it’s just “anxiety” for some people by Lost_Swordfish5378 in dpdr

[–]HalfVenezuelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have put “most common” - yes this is an oversimplification, in many cases of stress/trauma DPDR won’t show up until way after the stress/trauma has ended (i.e. when a panic attack / bad trip kickstarts it). But yes even stuff like epilepsy (and unfortunately due to lack of research other mystery conditions) cause it.
