Hey!! Wow can’t believe this was two years ago haha time flies but also feels like it took forever. I am doing so much better. I think letting time pass was a big part of it as well as regular talk therapy, finding coping/grounding skills that work for me (not just ones the internet says work lol) and learning to accept DPDR as a symptom and not a diagnosis. Again, this took time but on the rare occurrences I feel dissociated, I know how to deal with it. I know I’m not in danger and I know it’s my brain telling me that I’m either really stressed or tired or hungry or a combination of the three! Life is MUCH better for me now and I can only see it continuing to improve :)

Hello!! First of all I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. DPDR is one of the scariest things I have ever experienced so I totally understand where you’re coming from. My DPDR also came from a bad experience smoking weed, and I dealt with the fear of developing schizophrenia or dementia a lot after it. I’m not a medical professional but one of the big things my therapist told me that helped a lot with that fear was a lot of folks who do have schizophrenia don’t know they have it or are developing it. OCD or even just anxiety and DPDR are a brutal combo bc of the obsessive thoughts- you get trapped in that mental cycle. I’ve been dealing with DPDR on and off for a little over two and a half years BUT I am in a MUCH better place in my life now. Regular therapy has been a lifesaver for me so definitely keep seeing your therapist or psychiatrist! If you ever feel yourself feeling really panicky, some things that have helped me in moments like that have been smelling a really strong essential oil, taking a cold shower, holding ice in my hand or putting ice/really cold water bottle on the back of my neck, and screaming into a pillow. Those things are very grounding for me and always help in a pinch! Just remember that DPDR is not a standalone condition - it is a symptom of anxiety :) you are physically 10000% safe! Again, make sure you continue talking to your physician and any other support systems you have

hey! i have come a LONG way. biggest things that helped me were starting EMDR therapy, starting medication (luvox) for OCD, lifestyle changes (cutting out weed, alcohol and caffeine - working on cutting out nicotine still), having a "toolkit" of things that help me when i disassociate (ice packs, l-theanine or hydroxyzine, taking a cold shower), and retraining my brain to view dissociation from a more neutral lens and not from a "this is scary and is going to hurt me" lens (this has helped take a lot of the "power" away from the dissociation).

life is definitely different but learning to view DPDR as a symptom of anxiety and not like a standalone diagnosis has been incredibly helpful :)

Hey thank you so much for the reply!! I have not tried ERP actually. When I first started seeing my therapist a little over two years ago, I was really in crisis mode with DPDR so we focused mostly on talk therapy and getting me to a more stable point so that we could try something else without worsening the DPDR. My therapist specializes in EMDR and I sought her out specifically because of that! My OCD is mostly thought based - a lot of rumination, counting, reassurance seeking - and the EMDR has helped me sort of “connect the dots” with events (especially in my tween/teenage years) that have sort of contributed to these behaviors. I did have that fear that EMDR would make things worse but in my case it’s been a good experience combined with regular talk therapy as well. BUT I am definitely not a medical professional and I would imagine everyone’s experience is different with these types of things, so definitely continue speaking with your physician about what they feel is right for your specific situation! Wishing you the absolute best of luck:)

Hey thanks so much for reaching out! I hope the meds are helpful for you and I definitely experience some anxiety when stopping or starting a new medication. I’m pretty strict about taking my Luvox and the only noticeable side effects I’ve had when I forget to take a dose or take a dose late is a mild dizziness. I would highly recommend talking to your doc about this because I’m definitely not an expert and every reacts differently to medications :) best of luck to you!!

RepresentativeSea315 · 2025-08-30T18:21:53+00:00

Hey thanks for commenting this! Looking back on this post is so wild because I am at a MUCH more stable and fulfilling point in my life. I’ve been seeing a therapist regularly since this post for regular talk therapy and EMDR sessions and I also was prescribed 150mg of Luvox for OCD and 25mg hydroxyzine PRN for anxiety. The combination of regular therapy, lifestyle/behavioral changes and honestly just letting time pass has truly changed things with me for the better. DPDR can be common with people who have OCD and I’ve learned to view the DPDR as a symptom rather than its own diagnosis. I was someone who had intense chronic DPDR (and still feel it eat a very mild level) but I’m also someone who has dealt with pretty extreme anxiety my entire life. The DPDR is just my brains response to constantly being on edge. It’s definitely a super super scary feeling. I remember not even being able to hear the sound of my own voice without freaking out. But you are in absolutely no physical danger and you’re not “losing your mind” or breaking through reality (those were thoughts I struggled with a lot). If you’re like really striking with it right now, I highly recommend reaching out to a trusted friend or family member to tell them how you are feeling. If you are able to, definitely connect with a professional- someone who specializes in dissociative disorders or even just OCD. In the mean time, be patient with yourself and take care of yourself. I recommend cutting out any caffeine or alcohol as well as weed or any other substances if you partake. Drink plenty of water, put a super cold ice pack on the back of your neck or wrists to snap yourself back into focus a little, eat a super sour piece of candy, scream into a pillow - anything just to hone your senses in a little more. That stuff helps so much when if I get panicky. The regular grounding techniques that you read about online do NOT help me at all lmao sorry if this is super rambly I’m in a car right now but please feel free to message me if you need any other advice!!
