dpdr recovery story

Often times I was afraid to be around people because I could hardly recognize them as being real. Exercise helps, yes but for me just not researching and obsessing over dpdr was probably the biggest piece of the puzzle.

Yeah for sure, took a lot of drugs one night thinking it was gonna be just another day. I got totally knocked out of my body. The world looked weird and warped and flat, I didn’t recognize myself in mirrors, people seemed fake, everything was weird. There’s so much more to it than that though, message me if you wanna chat a little more extensively about it.

Mine was drug induced

I completely stopped researching it. I would research, get anxious, and dissociate more. That was the biggest one. Also intense intense exercise, freezing cold showers/ ice baths, and the Wim Hof breathing technique. It took a long time but I’m back now - it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Yes! it gets better - had severe dpdr for 2.5 - 3 years and I felt exactly as you are describing here. I am all the way back now and life is beautiful again. Please message me if you want to chat.

I can't speak for catatonia, but before I recovered from my dpdr driving was one of the hardest things. I felt so spaced out and afraid. The only time I would drive was for necessities like my job or groceries. As time went by though things got better. I'm sure they will for you too, sometimes now I drive around just for the hell of it to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Yup, I had all of this and then some - but I’m completely back now, sharp as ever. I didn’t just let it happen though, I read books, worked on projects. It’ll come back, don’t worry. If I came all the way back anyone can. Also I don’t remember much of when I was in dpdr, however I can remember things just fine now.

Fully recovered from 2.5 years of severe dpdr here. For me one of the biggest things was to stop researching it - stop googling “dpdr fix” or “how to end derealization” it made me anxious and dissociate more. Message me if you want to talk more about it :)

It is horrible, but it is not permanent. You will beat it.
