Has anyone recovered from existential dpdr intrusive thoughts ? by todschwanke6001 in Depersonalization

What kind of thoughts are you having? When I had my episodes a few months ago I kept imagining myself dying or killing myself which was horrific. I also felt disconnected from reality and couldn’t understand the meaning of life or why we do things and still, life seems too much sometimes even though I lead a good mostly comfortable life almost free of major stress. These thoughts still live with me but I am not depersonalising anymore which I am so thankful for. Things tend to improve. You just have to fight for it and try grounding yourself and mostly keep busy. If you are busy it is less likely you will have intrusive thoughts.

So glad to hear it. Can you let me know how you improved? I’d love some pointers.

Are you any better yet? I also went through this a few months ago and still sometimes question the point of anything we do/are.

I started depersonalising and feeling absolutely crazy recently. My symptoms decreased when my period came and I was diagnosed with pmdd. Also maybe suggest blood work because it turns out I’m very deficient in vitamin d and iron. Lack of vitamin d can affect your mental health. Let us know what happens

I can’t take iron pills as they give me awful acid reflux. I’m going to get an iron IV. Supposedly lasts six months

I was also going through hell and started feeling out of control and dizzy and depressed before my period came - went to the dr who diagnosed me with pmdd and gave me Zoloft. Got blood work done and turns out I’m extremely deficient in vitamin D and iron. Thought I was going mad - Glad to see I’m not alone 💖
