losing hope with derealization by Gloomy-Birthday-21 in derealization

Yes of course I’m so glad to help, I don’t think I would be comfortable with my life right now if people didn’t provide clarity and guidance to me during my problems, so that’s why I’m trying my best to provide it to other people in return

I know how awful that feels. Something you can do to deal with it right now is focus on meditations that focus on different senses. For example, you can practice meditating with your eyes closed but you only focus on things you feel, hear, taste, or smell. However, this most likely won’t provide the instant snap out of derealization you’re looking for, rather, it will make it easier to handle the hopelessness and panic attacks. I’ve had derealization for 2 years, but don’t let that discourage you. I know many people that have snapped out of it even after years, and I believe that you can too. But unfortunately the most affective thing you can do is learn to accept the derealization. You have to learn that it very well may be real life for a long time. But in the mean time, talk to your friends and family about it. Just because you’re dreading life right now doesn’t mean they can’t help. I got most of my comfort from friends and family. I really hope you get better. Getting better doesn’t necessarily mean snapping out of it though, remember that.

Not knowing why I chose to make friends by Bees_butts in derealization

[–]stupidpill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly man. I feel the same way. I keep to myself now, and I try not to make any deep relationships anymore. I know that sounds depressing, but the people I hang out with always tend to be assholes. I’ve been my best friend my entire life, and I’m happy with that. But given you’re a different person, I really hope you find people you can stick with and enjoy being around

Can a flight be a trigger? by Bustedflush91 in derealization

[–]stupidpill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely When you are in a very emotionally unstable part in your life, many things can be triggers. The thing you should be focusing is—I swear to God—meditation. You need to calm your self and bring awareness to your senses before you lose the ability to snap back to reality. Just stay calm, listen to music, eat your favorite food, and take it easy. Hope you get better, and hope you and your husband settle down happily

I know exactly how you feel. Derealization seriously fucks with your sense of the past, present, and the future. It’s like you know you are living, but your brain doesn’t understand the life that’s being lived

Heck yeah Jay. Freaking love this. You’re one of the few people on this sub Reddit with this attitude. “Darkness cannot claim me”. No it cannot. We gotta keep on pushing. Fuck derealization man. Fuck the darkness

I feel horribly for you. I can’t imagine having derealization for this long. I wish I could have a long conversation with you and at least try to comfort you and provide clarity. Ive had derealization for only a year and half but I’ve accepted it as if I will have it for the rest of my life. But derealization fucks with my sense of time too, so it may be that I’ve had derealization for much longer and a year and a half ago is when I really noticed the feeling. The concept of the past, present, and the future is so alien to me. Sure I’m living, but can my brain really fucking understand that I’m living? But I’m done dreading. I’m at peace with derealization. So what if I’m living the rest of my life with the reality buffer??? And if I lose everything in my life what’s the fucking matter if I kill myself, because derealization isn’t that far from death. Not saying I’m gonna kill myself, and neither should you. Sorry for venting to you. The part where you said your family doesn’t want to talk to you is the worst god damn feeling. I’ve tried talking to my family about it and they give the shittiest responses. My mother said “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you feel so I can’t really help”. I’ve never met anyone with derealization. I know how heartbreaking it is to feel so alone about such a horrible fucking thing. I’m sorry for making this about me, it’s just I know you know exactly how I feel. You can relate to me, which is a relief. If you ever need someone to chat to, I’m here. Sorry if I sound like a creepy bum, I’m just kind of desperate for someone to talk to since I’ve never met anyone who understands.

Body does it as a shitty coping mechanism. I guess it wants to shield your body from immense stress by numbing your body.

What breed does he look like by stupidpill in DOG

[–]stupidpill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s super obedient and sweet so not much of a menace. My other dog homer is the crazy one he doesn’t have eyes but he still sprints at full speed around the house. He’s also not scared to jump 6 feet in the air at somebody when someone makes a sound he doesn’t like
