HOW LONG THIS IRREALITY SENSATION WILL TAKE?

Many testimonies from people suffering this disorder suggest a trauma or a situation of lasting stress as the origin of the problem. Many others indicate drugs, in particular smoking weed/cannabis as the trigger of a DP/DR stroke.

 

The duration of this situation is undetermined. Brain is a very complex organ. It will depend on the determination to solve the problem actively, through exercises.

 

This disorder is frustrating due to the fact that even when the reasons which motivated the DP/DR attack have disappeared the brain does not come back to a normal state by itself, different symptoms as irreality and confusion about personality can last many time: months, years, decades,...

 

If you simply do nothing about it, in the worst case will become a permanent state.

 

So, it is crucial to make everyday the proposed exercises to reduce the time of recovery and bring back to a normal life.



A DEFINITION FOR DP/DR DISORDER

From my understanding, based on my own experience, dp/dr is an anomaly or mental disorder from which (1) the information collected from our senses (vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste) is not properly processed (derealization) and (2) this info cannot reach our EGO, ourselves, and is not incorporated to our personal story anymore (depersonalization)

 

Both symptoms are directly related each other, so it is common to talk about DP/DR as a whole:

1. Derealization consist on perceiving the world as distant, rare, distorsionated, more grey, more plane. You can feel you are not completely in this world. For example, when walking your feet move almost involuntarely, without control, in an automatic way, robotized. Your body is a foreign to you, separated from you mind. What you can perceive doesn't mean anything for YOU.
2. Depersonalization is the sensation of having lost YOURSELF, literally. It is difficult recognizing yourself. It is hard to observe your face on the mirror. Who is this that is looking me? You can not remember easily your life before the attack of DP/DR. You lack preferences, tastes, favourite things... things that before can bring you emotions, now they don't do it. You are unable to understand the relationships with others, you are not comfortable treating people. Even your family seem strangers for you. You have lost your personality.



HAVE I GOT DP/DR?

 

Have you just discovered through the Internet that the mental anomaly you may be suffering is called depersonalization or derealization?

(DP/DR)

Do you feel that you cannot find YOURSELF?

That everything means nothing for YOU

Do you see everything around you, strange, different?

Are you feeling hard to perceive emotions as the way you did before?

Are you watching yourself doing things like a robot, in an automatic way?

Have you lost your illusions, aims, objetives in life?

Is it difficult for you to remember, to connect with your former yourself?

When you are around many people... do you feel confused, unsecured, missing?

When you had to go to the doctor, did you feel misunderstood?

Time, duration of hours, days,... is confusing for you?

Everything around you is more grey, more distant, it seems you see through a veil

Have you lost the ability of concentration?, and etcetera...

 

If you have answered the previous questions in the afirmative ... maybe your diagnosis is right. Perhaps you are suffering this mental disorder, not very important by itself but very annoying called depersonalization and/or derealization.

 

My intention writing these pages is helping you to get over this disorder from my own experience. I suffered DP/DR for many years, I have understood it and, the most important issue, I know the keys to recover your life through a complete list of easy and concrete exercises.
