News of Depersonalization Disorder Forum

Ill start off when it first occurred...I was in pyschology class in high school when I was 16 and all of a sudden it was like I blinked and I was dreaming. Everything was blurry and I felt completely dreamlike. I told my friends next to me what was happening and they made fun of it of course. So this continued happening the next couple of days and I would leave and drive home because ...

Feels like I can't think or I'm forgetful plus my speech isn't as clear and I'm not as articulate. My vision is weird like it's blurry and peoples eyes look really shiny to me. I feel I'm zone out and if I'm talking to someone in front of me I find it very easily to block out people that are beside me.

I sometimes find it easy to block out people when they talk because ...

A few days ago, I looked at myself in my bedroom mirror and couldn't stop staring into my eyes. They looked so strange and unlike mine. It was as if I were evil or possessed. My weak smile looked more sinister than anything, and I actually frightened myself. As I moved around, it was as if someone else were standing on the other side of the mirror attempting to mimic my movements. They didn't seem ...

I am so hooked on American sitcoms that I can't even imagine my day without watching 3-4 episodes per day?

Do you think that there is anything wrong with it?

Okay so I'm 16 and female,
I've been smoking marijuana for about a year, only once or twice a month and I was fine every time, until about 2 months ago when I had a bad trip. It wasn't really horrible, but I felt like I was fading away and I got pretty freaked out and just wanted it to stop. The next time I smoked it happened again but I told myself to to ...

So...
This brain-paralyzing illness, this unforgiving hole in my head that feels as if liquid blank-white snow is smothering and numbing the inside core of it, has been destroying all the life I have in me. My mind is thoughtless and incoherent, and it has been this way for 6 years now. I am going to be entirely honest and say it actually maimed me my entire life, it affecting my actions, affecting my barely-thriving ...

I've been reading up on maladaptive daydreaming and saw that many of the pages/articles said there was a connection between Dissociative disorders and daydreamers (MD and FPP or just extreme fantasizers).

Do any of you have a problem with daydreaming? Do you get lost in it, find that you daydream excessively, sometimes become confused, act things out like rocking back and forth, making expressions or sound, talking, rolling around?

It's become harder to keep myself ...

Hi,
I am new here and wondered if anyone else with these symptoms here has had a history of ritual abuse. (in my case specifically Satanic Ritual Abuse.)It began quit suddenly when I was not 16, the depersonalization/derealization symptoms along with frequent horrific nightmares. I thought I was losing my mind. I thought I would lose all contact with reality. It was very scary. It would induce panic attacks as well..Through years of therapy and ...

For the last year I have felt very empty, I don't care for anything anymore, family, friends, my pets, even my hobbies. Nothing I do gets me motivated or excited anymore.
Coming to this forum is basically a last resort because everything that I've tried hasn't changed the way I feel. I've tried doing new things out of the norm, forcing myself to go out with friends. I've been to about 6 different doctors and ...

It seems like a common theme for a lot us that panic attacks lead to DP disorder. I know in the winter months I suffered several attacks, before the onset of DP. I suffered (and still do) from extreme levels of constant anxiety about my personal health. I have for so long felt terminally ill. The doctors never found much other than infectious mononucleosis. Yet months and months later, here I am. Still run down ...
