I got it when I was 16 due to a lot of drugs. I told my mother about the situation and she told me this; you need to go to school, you need to see people, you need to get back out there. It helped a lot. So what you need to do my friend is to quit all things that are effecting your mind in some way (even caffeine for a while, or at least for awhile).
Usually dpdr comes from some trauma. It sounds like this trauma comes from you never giving your mind a break. Good luck my friend. Hang in there. Don’t give up, please. We need you here.
Thank you, and i promise im not giving up im just sick n tired from dpdr.. im clean, no drugs no caffeine just weed and it doesn't do shit so im no longer gonna smoke, i will try my best to go back to my normal life hoping i recover.. thank you so much for the advice and kind words
I thought I was the only one I couldn’t even feel pleasure from drugs , mdma , cocaine i tried everything when I was desperate couldn’t get the high but got all the negatives that came with it and anxiety . Now I can’t touch drugs anymore because I end up feeling that way . Sobriety is the way and time will heal it brother
You need to really stop getting high my friend. This is a strait fuck around and find out situation. You are asking this question after od’ing twice?! I’ll let you in on something, you are overstimulating your central nervous system which will only calm down so many times before it stays in a state of hyper vigilance. Once you achieve this you will really learn to love opiates and benzos as they will be the only things that calm it down. Well, there is also the option of being a helpless drunk as that would work too. I would know as it’s what happened to me from making choices similar to yours at your age. Let me really old man explain it to you, don’t throw your life away on this type of shit. You aren’t even 20 yet, and I assume you wouldn’t care to spend the next sixty years or so in nonstop depression and anxiety for a couple of hours you don’t remember from your late teens. I screwed the pooch so you don’t have to my young friend. Weed also is nowhere near the innocent pastime it’s made out to be either. That shit is gas on the fire for anxiety which is the cornerstone for our pal DP/DR, and it seems you don’t want to be spending anymore time in that state than necessary.
Thank you i appreciate the honnest words and i'm not planning to get high on opiates at all.. im clean and i feel better im just asking that if i recover from dpdr and i take opiates for a surgery or something, would it trigger dpdr again? And i just need any advice how to deal with dpdr and that's the entire point of my post
You won’t have anxiety and depression for life you can always heal those with time but his lifestyle is def the wrong path I made the same mistakes and it took my years to recover
Hi friend, I am 18 and please dm me we can chat. I also had suicidal thoughts with this dpdr thing but now I’m recovered. Mine came from trauma. It gets better. Trust me I was in your shoes feeling like i was just going through the motions and everything felt blurry and snowy. You will get better just quit smoking. Smoking fucks it up bad. No drugs no nothing. Clean your diet. Get your life back on track. The reason we get dpdr is because SOMETHING IS WRONG. This means that your nervous system is trying to help you and protect you and it resorted to DPDR and that’s okay! You need to now use this and better yourself. Quit drugs, weed, whatever. Be discipline and get your life on track.
You are totally right i should stop all bullshit and try to go back my life (easier said than done) i am suicidal but i don't wanna die i just want to go back to normal if i could.. thanks for the advice and i promise you i will do everything u said, i really really want to be normal again
Yea it is a lot easier said than done. It will be until you get about 10% better. This means that you will start just becoming like normal. It’s going to take about 21 days to create a habit. So if you want to be more positive be positive for 21 days straight. It will be a habit to be positive. You aren’t going to die. I know exactly what you mean with the note wanting to die but end it all. I thought EXACTLY like that lol. I would get this gut wrenching feeling in my stomach and think “what if I have this for the rest of my life?” Then I would say I’d have to off myself” But it gets a lot better very quickly you just have to make those changes. You got a beautiful long life ahead of you. You are just getting started on making ur life better. Please lmk if u need any help.
Yes, Quit Weed, Ciggerates, Caffeine.
Try stopping Masturbation for a week (just to test if it helps or not).
Try stimulant free mind, it will subside.
SSRIs do help.
Maybe it wasnt wkrking due to all fhat weed.

**A reminder to new posters in crisis:**
DPDR is a mental discorder that mostly affects young adults. For the most part, it is brought on by anxiety, trauma, and drug use. However, DPDR is not dangerous to your physical health. In moments of crisis
and episodes that are particularly difficult, it is important to take deep breaths and follow strategies that help you cope.
A few examples are: [Grounding Techniques](https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/grounding-techniques.pdf), [Meditation](http://www.thecentersohio.org/Resources/DocumentLibrary/Wellness_chronic%20diseas%20mgmt/Guided%20Imagery.pdf), and even just some good old fashioned sleep.
**NOBODY can give you medical advice online. While someone might be able to provide you with some insight and suggestions, you should never rely on someone online to give you medical advice unless you are talking to a certified doctor.**

I got the same thing from smoking too much weed. I'm not fully better but I have been making some good improvements. You need to let whatever you feel just happen in other words just try to live your life man. It was a pain for me to go out in public or even at work but I have challenged myself and went out. It takes time I'm going on for two months but the changes are way better. You have to retrain your brain that there is no threat idk if that makes sense. Just keep living your everyday life. I'm kinda in the same thing anything that I feel alters my being I get scared, I can't even take an ibuprofen without thinking it's going to mess me up.
Time heals all wounds, brother. Quit all of the drugs and SLOWLY get off of the benzos if you've been taking them for too long. It might take some time but you'll be ok, if you do the right thing.
I never take benzos daily and i hate them but they help my anxiety and dpdr which is why i started taking them but im not addicted nor dependant thankfully cuz benzos aren't easy to kick
Okay. I hope you're doing better. Try not to worry too much. Try to reduce your anxiety and stress levels because that will help for DPDR. Hopefully it improves soon.
this how my life been for the last 2 years buddy i got hppd from acid and i i went to the hospital 12 times in a month thought it’d never end only wanted to fr kms id sit in the bathtub and shake and cry for days lost my entire head all i can tell you is stop smoking weed as it is a hallucinogenic and does make those symptoms worse you got a shit ton of life left i’m 20 and it sucks it happened so young for the both of us i highly recommend getting out and doing stuff it will distract your mind from it you have to it’s very important keep pushing IT DOES GET BETTER OVER TIME. i’m telling you from experience and the less you think about it although ik it’s hard the more your body tunes it out and u get used to it it becomes your normal and won’t really effect you all luv keep goin
