Depersonalisation and Derealisation
Explaining Depersonalisation and Derealisation disorder, they are parts of some Anxiety disorders. The issues are not discussed enough and many people (including me until recently) live with these disorders without a clue. Life with these disorders is scary, confusing, and suffocating, I am glad that I now know what is wrong with me, it comforts me to know its just my anxiety and nothing worse! xx

…basically I've given up coffee, tea, chocolate, fizzy drinks, anything with caffeine in it. At first it's really hard, especially waking up at 5am for work every morning without a coffee but now I've never felt so clear in my life its amazing. Seriously, if you use caffeine to feel clearer or to wake up like I did I would say stop for a few months and see what happens -not sure if its just me that it would work for

I had depersonalisation for about two/three years, recently I went on holiday & didn't feel depersonalised at all. I didn't have coffee for the whole time of the holiday so felt really tired(yet still clear, I drank so much coffee to make me actually do stuff) on the beach they sold coffee so I brought my 1st coffee of the week and then about an hour later I felt so trippy it was unreal I felt like I was going to die. I haven't had CAFFEINE for two months now and DP has TOTALLY gone its amazing
Hey, my name is Aaron. I'm 18. I've been going through the same thing for the past 2-3 months. I've never done drugs / anything like that so I'm positive it's from anxiety. I go through these spirals of unreality. Time seems to slip away and I don't feel a part of it anymore. I feel separate from it all. Everything feels so foreign and strange. I'm reading "stranger to myself", it's a great book about depersonalization. hope you get better!

@aqualv Thankyou for commenting, Im so sorry to hear that you went through this, it really can be terrifying! Nobody seems to know anything about this, I quickly found out that none of my friends had ever heard of this, I felt like an idiot trying to explain what was wrong with me. Awareness needs raising about these disorders!

Thank you for making this video. A few months ago I had a derealization episode that was extremely intense. It was one of the scariest moments and I too felt like harming myself during this. Nobody in my life understands how it felt and how scared I was. I want to thank you for bringing awareness to these disorders.
