i'm scared that my depersonalization wont go away

hi, i dont know if you got my last message because i hadnt had an account yet? about the anxious depersonalzation shizzle....

kisses

Pot makes some people very paranoid. Maybe you should stay away from it for awhile, and see if this problem gets any better. Even if you've done it for a long time, it could start affecting you differently. Just like getting a food allergy to something you've eaten all your life. Ya know? If you tend to be a little paranoid already, then pot will prob make it worse. If you're thinking that everyone it's talking bad about you, it may be paranoia, anxiety, depression or low self esteem or some or all 4 combined. I think you should speak to a therapist. They've seen and heard all kind of stuff like what you may be going thru.

Well I have since my 19s and I am 27 and didnt pass. sigh

Panda123,
You know what it sort of sounds like to me? Social phobia. I have had this since at least age 20, but had never been to a psychiatrist. Actually, I thought psychiatrists were for weak people, and I absolutely refused to go to one. But when I was 28 I had to do something! I was so, so depressed, but at the time I din't even realize it. But you know what? I was so relieved to know there was a name for what was going on with me. There is hope. Please don't give up. A therapist gives you someone you can talk to, just talk, and know it will never be repeated to your friends, enemies, family, coworkers, etc. I just want you to know you can turn to someone, and that will not mean you are weak. Therapists help with emotional issues. Psychiatrists are for mental illness, not always permanent, just like a Primary Care Physician talks to you when you are physically sick. Sometimes you get better, sometimes it is life long, but either way you learn how to cope with the illness.

I had to make an account thank you do much for putting a smile on my face and giving me hope

I have had this for 3 months and all the detachment is gone but I still feel like I'm not myself at all. I feel like I have no clue who I am. Can u help me with this? I have totally re trained my brain and have done everything to ignore it but the me isn't clicking. Any suggestions? Thx so much.

Please see professional help. If you want to get better you have to try and get better and get out there and get help. Best of luck!!!

I feel the exact same way.

I've had it for two years. I'm thirteen now.

I hope you're feeling better by now.

Please contact me ,I need to speak with someone who has this.

What is your email?

hey,guys i am almost 15 and i have all the symptoms of depersonalizatio since i fall in love with a girl about 9 or 10 months ago.but she is with another guy all this period.know she is the same class as me and i watch her evrey moment and i cannot take her out of my mind.also i always think about suiciede or something.in addition guys i started smokingwhen i got out rarely but i just stopped a week ago and i feel horrible because i see her everyday.i haven't siad anything to anyone and i can't.please,tell me if i have depresion or depersonalization and what to do because evrey day i kick the walls and damage my self.

Omgosh,you are feeling EXACTLYthe same as i do, literally the same symptoms and everything, i'm seeing a therapist, and i'm not going to lie, it is helping but verrry sloowly!, i am on no medication. The only times i ever feel better is forcing myself to not think about it and rely on my other to help, it took my mum and dad time to understand and they really struggled at first but now, there good, your not going mental or anything, this is just a symtom of anxiety, go to your gp, i don'thave to pay, because i'm 16 or under so neither will you, i have always ahd to be really strong for every one, so seeing a therapist helps you get out your anxiety, once you'v edone that depersonalisation goes away, just serious DO NOT carry on thinking about it, believe me i know it's hard i still slip up now, but once you realize you are, remember your strong, and just get up and go talk to someone about something else, put a film on make some food DO SOMETHING i alsked me therapist and she said it can't make you mental i took me a while top accet that but ya know... seriously don't worry you will get over it, hormones probably aren't helping either hun:) Email me if you need too i love when i realise other people feel like i do :)

I've been lethargic depressed and depersonalized after smoking weed. Would a little bit of cocaine start my brain up by chance and wake me up out of this brain fog?! thank you

i am just now having this. it does scare me cause im getting married and have his little girl to take of. im so scared i will never be normal again please help or tell me will help me get out of this funk

My first weeks of dealing with this and I'm already getting better. I feel it will go away, and as you guys can see from some of these posts it can take weeks, months, years. You have to prepare yourself for the long run. Being with friends, family, and for some reason being in the sun help me out. I feel it's psychological and the brain is just taking time to heal itself, if it comes in episodes that seem to last forever sometimes as it does to me, then you know you have something to live for for the moments it seems to go away. But like almost everyone said, it will go away in a long time, hopefully I get rid of it tomorrow or in a few weeks but realistically it will take time. Stay away from stressful situations and call me it helps to talk to someone who goes through the same thing. I have guilt behind how I got it because I got it from drug use, SPICE, some of us are just to intelligent for our own use. You see, some people are very simple minded they are hardly self aware. We intelligent people unfortunately are VERY self aware, the drugs messed with us and were aware of the damage, which is very reparable. Ill put it to you guys this way. Two weeks after feeling this and I can see improvements, the DP Is definitely going away but it comes back and sometimes that is actually the stressful part, when you manage to stay relaxed and then it comes back. My name is Elliot I am a 21 year old Marine and I will help anyone because I know how It feels to need help and not have it.
