[VALANCE]

Can someone explain this to me in laymens terms?? I'm on my phone and not in a situation I can watch a video??

[DanBBz]

Mad feels were felt. Dude has a dope voice and flow. Listened to some of the AOTP stuff with him in it and they all kill it.

yeah they're all dope it's a shame they let Stoupe go

not clicking on this video and further infecting my mind so that I can't sleep because then I'll end up thinking about this for the next year about how it affects me and how I should overcome it.

Reading is even worse when my imagination gets the best of me. Movies are even worse.

Damn I really feel for you man, a lot of sufferers comments on the video said it's actually helped them though.

feeling disconnected from one's physicality; feeling as though one is not completely occupying the body; not feeling in control of one's speech or physical movements; feeling detached from one's own thoughts or emotions; a sense of automation, going through the motions of life but not experiencing it or participating in it; loss of conviction with one's identity; feeling a disconnection from one's body; inability to accept one's reflection as one's own; difficulty relating oneself to reality and the environment; feeling as though one is in a dream; and out-of-body experiences.

In a sentence, you feel disconnected from yourself and the world.

[Superkid2]

from reading the description on wiki I think I've felt like that a few times in my life...when I was a young child and the comedown when I used to do E....must suck if that feeling happens constantly

came in expecting something different

[AirWar]

OP I have this all the time
I remember trying to explain it to people when I was younger. They thought I was crazy
Then I remember finding out about DP/DR and feeling relieved
Then I remember reading how little is known/nothing you can do about it

Stop taking drugs.

He's wrong about meditation/mindfulness practice. It's most difficult when you are in rough spots, but it actually makes all the difference in the world with effort.

A lot of depersonalization/derealization is just the fallout of drug use/extreme stressors on your psyche/self-image/worldview. You need to see what your mind is doing before you anything can change.

[Muska28]

can definitely relate to this

i never feel like i'm here, it's always as if i'm spectating my own life

This.
I first started feeling this before I took any psychoactive drugs (Inc. caffeine/coffee). I started feeling it when I was younger and my world views did not align with what was actually happening in reality, and there was some dissonance with how everything actually worked vs how I thought it worked.
It was scary, weird feeling for a young person (Talking 13-16Years).

It gets worse with any sort of psychoactive drug use. Disconnects you further. Gets worse when you are depressed, bored and over analyze everything.

I feel like its a psychological self defense mechanism gone wrong or something.

[vidge]

inb4 all of misc has this bs

[Inclination]

it's like watching your own life through a movie screen

[DdotT]

'going through the motions but not feeling anything.'

Why is depersonalization a disorder? Do we even know that this isn't a dream?

[arniesays1]

Why is it that these disorders didn't exist 50 yrs ago?
Why is it that we're the only species on the planet to suffer such disorders?

[ComesticSurgery]

Ah so this must be like you when you're constantly watching and posting videos of aggressive black American men who you can't relate to at all? I get it now.

I just read the lyrics btw. Utter bland tripe. He would get nowhere in poetry with that.

Advancement in psychology, research on symptom clusters/patterns explains the new diagnostic criteria

Our neocortex, self-awareness, and ego is what gives us issues other species don't have.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what depersonalization disorder is, but can someone explain how it is a bad thing? It seems like it would be pretty much completely neutral. Why would that make someone depressed or want to be cured from it?

[Sinan09400]

Bipolar checking in.

this is just not fawkin fair. Why should this disease chits happen to us? I don't even know who dafuq I am. Fukk everyone and everything who is responsible for that chit. Everyday I see my friends and I envy them, cuz they are normal: I'm never fawkin normal; either over alpha who can do anything he wants, or a depressed ******* who can't stand up for anything; why? Cuz stable are for horses

Listen to the ending lines, "I don't have anything but senses and sadness" and also "have you ever been in such a fog you don't know you, never being able to do the chit you're supposed to".

Lack of engagement, motivation, and connection to what is occurring. Life essentially becomes valueless and a bit confusing/unreal feeling

[SoulTea]

When I was severely depressed in high school I felt entirely detached from myself. Looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. Felt really phucked, felt like a zombie. Not sure if it's the same as this but it wasn't fun. Fine now but thinking back on it, it was quite scary.

Now I'm on a roll with this type of hip hop haha

[WertDerFerk]

I've had a few episodes of depersonalization disorder, it usually happens from the times I get high and last a couple days. It's a scary feeling. You almost forget who you are.

[threeoneg]

I've struggled with this at various points in my life. It's pretty fukin terrible...
I work in forestry, brb, climb up a 60ft tree and all of a sudden chit gets real and it feels like you're in a movie.

So basically people with depersonalization disorder feel emotionally numb all the time, and they lack motivation? Maybe I'm just being stupid here, but it really doesn't sound like a big deal at all and certainly not something anyone should medicate for. I'm going to look into it some more. I must be missing something.
