I have had DR for 30 years and it has never gone away. Weed triggered it. My DP comes and goes but the DR is constant and no amount of alchohol or pills or even the sexy addiction it created has ever given any relief. I just keep digging a bigger hole as it destroys my life.

I had this but meditation helped me alot ... my mediation would involve saying the same word again and again on concentrating on that. I hope this willl help you or anyone in need cause it helped me a great deal. You can look up other mediation techniques as well.

I have had derealization all of my life that I can remember.  If I get really involved with talking with someone, I won't feel the world is not real for this period of time, but later it comes right back.
In the past when I got really nervous such as having to make a speech, or explains something to a group of people, I would get nervous and start shaking.  It was very embarrassing.  However, through the years, I have gotten over this most of the time, but I still feel like I am living in a dream and that nothing is real.  If I am in pain, I forget it for a while, but that is about the only time.  I feel I am not real and the world is not real.  I have never told anyone but I would like to get help now if there is any.

i have the same problem i feel like im just here and i wonder alot about anything and the feeling of if I'm real or if everything else is real its a very scary feeling but i do know for a fact it goes away because i had it when i was   a teen and i was crazy worried but eventually i jus snapped out of it and it was like the derealization never even happened and as for now i went to  doctor cuz i was stressed and the doc put me on welbutrin it actually made my stress worse and i started having panic attacks which scared the hell out of me and i guess led to the derealization returning and now i jus stay busy doing happy things and also setting goals like laundry dishes cleaning working on things iv always wanted to finish but never did these things will help relax me knowing my day was useful i feel for everyone that has this it can be hell to deal with at first but makes you understand life a little better once you relax  jus do things that help others and fight that feeling of i don't wanna do anything i jus wanna sit here because that just sitting there isn't helping anything i hope you are feeling better now i can't see when u posted the comment so this might be a response 2 years later lol

I'm so glad i found this and know i'm not the only and that i haven't completely lost my mind. I started getting it last Summer whenever i started smoking marijuana more often. I don't think that's what caused it but it may have helped make it worse. Recently i've come to a realization that i have always been like this. It started as a coping mechanism for my social anxiety. i'd just detach myself from the situation and stay in my mind but now i can't make it stop. I feel like everyone thinks i'm strange and out of it. I feel like i can't keep a conversation going. Worst of all I can't remember anything that happens/happened (even in my childhood) because i wasnt truly there in the first place. All i do constantly is fear death and stare out of a window. I try to be more social and participate but sometimes that makes it even worse and i just stress more. I no longer feel like myself. But i know we can all get through this and i will beat it! Much love to you all xx

I've been feeling strange for the past few months, when I go outside everything seems in real. I've have stopped going out and not even able to fetch or take my kids school. I've not spoke to anyone about how I feel as I thought I was on my own. I thought it could be a side affect of my medication as I am on olanzipine and pregabalin? Help I don't no wot to do its making my life hell I am a prison in my own home
