Coping with over sensory of the body.

I hate taking pictures of myself. I feel so weirded out? Like... this person is me? How the hell this person is me? This is not me. I'm something else. I'm not this. It's just... I don't see myself as a human being, you know? Sometimes I walk among crowds and I feel everything off. I couldn't care less about my health and this kind of shit because it doesn't matter, right? I'm sorry, I'm not even making sense but it's like nothing is real and i feel nothing?

Hey love,

It sounds like what you could be going through is something called depersonalization/derealizaion. When someone depersonalizes, it means that they feel disconnected from their boy, like it isn't theirs. Like they're living in a movie or everything feel 2D like it isn't actually real. A lot of people feel it sometimes, you're not alone in this.

When you're feeling depersonalizatoin it's always good to try and ground yourself. Grounding is when you try to make as many connections and links withing yourself and the world around you. I'm going to give you a few techniques on grounding that I know work for me. Since when you're grounding you have to make as many links as possible, I try listing off things around me, how they look, smell, feel like, sound like, anything. I be sure to say this out loud so that I can hear your voice. It's actually really important that you hear your voice, so don't think you're weird for talking out loud. While you're doing this you're making links from within yourself to the world which will help you feel more "real" and there. Another thing you can do is try to list off memories from when you were younger, remind yourself of all that you have been through, how you are real.

This can be scary when it happens but it's manageable. If this problem continues you should probably talk to someone about this, maybe a professional? It's going to be okay, you're not alone <3

I have depersonlization and derealization I always get thoughts of physically hurting the people I love and it's so scary especially when you don't feel in control of your own actions. Is this a normal symptom of dp and dr?

Hi Anon,

I don't know if that is a symptom of DP and/or DR, but it definitely is worrisome, especially if you are planning on acting on the impulses. We have some skills you can use to cope, but I strongly urge you to get help for those thoughts/urges.

So... this whole dissociation thing has made me forget 2 days. I have no idea what I have done for the last two days. I remember like watching my programs. Yesterday I watched black box and various other programs, day before I watched Vampire diaries, day before Arrow... But I think that several hours of each day must be missing which is why I'm confused. I remember getting up at 2pm each day but apparently I took my medication at 11am and I did things afterwards. I remember playing on New Leaf but then don't remember after that and then I remember watching the episodes but not what I did whilst watching them or whether I had dinner or anything like that idk. It's sort of weird.

I just want to feel like I coexist .

I'm thinking the only way I'm going to be able to heal myself from dp is to get away from the Internet and that "virtual world" as much as I can. I deleted my instagram, vine, twitter, and Skype. And basically any other social app. I'm going to try and concentrate on getting better in the real world. There is this weird feeling I get when I'm on my phone or laptop then when I start to do something that's irl it messes me up a bit. But I'm still going to keep my tumblr.

i feel good for first time in my life after 10 years of Dpd

i get better since i read a chapter in Qur'an , i am Muslim  so i think when u go back where u belong or where u feel right that would help u so much  , i read the same chapter for 7 times , i swear until now i don't know how that help me that much getting better  , but i think cuz this is my religion this is where i feel safe , these are words that i used to hear since i was so little and maybe reading it make me realize things that would help me control my feeling and count on God to make things better , 

i know some people will find my post Logical  and some not ,but this is the last thing i tried to get rid of Dpd and i swear this is the only thing beside being so calm and dealing with my feeling without ignoring that help me feel so real , good and positive  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WvHMNuhH3Y  this is the chapter i read and listen to in case someone would ask which one i am talkin about

I don't go a day without having a meltdown. I'm constantly wanting to cry. I can't remember important things. I'm tired of this. I just want it to go away.
