I have been living with this feeling for the past 4 years. But it started when I smoked pot once. and after that I have not been the same. I don't know what this is, but it's pretty scary. I too live with this from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. There is no escape from this feeling. What triggered you derealization state? I wasn't like this before and now I am. Doctors haven't given me any solid answers either. What actions have you taken to try to fix this?
> If you ever find out how to get rid of depersonalization and derealization, please let me know. I can't remember a time when I didn't feel this way. I'd sum it up as feeling that I'm not real and neither is anything else. Do you also dissociate? It's hard to say if the dp/dr is a symptom of my depression and/or the dissociative disorder. Thinking about these unreal feelings only makes it worse for me, so I try to ignore it as best I can. If you've had this for a year, did the onset seem to be related to anything? How have you been coping with it? So far, I haven't found any doctors who had any answers or even helpful advice regarding this. What does your doctor recommend?
