Ive been living with derealization for the past 2 years of my life after greening out, is it possible to get rid of this or not?

At this point im so used to living in this mental state so ive given up on even trying to get rid of it and have accepted i will be a derealized retard who is unable to enjoy anything since non of it feels real.

I had it for very long aswell after ripping too much at my first time honestly idk what I did to stop it but it eventually gave in, I still have it from time to time though which I think is semi normal.

you should take a break from it until you stop having the feeling

thankfully only experienced this a few times bc of epileptic absences, i know how shit it is, sadly my condition was temporary so i was lucky, I’m sorry I can’t really help, but one thing that helped me is reconnecting with nature in some remote place, but everyone is different

i know what u mean, one thing that stuck with me since the first absence was the inability to feel joy like i used to (max 60% of the former limit)

this mental state is only useful for games but the rest is absolute torture:feelswhy:

seek professional advice or just embrace it ig

yeah man i fully relate to that, I feel like i used to be able to enjoy moments better and loom forward to stuff but now im living in a constant loop of my vision being slightly blurry and only remebering what i did when i get home and think back to everything i did during the day. Ive tried seeking professional help but they simply cant relate to anything i say and they all tell me its due to stress

SSRIs r usually the first choice, but again, under professional supervision only

when you say professional supervision do you mean get it prescribed or is it better to find a source myself

I feel for you so hard pookie. When I was 17 I had the worst acid trip in my whole life and my years of age 17-20 were almost completely lost to derealization. You trip out so hard, that you draw the conclusion that, since reality can be so easily bent, who are we to say that reality is something stable or real in the first place? Which is so scary. I went in and out of the psychiatric unit for suicidal tendencies, I was plagued with second guessing everything around me if it was real or not, I fell into solipsistic thinking were I thought all of my friends and loved ones were just figments of my imagination, etc.

The only real advice I have for you is to wait, I thought that it would never get better, but it did, now everything feels real again and days where I think about what happened to me are often weeks apart. Another thing that helped was to not fear derealization. I'm a bit of a control freak and when something feels weird I really hate it, maybe you can relate. I just sort of learned to realize that derealization wasn't really that bad, it feels freaky af but it's not dangerous, which I think mitigated the problem. Either way you got this bro:feelshmm:

A high school friend of mine suffered from DPD (deporsonalizarion/derealization disease). She skipped classes for three months just for staying at home. Everyone told her she wouldn't go anywhere with her life.
Needed to repeat senior year but got to finish with good scores. Became a medical doctor. Has two children.
Songwriter and lead singer Adam Duritz from the rock band Counting Crows has the same. Proves that the condition is manageable. Though I wouldn't ever risk my mental health over the usage of non-ascension drugs. Many friends of mine who went on a trip and didn't come back.

you dont know how good it feels to finally have some people who relate to this, for ages ive been trying to explain to friends and family about it and they all look at me like im fucking retarded or something. I totally understand and relate with the part you mentioned about with wondering if everything is even real and if the people you are close to even really exist. Also being a control freak I totally get as well like if i feel off one day the rest of my day is automatically ruined and there is nothing i can do to fix it.

I cant tell you how much i appreciate you giving me advice man seriously

Im glad to hear she recovered and it feels nice to hear stories of people actually recovering from derealization, when I first decided I wanted to try something I was around like 15 and was clueless on mental side effects, you know you watch all these videos about people like snoop smoking 24-7 and hippies doing mushrooms all the time and being completely fine, some even claiming it helps them see life from a different perspective

After my first time it felt like I truly lost something mentally, it was like I could not feel joy anymore and nothing felt worth doing anymore because I was so derealized. Ive managed to gain back some motivation now but I still have pretty heavy derealization most days but Ive gotten pretty used to it at this point so it only effects me sometimes
