does derealization go away?
im a 20 yr old female and iv had derealization for 4 months now. it has not gone away not once. i feel spaced out, but werid all the time like these are not my eyes im seeing out of . i have no idea why i got it (which makes me not understand how i got it) i never thought i had anxiety either or was very stressed? its the worst feeling in the world and im just scared to death it will not go away. does it? what are things would help me recover? i would really appreciate anyones help! for the first 3 months thought i was stuck and that i had to have hurt something in my body but iv had a mri, cat scan, spinal tap and tons of blood work that come back normal. i was so depressed and scared but now im just trying hard to beat this thing if its possble. my emotions are up and down all day long. one min im like ill be ok i have hope an the next im scared again and just want it to be done or think it wont go away. hope i get some answers, thank you.
I am 53 years old I have had this my entire life. It does go away. It comes and goes. It is horrible. I know this first hand. I feel for you, cause I have suffered with this for 40 years. Try not to get stressed out it makes it a lot worse. Try to relax. Take a nap when you can. Think good thoughts. Do not be scared. It will make it worse. If you can meditate, do so. Get some exercise. You probably do not feel like exercising, but try. Keep calm. Please hang in there. It will get better. It will go. Don't be scared.
Hi,
You poor thing its awful i know you feel so alone. There is a website i found helped me with ynderstanding all this stuff and helped me to keep calm when things were happening to my body i didnt understand. which in turn if your calm they tend to ease off and in time you start and feel your normal self. The website is called anxiety no more and you'll no when your on it there's a blue margin at the top of the screen with a woman stood with her arms outstreched. This website is not like the others the man who created it has suffered himself and has helped many people cope.
Hope this helps keep me posted.

hey!
short intro: i'm 15 years old going on 16 and have had depersonalization and derealization disorder for almost a year, and it is exhausting. It's been a terrifying ride this past year and have had to cope not only with the given highschool difficulties and struggles but also with a draining disorder I had no idea about.Many times all i could do was cry at the fact that i felt i was losing my mind...i finnaly built up the courage to tell my mom and a month ago i began seeing a therapist. good news is we're not crazy...which to be honest helps but doesn't make the discomfort dissipate. it can be stressful...after a year of "not feeling here" the fight to get better can diminish. but there is hope. many people ave these kinds of disorders, thebest thing to remember is that you're not alone. it's been a tough year battling with depersonalization and derealization plus the given anxiety, but your hope must be preserved! i wish you the best!

can add that i just woke up one day after a nights sleep and i had it. This strange feeling that something wasnt okey, world was 2D and it felt surreal, something was gone and i freaked out. For a very long time i thought the fan that blowed cold air on my sweety forhead that night caused this somehow inside my brain. (i know, really unlogical perspective, but i was a kid.) But i continue thinking that something serious had happened inside my brain for many years after. And it just felt unreal that this was caused by negative thinking patterns. But now, i think i start to realize that this is actually just anxiousness. I still have a hard time grasping that though
