I’ve experienced Derealization since I was a kid – back then it didn’t cause me a great deal of panic, I didn’t worry about it and it passed. As an adult, I’ve experienced this odd sensation at times of great stress in my life. When I was 28, I had a period of major depression that […]

I came across this site on accident, but I am so glad I did!  For over ten years, I thought I was the only one in the world who had experienced this. When I was 14 I tried smoking pot for the first time.  I didn’t feel anything from it.  I tried it again a few weeks […]

Flatbag

It started when was about 15. I’m not sure if smoking pot has anything to do with it. I don’t understand why it’s happening and I want answers.  I got kicked out of my foster mums house for getting my nose pierced, I felt normal, I had a social life, I wasn’t afraid to drink alcohol I wasn’t […]

I had started hanging with a bad crowd in school, you know the type that like sex, drugs and […]

Seth

Hi, I’m Seth. I’m 29 and I believe I have had DP since I was around 10. I first heard the term five years ago, attempting to find a name for what I was feeling. At first I though I was schizophrenic, dysphoric, bipolar…but none of these totally encompassed my symptoms. I came across the […]

Depersonalization started for me when I was about 12. I had been smoking weed with my friend Jes for about 3yrs, and the first time I experienced DP we were sitting in her back yard on a picnic table smoking out of a home made can pipe. My friend dropped the weed, as I went […]
