I have just recently found the term for what I have been feeling persistently for the last 12yrs. I became acutely aware of the detachment one day driving home from work- I was in a rush to get home to pick up my daughter from the sitters- when I realized that I just didn’t “feel […]
The first time it happened to me I was about 8. I was visiting Disney World with my mother. I remember I could see my breathe in the air when I turned toward her. I told her I felt like I was dreaming but the words that came out seemed distant and meaningless. I knew […]
Hello all. I amazed by this website. I have thought for the last 27 years that I was alone with this experience. I must say that after reading, I had/have more of a derealization thing than depersonalization [ There seems to be some cross over] It started for me from a pot smoking session when […]
I’ve had episodes of DP over the past 8 years. The most disturbing one was the one triggered by weed. I’ve had Dp before I started smoking weed and now that I’ve had an awfull trip I think i better stay away from the drug.I think I’m figuring it out though. It’s NOT the ultimate reality, it’s […]
Hi my name is Sarah, I will just explain the symptoms that i have experienced of depersonalization. I find that when I am concentrating on a project especially something that has to do with my hands or if I have awoken from a nap that is during the day I start to hear a low […]
First off, I just have to tell you what an amazing encouragement your site has been to me. When I found this website and read about DP and others experiences with it, I couldn’t stop myself from crying. I kept wanted to say “YES! YES! I FELT THAT WAY TOO!” I can’t even explain how […]
I am a 51 year old woman, and have never spoken to a doctor about my episodes of unreality. They have, thank God, lessened greatly over the years, and have never become chronic. I remember as a child of about 5 being in the garden and suddenly thinking I had just been born. I couldn’t remember […]
I am a registered nurse and have been for the last five years. The DP started when I was about 19 years old some where around there. I don’t want to make this a long and boring story because people tend not to want to read everyone else’s “boring” problem (smile). Anyway, some how I […]
Hi, my name is Alex, I’m 28 and this is my experience with DP. About 18 months ago while at work something changed inside my brain. It was instantaneous, I looked around and everything seemed different, like nothing was real, like I was in a dream or a movie or under the influence of drugs, […]

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 […]
What a relief to find that there is a name for what I am experiencing and that I am not alone in this; although, I’d not wish this on anyone. So here we are….all in this physical world but NOT! ….all in our little bubbles. Last night something happened that made me realize how bad my DP is […]
