Dissociation is a disconnection from ourselves and or our surroundings.
Dissociation happens on a spectrum. On the lower end of the spectrum, it can happen as daydreaming or zoning out. On the opposite side of the spectrum, it can look like Dissociative identity disorder, which used to be known as multiple personality disorder. In the middle of the spectrum are common dissociation experiences, known as depersonalization and derealization.
In this video, we will discuss these forms of Dissociation, their symptoms, and why they happen. I will also give you a few tips on what you can do to help ground yourself and be more present.

I’ve had depersonalization & derealization coming up on 3 years now, and I’m so terrified it will never go away. Out of those three years there has been about 5 times that have lasted 30 seconds to a minute where I feel real and alive. I can’t explain how magical it feels, it’s like little me is back. I think it’s going to last but before I know it I’m gone again. I just want to feel alive. I miss it so much. I don’t know what to do I’m almost 15 and this started when I was 12 I had a lot of traumatic times at that point and it’s like I fell asleep one day and never woke up from the dream. What if one day I’ll wake up and all my teen years will be gone. I just want to feel alive. I really miss it

It's all about grounding yourself, the best thing for you to focus on is learning to relax your mind and body and find different ways to remind your brain that everything is okay. A couple of ways I managed to do this during my troubling times with DPDR is staying hydrated, pushing myself to keep moving and staying active, and to hang around family and/or friends. Don't close yourself out from the world because of this anxiety, overcome this obstacle and take control of it.

I've been going through something similar for about 2 years, it really does suck. I don't know the best solution, but something I've found that may help is not taking things seriously. On bad days, I feel more grounded if I laugh things off or find something positive to focus my attention on. Something that also helps is avoiding things that might make it worse like unreality content/generally distressing subjects, since it sometimes makes people fall deeper into that state. Sleep is definitely a part of it too, some of the worst dissociative experiences I've ever had were on days where I slept less than 4 hours a night for weeks on end, and I've noticed that I feel a lot "clearer" when I'm well rested. It's different for everybody, but I hope you are able to recover and find peace in yourself soon. Trust me, it will eventually get better, it just takes time

I've been dissociating for years and only realized fairly recently. I also noticed last month that I am dissociating every time I go to the gym, it's frustrating because that was my safe space and now it feels like I need a new environment to shock the nervous system back. I feel out of my body.

​@@nuvairatahir@crowewolfe290 just want to reassure you both, and anyone else in this same position, that you can do it. I had my first dissociative episode during my undergraduate thesis and I thought my brain was permanently broken. Your brain is not broken, or damaged. Your body and emotions are just a little dull. Your brain might be foggy, but everything you need is still in there. Your brain is just trying to protect you from the extreme stress. After I spent a few days completely freaking out, I got up every day and worked on my thesis, and managed to submit it 2 weeks early. It was extremely scary at the time, but I honestly believe that dissociating helped me get through writing my thesis. I think I would have had a nervous breakdown otherwise. Try to distract yourself from thinking about what's happening to your brain, and have faith that you're going to recover, because everyone always does. Take advantage of this period of low emotionality to do your silly little tasks, and you'll be done before you know it. The same happened during my master's thesis. Again, I made it through, and this time I knew that the dissociative cloud would lift eventually, so I was less scared. My best advice is to stick to a routine, work on your thesis a bit every day, and exercise hard if you're able, even just for 10 mins. You're going to finish your thesis, and you're going to be ok!

I thought I was just stupid or crazy, but you explain how I feel exactly. Almost like I’ve told you. I often feel like the world around me is not real. I feel like it’s my first time seeing the world and I don’t know where I am I just know it’s not real. Much more often I experience people feeling like they’re not real people and almost like they’re video game characters or characters in a tv show. I’ve been listening to friends talk and suddenly remember they are real and we are friends that have a bond more and they aren’t just fake tv show characters. I also often find myself not in my own body and feeling like I’m watching my life happen through a screen almost like a tv show. I’m in control of my body but I know it’s not real and I exist outside of this “fake world”. I’m not sure I want it to go away. It’s almost comforting to feel like nothing is real and nothing exists, not sure I should feel that way.

I have been medically diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder about 2 years ago. The longest stretch of dissociation lasted for about 4 weeks. I remember nothing of what happened. My best description of what it is roughly like is similar to driving a car. When its me like now, im driving. When another is also present, it's like im the passensger. When they are fully in control (for whatever reason), it is as if i am in the boot of the car. I hope this helps give a perspective of what it's like. Dissociation is rough, but it is normal, like daydreams are normal. You are worth it, you are loved, you can make it ❤️

One quick fix that helps me to get back to the surface when I get frustrated is wiping the inside of my ears and nostrils with cold water. It immediately brings me closer to the surface. But it definitely does not solve the problem long term, it just helps to keep me from getting aggravated with myself from not doing the basic maintenance of my every day life (I have developed diogenes syndrome from dissociation). So applying cold water helps me snap out of it enough to find the focus on my environment to get stuff done, but I never finish as confronting the diogenes is a trigger itself so they kind of feed into each other (dissociation makes me neglect my environmental tidiness and hygiene and cleaning makes me realize how dirty it is which sends me into a shame spiral that pushes me right back into derealization). Thank you for the long term tips. I started seeing a specialized therapist (I feel sorry for people in the US who can't afford help) and I can't wait to start doing emdr and brainspotting with her because I'm really tired of dragging myself through life, experiencing shame and guilt as primary emotions 😓

There is something in the way you present things that makes it easier to understand and process than many of the other places the information has been presented to me. There are no words for how valuable that is. I have had so much difficulty with getting help because of the way I interpret the definitions given. I've only recently started seriously exploring if I am autistic or not, and it has only been through people with a similar ability to make things relatable that i've been able to actually understand what is meant when X is said.

Sometimes I like to read about dissociation cause even I don't have a dissociation disorder when I was 12/13 years old I remember telling my mom it took me some seconds to remember my age sometimes even say my own name sounded strange to me, the truth is, I was subconsciously trying to dissociate. I don't have a history of physical aggression but being mentally abused was enough for me to develop these symptoms, my father is mentally abusive and both my parents used to act as I wasn't allowed to be angry or sad about what he had done to me just because "he was my dad", it put me in a "toxic cage" feeling a lot of emotions at the same time in a hard level and in other periods trying to be detached from them, that's why sometimes I can't recall details of bad things he did to me or feel the truly emotions of it, cause "your suffering isn't valid if it's your dad who harmed you".

I appreciate you making this video as I believe this is a really important topic to talk about and I feel like things like this are easily triggered - maybe not multiple personality disorder, but just normal episodes of dissociation as I’ve never had anything traumatic occur thats triggered it and too my surprise I feel like its just got a lot to do with my anxiety. I hope it goes away soon as my mental health is something I don’t want to get in the way of this year, and to anyone experiencing the same kind of thing, I hope you can recover from this too ❤

Thank you for this clear concise explanation. Now i understand what's been happening to me. I suffered familial trauma & school bullying from a young age so developed acute anxiety & depression with what i now know to be episodes of petrifying derealisation. Most of my abusers have either gone out of life or passed away & i've been slowly getting better, so the dp episodes have been getting less. I had one a few days ago, though, after not having had one for over a year. It felt so weird, also annoying, but now i know it's just my brain's way of trying to protect myself. I'd already worked out some grounding techniques myself, but will try these in the video, too. I also find meditation, reparenting skills, breathing exercises, & doing things where i need to concentrate in the present like knitting (because i have to follow a pattern), playing my musical instruments (because i need to follow the music score), & doing word puzzles all help, too. I wish all of us who suffer abuse & trauma happier, more peaceful times ahead, & that we will find the answers & expert help we need.

Ive been dissociated for over 10 years and its become a normal part of my everyday life. I literally don't care about anything that happens around me my relationships with loved ones and friends are nearly all ruined because i don't care about people anymore since nothing feels real it's almost like i dont see them as people but more like characters in a sims game. I don't really mind when someone insults me or leaves me I just shrug cause i can't feel the impact of it since it's not real

Wow. Been in therapy for at least 4 decades now. Been diagnosed with multiple mental health things but just found a therapist that believed me when I said that in my youth I would float above and watch myself slowly in traumatic situations. Actually, I would watch the floating me watching the actual me in each situation. (Abusive father) Then that therapist again believed me when I couldn’t feel my hands due to a rape when my hands were tied behind my back. Tried different modalities of therapy but they didn’t work. Still working with that therapist. I guess you can have specific body parts disassociate or is that just amnesia? Anyway, VERY best explanation of dissociation I’ve found anywhere-especially the multiple examples given. Thank you. I look forward to more videos.

I guess I have dissociative identity disorder. I've had 3 different social workers diagnose me with it. I just want real help. I need real help Ohio doesn't have anyone who is experienced with my disorder. I feel stuck.

No. People want to act like they dont hear me or that I dont seem to exist. So I play the role of not existing. Thats that. Now they want to say I'm disassociate. Please. They always have excuse.

I'm so confused...I don't know what I'm going through... the world definitely feels weird to me and unreal but it's not that bad I remember I was in the car with my mom and my head was racing with thoughts " Why are people driving? " " Is this world real? " " Why am I in this car? " " What would happen if I got out of this moving car? " " Why am I thinking of these thoughts? " " I'm scared " " I'm going crazy " " I'm in a car right now " Am I going through a dissociation?? I'm so confused what's going with me??? I do go completely numb and empty too

Yup, that's a spike in dissociation. It feels scary, but will pass. Sometimes it helps closing your eyes for a short while and telling yourself that what you're feeling is just dissociation and that you're safe.

Many years ago, I was involved in a traumatic event. I can't say how but for some years after that, I was conscious that colours didn't look quite right to me. I told this to a psychologist who immediately replied, "Don't overdramatise. If you want me to help you, you have to tell me the truth." I'm Australian so naturally I told her, "Well, the truth is, you're an unprofessional old bitch collecting your pay under false pretences." (I mean she DID ask for the truth after all). It took a random click onto a KZfaq video to find out what was actually happened to me. WOW. Thanks Micheline.
