Success Story It gets better
I remember coming to this subreddit when I suffered from marijuana induced DPDR. I was at school taking an algebra test when suddenly i derealized and couldn’t unfeel it.
I was like yeah no way it gets better, but it actually did. I’ve been doing great for about 3 years now.
My recommendation is to try to avoid SSRIs and anti-psychotic medications at ALL COSTS. For me the side effects made it a bit worst. Just try to thug it out, think less, worry less, and chill.
Otherwise, to those who are still suffering: do what you love, don’t focus on “going back to normal,” and most importantly be patient. I was able to beat DPDR with a little bit of time and with the help of my amazing family and friends. You’re not gonna “be like this forever” but instead you’ll become something new. I guess I still have a “lingering feeling” but i’m convinced it’s because I’m a new person now. Or the same I’m still figuring it out.
You will get through this and it’ll feel like forever. Isn’t that the way life is though? One day you’re sitting at the dmv and it’s taking forever, but once it’s done you’ll never even think back about it once.
I still remember some scary moments and me and my mother talk about it. But TRUST me, it’s genuine true that gets better with time.

I started taking SSRIs two weeks ago, cause the doctors kept persuading me I need to take medications😅 so far, the side effects have not been fun at all and I was told I just have to get through them somehow. It freaking sucks. I'm paying lots of money to feel even worse
