Does anyone experience derealization/depersonalization too?

Sensory things help me a bit when I get in that space

Cold shower
Running hands under water or holding a piece of ice in my hands
Going outside (touching stuff around me)
Focusing on tiny details around me

I experienced depersonalization episodes as a kid. It wasn't quite what I'd call "really bad" (meaning, I wasn't too distressed over it), but it happened all the time. It was at a point where I'd even learned to take advantage of it and autopilot my way through certain unpleasant tasks.

In high school, I took up competitive running, and the episodes simply never happened during workouts or races. I think the key mechanic there was that when I was strenuously exercising, and continuing to push myself harder through the pain, it just became impossible to deny the realities of my existence and my agency.

So running played a helpful role for me, and you might consider taking up strenuous exercise if you haven't already. Curiously enough, I largely "grew out" of the depersonalization episodes, and they've been an extremely occasional thing for me in recent years.

We all know how to stop it......

Now Ill move on to helpful suggestions
Touch a body part and name it and take ownership eg
"This is greenshittyflowers nose"
Keep doing that awhile helps

Yes. That's why I call myself Geist. I feel like a ghost. Like I don't exist. I think it's a response to trauma or stress over time.

Yeah. Medication helps.

Nootropics, psychedelics, herbs. I think it has to do with depression so start your research there.

I do and i am still finding a way to stop it. 🤔
