Depersonalization: How I Recovered and How You Can Too

by Joseph Shay

For years I struggled with Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR) after smoking marijuana with a friend. I felt like I was still high years later, detached from my body, I felt unreal, like I was in a dream hovering over my body and watching my life play out like I was watching a movie. I went to psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists but no one could help me instead I just vented my frustrations to them week after week while they took my money. I searched and searched for a book or someone who could cure me of this awful problem I had. Through my journey I changed my diet, practiced meditation, read online forums, took supplements but nothing seemed to work. At one point I was trapped in my own home bedridden in fear of the world around me. It wasn't until I looked within myself, researched and studied, I read books, listened to testimonials, and came to the worst part of my Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR) that I found the cure. So I compiled all the notes I had taken over the years and I wrote the book I had always been looking for. In this book I define Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR), I tell you my own personal journey, tools/techniques to help you on your recovery, and lastly how to permanently treat your Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR) forever. I never ended up finding that easy to read step by step book that helped me cure my Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR) so instead I wrote it.

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me and thought reading about another person who went through what I am would help. While there was parts that I connected with since I've felt similar situations... it just wasn't what I felt. I have a disconnect from my body and that my life is on constant auto pilot. His story was worse than mine I think because I don't feel the need to lock myself away from the world. I battle my Depersonalization all in my head... constantly wondering how I'm doing this. He had a lot of anxiety that I just couldn't connect with and found myself skimming. A lot of it felt like it was being repeated. I'm glad he was able to find his way back to being his real self but his words/tips didn't help me.

Learning about dpdr for someone I love

The book was very informative and encouraging. My son suffers from dpdr and I don't know how to help him. He now has a counselor who has helped him a lot in a short period of time so I don't want to
recommend him read this book at this time because he's finally having moments of not obsessing about it all the time. The book gave me a better understanding of what he has been going through.

It gave me hope and made me feel less alone.

I think it confirmed what I already knew. If you are well versed and knowledgeable about this condition, you will feel a sense of relief and confirmation about how after a matter of time, it can work. It makes you feel less alone in your journey to recovery.

A Personal Experience

While the overall book is simplistic, I believe it will bring value to those who are unfamiliar with DP/DR. Great guidance from a personal experience. Not recommended for those who are looking for evidence-based documentation and guidance.

Very relevant advice

This short book based on the authors own experience of depersonalization is pretty unique, because it's based on experience. Very valuable little book.
