Depersonalization?
Hello,
Is it possible, or is there a high chance, to have depersonalization?
Because for about a month now I've been having symptoms of depersonalization and it usually occurs when I'm alone or just doing nothing.
What can be done about it?
Another question I have is whether it is dangerous since I read on the internet that I kill a lot of people because of it?
Depersonalization (and also derealization) is often the secondary symptoms of another mental illness. If the depersonalization occurs as a result of another mental disorder, it is subordinate to it. An isolated occurrence is rare, but may occur. In this case, a depersonalization and derealization syndrome (DDS) is sputtered. Reliable diagnosis can only be a specialist (psychiater or psychologist).
If depersonalisation occurs as a result of another mental illness, the underlying disease is treated. This is how the depersonalization should improve… this is at least the common practice. Step it isolated on is a treatment difficult, but not impossible. The focus is on psychotherapy. There are no medicines that are allowed to treat a DDS. There are indications that a combination between an SSRI antidepressant and the antidepressant antiepileptic Lamotrigine can help in certain cases. Studies show a certain effectiveness in the administration of opioid antagonists such as Naloxon or Naltrexon. These must be administered intravenously. The effect lasts only about 24 hours. Treatment with opioid antagonists is usually quite experimental and rarely practiced.
If you are suspected of suffering from medically relvant depersonalization, contact your doctor. He should examine you and, if necessary, refer you to a psychiatrist for clarification and possible therapy.
still when I had depression at the time…was like mental suicide, felt totally strange in me, I didn’t feel anymore…was the worst symptom and caused great fear…
I thought that never went away again and was completely hopeless
On the other hand, in any case sports/outpowering in whatever form always helps…at best go out a few kilometers, after which (usually 2 hours) I went well again…at least for the rest of the day…body and soul again become a unit..
You can also treat this with medication…
Dangerous is really if you are too much alone and savour in your own mind juice. With me it quickly became better than I was in the day clinic among people… before I was completely isolated
Hello,
As koda13 has written, this is likely to have many in mild form. And if you don't feel bad about it, I wouldn't give it any special meaning.
I've talked to people about this topic. So, whenever there are longer conversations about sensations and analyzing life and thinking in general, I have already heard something similar from someone. I myself have probably had this intensified mainly in my younger years, from puberty, and could later deal with it better. Often I found this feeling quite interesting. However, it was always connected to me that I knew very well what my reality was, but often my feelings had been perceived outside my body and had somehow seen me apart from real life. Often I could think about life.
What you can do about it: maybe it's time and again with you. But keep trying to get you back from such sensations and see if it works. It's probably predisposition. If you can live your normal life quite well, then I think it's quite normal and unthinkable.
It would only be dangerous if you were so sorry you didn't stop it anymore. If this were so, then probably one medical treatment is necessary. If you feel it's like that, but you're doing a normal life pretty well, it's pretty sure not dangerous.
Exactly, everyday dissociations are no longer bad and widespread. When the feeling lasts and always comes back so that you suffer, it is only a problem
The depersonalization/derealization disorder is a form of dissociative disorder, which consists of continuous or repeated experience of standing outside the body or being separated from its own thoughts. Mostly with the feeling of watching your own life from outside. About 50% of people make this experience at least once in their lives, only about 2% meet the diagnostic criteria for the fault pattern.
The treatment includes a drug and psychotherapeutic therapy.

Suicidal thoughts can arise, whether more than other disturbance images, I do not know.
How do you experience that? This is a stress reaction, we can’t say much here. We can’t tell if the chance is high. We do not know you and your life at all
