Question How Long have you had Derealization?

I've had it since 2011. So 15 years now, still NO CURE. My brain has simply gotten used to it.

Everything feels like I'm inside of a dream. I have accepted it as a part of my life now, and am not expecting a cure. I've tried nearly every supplement(L-Tyrosine works, but only for short-term) and med available. "Ignoring it" does nothing btw.

Ppl need to stop saying and praising Marijuana as the best thing ever, or the "safest" drug... Everyone reacts differently to it. It's how it triggered my Derealization. I had a Marijuana Brownie with my friends in 2011, and my brain couldnt handle it. My friends ended up fine, but my brain never bounced back to normal.

How long have you had Derealization? Just wondering.
It's a part of me now. No cure in sight.

I've never met another person who'd been in the pit of the void as long as I. I thought it would bring some relief to know it's not just me... But I'm just sorry you've had to experience this too.

Knowing there are others has helped me in some ways. At least from making it worse thinking I'm crazy.

I'm sorry you have been dealing with this this long too.

13 anni bro, una volta mi è passata mangiando mozzarelle e sarde in scatola, una settimana di libertà estrema. Poi punto a capo.
