because I haven't seen a whole heap of decent information about this... I thought I'd do a beginner's guide to dissociation

disorders that can cause dissociation include:

DID

OSDD

PTSD

depression

OCD

BPD

DPDR

anxiety

eating disorders

some people also experience dissociation due to chronic pain

being dissociated can feel like, but is not limited to:

feeling disconnected from the world

feeling "blurry", "buzzy", "foggy", or "out of it"

not feeling any emotions

not feeling any physical pain

not remembering whole periods of time

feeling like you're floating outside of your body

your brain constantly going in and out of focus

dissociation is generally broken down into two categories:

derealisation: the feeling that the world around you is unreal, foggy, or just out of reach

depersonalisation: the feeling of being outside of yourself, or of not feeling real

I hope this is a helpful post, and that I've made people more aware of what dissociation actually is. if you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to ask!

dissociation + derealization culture is trying to figure out where the 'save' button is, and then realizing this is real life and you're *not* playing a game

how I would describe my dissociation

Depersonalisation:

It feels as if my whole life was a dream

Or a game in which a player makes choices, but I'm not the player, I'm the character that's being controlled

Hands, arms feel very heavy, but not like physically? And also as if there were prostetic which I do not control, just look at what they do

When I touch my face it feels as if it was paralyzed like after the visit to the dentist

When I look at my body, hands, I feel as if I was looking at hands of a person sitting next to me. I don't feel any connection to them

The line between what's my body and what's not is very blurry - it's hard for me to understand that my arm and foot are me, but the table, cup or a pen are not

I don't recognise myself in the mirror, it's as if I was looking at somebody else's picture/video

Derealisation:

It feels as if the whole world is made of cardboard. I don't believe that the objects have a solid form, only the outer layer

Words don't describe objects and objects are as abstract of a concept as words that we assign to them

The whole world is fake, arbitral and there is no reason why it looks... like it does

At times it feels as if it all were to just collapse, disintegrate, fall apart in front of my eyes

being chronically dissociated isn’t the most talked about DID symptom but it’s a complete nightmare to live with and i hate it so much.

i’m rarely fully grounded, i always feel like the smallest trigger is gonna send me back to not knowing who i am again. i’m on autopilot a lot, just going through the motions of life, not truly living it. i spend most of my time feeling at least partially out of it and people make a lot of assumptions based on that. it’s also exhausting, and it puts me in… situations. these range from ‘i wasn’t focused on being grounded and didn’t notice the queue moved’ to ‘my younger sibling stopped me walking into traffic because i wasn’t able to ground myself enough to be aware of my surroundings outside’

I have compiled a folder of Depersonalisation/Derealisation disorder self-help resources

It contains...

Six different tests used by psychologists to diagnose DPDR

Overcoming Depersonalisation and feelings of Unreality - a book written by several experts in depersonalisation disorder that includes some of the latest research about dissociative disorders.

The Stranger in the Mirror - a book by M.Steinberg a renowned expert in treating dissociative disorders

A meditative audiotape especially for DPDR

Several Cognitive Behavioural Therapy worksheets

Links to several other self-help resources including video and audio content, additional books and a forum for people with DPDR.

Link here at Mega

https://mega.nz/folder/JBpWVSTb#Ad6Mdz9xvO5oGUMOSJNxow

There is such little information about dpdr compared to other more common disorders like anxiety and I have still yet to meet a health professional that I haven’t had to explain the disorder to. Because of the general inaccessibility to DPDR resources and treatment, I have decided to compile some free resources, most of which were recommended to me by my psychotherapist. I wish I had access to all of these when I first started experiencing depersonalisation, so I hope this will be helpful to some people!

The way I look is not me.

The way I look sure influences the way others perceive me which may or may not influence my perception of myself, correctly or incorrectly, but the way I look when I see myself in the mirror is not the way I see myself.

I am my interests, my Pinterest boards, my prized projects and possessions, and most of all my hands, the only part of myself which I really perceive as me - which helps create the projects made of me and the art made of me and the actions I myself preform.

When I look in a mirror, I do not see me, it's not that I dislike what I see, it's pleasant enough, but it just isn't me. It's jarring in a way to not see myself the way I perceive myself to be, especially when I am hit with the realisation that my appearance in the mirror is all others see of me, for the most part.

To look in the mirror and not recognise myself often leaves me rather lost.

normal vs disordered: derealisation edition

normal: feeling like the world is foggy or unreal after stepping out of a cinema, or getting off a plane

not normal: feeling like the world is foggy frequently (sometimes without cause)

normal: feeling like nothing is real after you’ve just heard some big news (positive or negative), or while grieving

not normal: feeling like nothing is real frequently (sometimes without cause or in a broad range of situations)

normal: feeling like the people around you aren’t real when in a crowd or on a busy street

not normal: feeling like the people around you aren’t real frequently — even your friends and family

normal: feeling like the whole world is in 2D when you’re sick or experiencing a fever

not normal: feeling like the whole world is in 2D when there’s nothing else going on in your body

normal: losing touch with reality after reading an amazing book or watching a long film or experiencing some other immersive media

not normal: losing touch with reality frequently, to the point that you can’t keep up with your own life

just like other parts of dissociation, derealisation is on a spectrum. everyone experiences it from time to time. when it becomes a problem is when it gets in the way of your life and completing your daily tasks

The person in the mirror is not me

I’ve got dark hair- darker than the images’ own, shorter. More manageable than this curled mess.

I’ve got brown eyes- much darker than the blue eyes blinking back. The blue eyes judge me, point out everything that’s different.

The image in the mirror is shorter, a mere 5’3” compared to my height. Yet, I can stare into those light blue eyes.

(or maybe the eyes are grey- they’ve changed, I realise, they changed at some point from a critical glare to a soft understanding. I dont like it. Go back)

I am not me

And yet,

here I am.

Existing.

What It's All About

If I had to sum up this scrawny body of poetry, I would describe it as "poems chronicling the experience of living with depersonalization/derealization disorder (DDD, or "triple D" as I like to call it)". I write about all kinds of stuff, but DDD is an affliction that acts as a distortion field around every moment of your life, so it's impossible to separate from most areas of life.

I have lived with this disorder for about ten years now. Some of the most illustrative moments — and/or accumulated pain — of that experience can be found in many of my poems. It's a very painful affliction that most people are unfamiliar with, despite studies showing that up to 2.8 percent of people in certain countries have experienced depersonalization disorder (DPD), one of the two disorders that make up DDD. (Source: Psychology Today.)

There is no established treatment for DP or DDD apart from talk therapy, aka psychotherapy; all medical treatment is done on an experimental basis. (Some people recover, others never do.) The reason for this is a lack of research on the disorder and any possible treatments. My hope is that an increase in public awareness will lead to a greater investment in research.

More reading: Info about depersonalization and derealization from Mayo Clinic. You can find a lot of information by doing a web search for "depersonalization derealization", "living with depersonalization" or something similar. You can also send me asks. You can find all my DDD-related poetry under my depersonalization tag.

P.S. I don't proclaim to be a writer of consistent quality, so I recommend you check out my greatest hits tag to see all of my poems that at least three different people have liked or reblogged. It might not seem like they would necessarily qualify as "hits", but most things in this world are relative.

P.S. 2: I'm constantly working on my writing skills, and I've found that the most valuable insights usually come from hearing other people's thoughts on what I write. So if you have any feedback, I'd be more than happy to hear it!

derealisation culture is spending one day so close to reality that you become unsure whether or not youre actually still derealising because you've forgotten what reality feels like
