    Yes. When the stress response ends.. The symptoms leave. So you need to work on reducing stress and anxiety through lifestyle changes and possibly medication.

    3 months ago I was sent to the hospital for severe Brain fog and numbness. I touched and couldn't feel anything for a delay of like 6 seconds. Things were going very slow and I felt drunk and impaired. My head had a lot of pressure. With migraines and sensitivity to light. They said it was severe stress.. So I had to trust them and the research confirmed it. Im significantly better now and I didn't use medication.

    What are your symptoms?

      Existencial thoughts, changed surroundings, people looks unfamiliar, brain fog, dizziness, numbness, 2D, sometimes I have thoughts like "why people look like this?" "Why am I here?", social isolation, feeling strange.

      Yes.. Sounds like derealization. Isolation is a big cause aswell. If your in your room all day like I was it will make it worse. Your body looses touch with reality and nature and derealization with happen.

      How's your lifestyle now? Are you working? Are you Agrophobic?

      If your still able to function and go to school your better off than where I was. I couldn't leave my room.. Had troubles going to the bathroom.. It was that bad. Here's what helped me.. Diet(Fruit n veggies/Meat N soup / Moderate carbs) no stimulants or sugar or processed foods) / Exercise / Sleep / Sun bathing / walking in nature. Supplements (stress B vitamin complex and magnesium / multivitamin) Meditation 2-3 times a day even if I wasn't anxious.. Over time it kills all anxiety. If this doesn't work consider seeing a good psychiatrist and trying meds for a short amount of time while doing what I said above (Basically lifestyle + on top of cutting anything that causes you to stress.. Like people or news ect)

      Do you do drugs? Pot and hard drugs are known to cause derealization.

      I agree it's most likely anxiety. Have you ever seen a doctor about it? What did they say?

      Ye. He prescribed me Valium. It helps me a lot, but I take it when I need it, because I am to scared to become addicted.

    dp dr is curable. It is related to anxiety and is often the result of taking a benzodiazepam for too long for the anxiety cure.  A good way of controlling it is to have an organised day and keep busy. Yoga helps with  the thought processes due to the meditation used.

      But if I am taking benzos now? Because my dp/dr is from massive panic attacks and worrying all the time. Can they make dp/dr even worse and last longer. I am jus a few days on my benzos.

      It might depend on which ones so you  could take some medical advice on that as I don't know if it applies to every one.  I would try filling your day with things and even the yoga if you are up for that.
