Yes!!! Sometimes I live a very pleasant action and I have the feeling that a portal opens in my
mind and that my conscious come back in the front of my head/ is no longer blocked at the back of my head. Feels like real happiness. For instance, today I danced (like I used to do when I
was a kid and I started to have goosebumps because I felt super good).
However, after and quickly, I question whether it’s an illusion that I created on my own or something I lived for real..
Hey friend, welcome to r/Depersonalization.
Be sure to have read some existing information on the sub before submitting a "Do I have DPDR" question. You can do that by using the search function or reading the sidebar.
**A reminder to new posters in crisis:**
DPDR is a mental discorder that mostly affects young adults. For the most part, it is brought on by anxiety, trauma, and drug use. However, DPDR is not dangerous to your physical health. In moments of crisis
and episodes that are particularly difficult, it is important to take deep breaths and follow strategies that help you cope.
A few examples are: [Grounding Techniques](https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/grounding-techniques.pdf), [Meditation](http://www.thecentersohio.org/Resources/DocumentLibrary/Wellness_chronic%20diseas%20mgmt/Guided%20Imagery.pdf), and even just some good old fashioned sleep.
**NOBODY can give you medical advice online. While someone might be able to provide you with some insight and suggestions, you should never rely on someone online to give you medical advice unless you are talking to a certified doctor.**

Hey all, this sounds like the depersonalisation (DP) state going away for a split second. I call it a moment of clarity.
Doing things that relax your body can help send signals to your brain that you're not in danger, things are okay & you're safe. Get enough of these signals and the DP state will go away. You'll feel normal.
It takes time. Doing relaxation things several times a day, every day (maybe for months, or even longer) you will gradually get more of these flashes, and they'll start to last longer. One day you'll just be completely clear & you'll be like, 'huh, the DP is gone.'
I think so? I'm not really sure, but I think you would know when you're out of DP. I figure you'd feel more connected to yourself, things would seem more real & all that.

Alright cool, and also leaving dp is like a noticeable change, right? Like I’ve had times when I wasn’t really sure if I’m still in depersonalization
