[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587878, member: 1550"] I have had both derealzation and depersonalization. It was the worst, scariest symptom I had. I didn't know what it was and it wasn't as severe as your sons because I didn't see things big and little or without color, but I did feel like I was behind a wall and the world was a dream. I would look at a tree and it would scare me because it didn't look real. Or I'd look at my hand, attached to my body, moving on it's own and think it didn't seem real. And I'd then get scared and think I was losing my mind. It's a horrendous feeling. He has kudos from me that he can play a sport and function while experiencing these symptoms. I am not sure losing time is part of dep. and der. I didn't have that either. I had no hallucinations...are you certain there is nothing else going on too? Has he ever seen a regular psychiatrist? Anyhow back to the dep./der.... The only thing that helped me was medication, at least when I was younger. I think working with dialectal behavioral therapy (mindfulness) is another good idea. That's learning to focus in the now ALL THE TIME. However, really, only medication helped it for me and that was Valium. Benzos were good for me for depersonalization/derealization. I haven't had it for a long time, but I'll never forget it. It often starts because of pot use. I wish all of you luck. Hope the explanation helped. [/QUOTE]
