Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder affects around 2% of people yet there is limited guidance on treatments specifically for the condition.
A feasibility trial of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy shows promise. 🌀

Draft card for consultation, please give feedback and suggestions for improvements by 04/01/2026 New draft: "Sometimes I experience depersonalisation, where I feel as though I can't connect with my emotions and/or body - as if I'm not really there or am not in control of my body. Parts of me may also feel distorted or numb. I may seem emotionally distant or find it hard to respond, speak, or move. I can't control when this happens. It can make life extra challenging. Please be patient. See the back of this card for things that help/more info." Original text: is the same as above, but with the second half saying "I may seem emotionally distant or find it hard to move. I can't control when this happens. It can make life extra challenging. Please be patient. See the back of this card for things that help/more info."
We're reviewing our #depersonalisation card. We'd love your feedback, whether you are someone who might use it or be shown it.
● Would you find this helpful?
● Is the info clear?
● Are any key points missing?
● Any improvements to suggest?
We look forward to hearing from you!
Fun fact:
Did you know it is in fact NOT normal to recall memories as a third person “watching”? *laughs awkwardly* #thanksit’sthetrauma #dissociation #derealization #depersonalisation #traumaresponse #therapy
🌫️ Depersonalisation–Derealisation Disorder
Makes people feel detached from themselves, like life is dreamlike or unreal. It’s more than being “spaced out” - it’s isolating and misunderstood. Awareness matters!

Ever felt like the world isn’t real or like you’re outside your own body? 🤯
#OCD + #anxiety can trigger #depersonalisation & #derealisation — but there’s hope.

Probably should have better prepared for the predictably intense brain crap this week.

Title page: a creature thats just a ball of hair, big round white eyes and long legs stands with the text EMPTY SPACE below him.
Page one: the fuzz ball creature stands in headphones by a arcade carpet looking bus chair. Text reads: The bus was so empty I was alone

Page three: the fuzz ball creature sits with big shoes on, among boxes of shoes. Text reads: I went shoe shopping. And I struggled.

This is a really interesting read:
Seventeen years ago Nathan Dunne was locked out of his #body, or at least that’s how it felt. He talks about his battle with #depersonalisation disorder – and his sudden #fear of water:
#mentalhealth #psychology #somatic #experience #outofbody
What a story! He could only be a professor of #philosophy.
"Dunne’s transformation sounds like a fairytale in reverse: one kiss, and his life turned into a nightmare. Seventeen years have passed since that night, and he still mostly explains the change in himself in metaphors and similes.

Shit, I feel myself withdrawing from myself again. Probably sounds weird but that’s how it feels. I know I’m me, I know I’m in control, but I’m outside myself like a 3rd person game like GTA only with less car theft. Doctors call it #Depersonalisation. It comes & goes but hasn’t happened for a while
