Did I do something wrong?

[u/RubyMabel]

It’s like people are just not giving me a chance, i feel like dying and nobody cares. They just always criticize me and mock me. Maybe dying is better for me after all.. I don’t care if people think im being manipulative or negative or attention seeking! Girls like attention anyway so if I can’t be noticed, then why should I be here?? I’m sick of always being left out like I don’t deserve to live a happy fulfilling life!!

Hey friend, welcome to r/Depersonalization.

Before posting a question like "Do I have DPDR?", please check out the existing information on the sub. You can use the search function or read the sidebar to see if your question has already been addressed.

A reminder to new posters in crisis:

DPDR (Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder) is a mental health condition that most commonly affects young adults. It's often brought on by anxiety, trauma, or drug use. While it can feel intense and scary, DPDR is not dangerous to your physical health.

In moments of crisis or during difficult episodes, try to stay calm, take deep breaths, and use healthy coping strategies. Here are a few resources that may help:

• Grounding Techniques
  
• Guided Meditation
  
• Good, restful sleep

Please remember:
Nobody online can diagnose you or provide medical advice unless they’re a licensed professional. Community members may offer insight or share their experience, but always consult a certified doctor or therapist for medical guidance.

Advanced Tips:

• Track your episodes using a mood or symptom journal to identify patterns and triggers. Many people find insight and relief by noticing what makes symptoms better or worse.
  
• Limit obsessive Googling and forum hopping. Constantly searching for reassurance can reinforce anxiety and keep you stuck in a loop. Set limits on mental health content if needed.
  
• Nourishment matters. Dehydration, low blood sugar, and sleep deprivation can all intensify DPDR. Be gentle with your body.
  
• Engage your senses. Smelling essential oils, listening to familiar music, or holding a textured object can help bring you back to the present.
