There are many triggers linked to feelings of depersonalization and derealization but lately there is a high rate of reactivity to E-Cigarettes and Vaping.
The symptoms include the following:

– Feelings of Unreality and Detachment

– Severe Anxiety leading to Panic Attacks

– Severe Chest Pains when Breathing (which stop when use is discontinued)

– Lightheaded, often extreme

– Racing Heart, Palpitations

– Insomnia

– Sweating and Irritability

– Excitability

– Inability to Concentrate

Recovery from Symptoms

1- Discontinue Use of These Electronic Cigarettes and Vaping

The symptoms often abate when usage of these E-Cigarettes is discontinued with the exception of those who become sensitized to these reactions, creating further symptoms until they learn to interrupt the process of fearful worry.

It’s essential that the individual recognizes the trigger and learns to interrupt this disruptive behavior. Through the proper approach one is able to interrupt the habit of fearful worry and allow a sensitized body to calm down, and a tired mind to refresh.

Application of the correct process is crucial for the fatigued mind to rejuvenate and full clarity to return. One learns to interrupt this habit of fearful behavior and step out of one’s own way. The process is simple to use but requires strict adherence by the individual.

2- Begin the Process of Self Nurturing

Proper diet must be applied that creates a less reactive mind and body through naturally increased Serotonin levels and Stable Blood Sugar levels.

Daily activity and exercise outdoors.

3- Retrain the Brain to quiet the mind naturally rather than exacerbate the behavior of fearful thinking.

4- Know Your Reactivity Levels

It’s also necessary to realize that some individuals are highly reactive to outside stimuli, such as these Electronic Cigarettes. They contain substances that the reactive individual will find difficult to process and intrusive in their system.

Nicotine is a stimulant that the reactive person is going to process with difficulty.

5- Find Other Ways to Relax Rather Than the Use of E-Cigarettes and Vaping

Choose true methods of relaxation such as:

Meditation (short 5 minute meditation is often a great release of tension)

Yoga

Walking

Swimming

Reading

Breathing Correctly

 

Bottom line, you are in charge of how you feel and you have choices. When the mind and body are signaling you to stop using substances that result in negative reactions, LISTEN. Heed these signals and choose to nurture rather than hinder your body.

Feelings of anxiety and depersonalization are essentially red flags that you are doing something to interfere with proper functioning of both mind and body. It is your choice, always your choice, to create a lifestyle that fuels good health. Make that choice and notice an immediate improvement in both mind and body.

Marijuana Induced Depersonalization: Simple Recovery

by Ronnie Freedman, PhD

Lately there has been an increase in marijuana related experiences of depersonalization disorder, feelings of brain fog, detachment and unreality. One who never experienced disorientation and anxiety becomes frustrated and frightened as the symptoms not only linger but seem to intensify with time.

One does not have to struggle long term once understanding replaces fearful thinking. Relief lies in understanding this situation and learning how to achieve a complete and permanent recovery.

Understanding the Fatigued Mind

No matter what the trigger for these physical sensations, whether prescription medications, recreational drugs, alcohol abuse, or even prolonged stress/ illness, the effects of the initial event will eventually dissipate. Unfortunately, by this time, the mind has become fatigued by the habit of constant fearful worry. This continuous introspection is accompanied by the release of adrenaline throughout the body, heightening already intrusive symptoms and further tiring an already exhausted mind. More fear is induced and the cycle of fear-> adrenaline-> fear begins. A habit is born and if not approached correctly, one becomes entrenched in trapped feelings and fears permanent damage. Nothing could be farther from the truth but one must learn how to interrupt these sensations in order to pick up the pieces and return to normal living.

Two Part Recovery

It is essential to follow a specific therapy process, one which is accelerated and will enable a complete and permanent recovery. This does not involve medication since you are dealing with an individual, who is already reactive to outside stimuli, medication being high on that list.

Retrain the Brain

1- The first step towards recovery, beyond understanding the tired mind, is learning how to allow fatigue to lift naturally. It’s learning how to move out of one’s own way, so the mind is no longer exhausted by the habit of fearful thinking. One must learn how to replace unproductive thought with a more productive way of thinking. This is not difficult but must be followed in a specific step by step process. It generally takes 21 days to form a new habit, if one were to strictly adhere to the new behavior on a daily basis. Allowing for the intensity of habit and the normal “two steps forward, one step back” process of general behavioral recovery, a 2-3 month average for full recovery is expected.

Nutrition Connection

2- The second part of recovery involves nutritional therapy. This includes foods one already has in their own kitchen, bringing forth a noticeable improvement in both mind and body within a short period of time. This approach actually boosts Serotonin levels in the brain naturally and maintains balanced blood sugar levels, leading to a less reactive mind and body. Along with retraining the brain to think in a more productive manner, one finds that life returns to normal as a fatigued mind refreshes and rejuvenates naturally.

There is no need for medication, long term therapy or continuous discomfort when this disorder is approached correctly. With this two-fold approach, one is able to achieve a true sense of clarity and peace of mind by learning to change the way they think, along with a few simple nutritional alterations. By doing so, life returns to normal, as one begins to feel like their “old self” once again.

There is a great deal of hype connected with pre-workout supplements and their ability to boost the effects of an exercise routine. They claim to enhance energy, physical capabilities and build greater muscle mass, changing a normal workout session into a “super” workout. The problem with these promises is the fact that these stimulants actually create more physical and emotional difficulties than the benefits they promise.
The majority of these stimulants contain massive doses of caffeine along with a laundry list of sub-standard ingredients. This may seem innocuous to those hoping for miraculous results but in reality these pre-workout supplements are more than often quite dangerous, especially to those who are stimulant sensitive. The problem is that most are unaware of their own reactivity to these substances until they find themselves in the midst of intense adverse reactions.

Common Adverse Reactions to Pre-Workout Supplements:

– Severe Anxiety
– Intensive Depersonalization
– Hallucinations
– Convulsions
– Heart Rhythm Abnormalities
– Heart Attack
– Tremors
– Addiction, Dependency
– Palpitations
– Irritability, Mood Swings
– Inability to Focus
– Adrenal Fatigue
– Racing Thoughts
– Hair loss
– Memory Impairment
– Sexual Dysfunction

After prolonged use, a great toll is taken on the adrenal glands as they are forced to produce large quantities of energy producing adrenaline. This eventually culminates in adrenal fatigue when the adrenals fail to manufacture enough adrenaline for the individual to function properly. The result being, extreme fatigue, nervousness and heightened anxiety levels. The overload on the adrenal glands must be immediately addressed and treated with a specific, natural approach in order to rebuild and restore complete function of these glands.
One often becomes tolerant to these stimulants requiring higher dosages to receive the same so-called benefits. After prolonged use the individual finds himself using far too much, too often, becoming dependent on these “supplements” for normal energy on a daily basis.
There is also the problem of withdrawal symptoms when halting the use of these stimulants.

Upon Discontinuation of Pre-Work-out Supplements one may initially experience:

– Fatigue
– Headaches
– Craving for the Stimulants
– Mood Swings of great intensity
– Severe Depression
– Intense Hunger
– Mental Confusion
– Initial Increase in Anxiety, Depersonalization and Racing Thoughts
– Extreme Insomnia
– Adrenal Burnout

One must not resort to taking more stimulants in order to counter these reactions. This action will only prolong recovery and add to already damaged adrenals. Instead, one must learn to naturally counter these reactions by beginning a program based upon treating impaired adrenals.

This Adrenal Fatigue Treatment approach includes:

– Sufficient rest, re-establishing sleep patterns, insomnia treatment
– Proper diet/nutrition correction
– Moderation in exercise
– Slow withdrawal from any existing stimulants
– Natural Treatment of Anxiety, Depersonalization and Depression

One must not be tricked into believing more stimulants will alleviate symptoms, as the required correction is the exact opposite. The adrenals require time and patience to repair, rather than an increase in stimulants which only hamper recovery.
Most of all, one must be aware of the hype connected to these supplements, which in reality are merely massive stimulants that have become highly commercialized. The internet is saturated with bogus, glowing reports about these products, preying on and victimizing young people to purchase under false pretenses. Consumer beware by knowing and understanding fully what these chemicals will do to your system and the long road one must take in order to rebuild a truly healthy mind and body.

Depersonalization is a disorder that is fueled by the way we think. It is not an illness and does not require medication, especially since the majority of individuals who experience depersonalization are reactive to most outside stimuli, medication heading this list.

One, unknowingly, fuels this disorder by falling into the habit of fearful, negative thought. It becomes a strong, perpetual habit which eventually exhausts the mind, resulting in intense feelings of brain fog, detachment and unreality. Frustration follows, if the individual does not know how to interrupt this habit and allow the tired mind to refresh.

There are many triggers that lead to feelings of depersonalization:

– The stressful habit of fearful worry about one’s health, grades, work or situations.

– A prolonged illness, along with confinement.

– A reaction to a medication.

– A reaction to recreational substances (marijuana, LSD, ecstasy).

– A reaction to alcohol.

– A reaction to caffeine, nicotine, sugar or combination.

Understanding is essential, as far as a permanent recovery is concerned. One must understand that this is not life long sentence and this condition is easily overcome when approached correctly.

Treatment requires a simple yet specific process that must be strictly adhered to for permanent recovery to occur.

Two Step Process:

1 – Thought Changing: Retrain the Brain – One must learn to think correctly by learning to interrupt the habit of fearful “what if” thinking. This requires practice and will result in a mind that refreshes quite rapidly after a relatively short period of time.

2 – Nutrition Plan: Food Correction – This specific food plan and menu ensures the proper nutrients in the correct combination to create a less reactive mind and body. By doing so, one is able to settle down and focus on retraining an overactive mind, allowing it to refresh and rejuvenate. Eating correctly also leads to the natural boost of Serotonin, the feel good chemical in the brain and help to maintain balanced blood sugar levels, resulting in a true sense of well-being.

Full clarity returns when one learns how to use this process that interrupts the behavior that taxes a sensitized mind.

Other helpful suggestions which allow the mind to refresh are as follows:

– Interests–  Losing oneself in interests that fully engage, rather than remaining caught up in self thought and worry.

Volunteering:  Volunteering services to others forces one to engage outside of inward thinking.

– Outdoor Activity–  Engaging in outdoor activity on a daily basis, regardless of weather. Moderate outdoor exercise is therapeutic in many ways. It oxygenates the mind and body and allows light (even on cloudy days) to boost Serotonin levels naturally.

– Mindfulness Meditation – This simple form of meditation, even when practiced for a few minutes a day, brings forth astonishing results. It not only relaxes both mind and body, but allows one to acknowledge (to pinpoint) areas of the body holding muscles tense and tight. By doing so, you are able to instantly release this tension and immediately cap the release of stress chemicals in the body.

One has choices concerning this condition. Making the correct choice leads to a natural and permanent return to full clarity. Learning how to stop fueling the disorder is key to full recovery. It is not difficult and simple to follow. It is natural, effective and allows a tired mind to refresh in short order. Clarity returns, peace of mind replaces tension and fear, and a normal sense of well being resumes.

Depersonalization, along with anxiety, is often the result of marijuana use, due to the physical and emotional reactions this substance elicits in many individuals. There is a specific approach to combat these reactions and restore both mind and body to a true sense of well being.

Many are now experiencing a disturbing reaction to marijuana, which never occurred in the past. Intense feeling of anxiety replace the initial subdued reaction normally expected.

Many have experienced the following intrusive symptoms after smoking marijuana:

– Increase in fearful thoughts
– Racing heart
– Hyperventilation
– Shaking hands
– Sweating
– Racing Thoughts
– Nervousness, shakiness, and weakness
– Inability to concentrate
– Irritability
– Hunger and/or nausea
– Tingling or numbness in the lips or tongue

The reason for these reactions, although a riddle to many, is the closely related correlation between marijuana use and a low blood sugar reaction. The more one smokes the steeper the crash and the greater intensity of these symptoms. If one is aware of this reaction and compensates by countering the low blood sugar symptoms, the episode is quickly ended and life returns to normal. If, on the other hand, the individual believes they have injured or damaged themselves, fearful worry takes over and eventually could lead to a fatigued mind and feelings of depersonalization.

Depersonalization is a mind tired from the constant habit of fearful worry. It is fueled by one’s anxiety over the way they are feeling and the cycle of worry continues until interrupted by understanding and effective behavior modification. In other words, one must learn to view this from the proper perspective and immediately interrupt the cycle of fearful worry. By doing so, the exhausted mind rapidly refreshes and life returns to normal.

The solution may sound simple but for many the habit of fearful worry may become firmly entrenched and will require more practice for them to believe this is (a) only the result of prolonged worry and (b) simple to rectify when applying the correct method.

Many are convinced they have sustained damage from the substance and wrongly believe they must require medication to combat their perceived condition. This is a misconception since medication will only exacerbation a condition, prevalent in those who are already highly reactive to outside stimuli. They will, as studies have proved, experience the adverse reactions rather than the benefits of most anti-anxiety/anti-depressants on the market today.

The Solution

The solution to this problem is fairly clear for those who experienced this reaction. The first and foremost recommendation is avoidance of this substance as some are more susceptible to these reactions. If one is reactive to stimuli such as caffeine, nicotine, prescription medications, temperature/climate change, or sugar, it is suggested that they would be reactive to marijuana or other substances in this category.

If they have already experienced this reaction, the initial solution would be to treat this reaction as one would treat an episode of low blood sugar.

Low Blood Sugar Remedies

– Immediately drink 1/2 Cup of Orange Juice or 1/3 Cup of Grape Juice
or
– Tablespoon of honey or 1/2 cup of regular soda

Wait 10 minutes and follow with a protein snack such as:

– Cheese (on crackers or whole grain bread)
– Milk
– Nuts, Nut Butter
– Egg
– Poultry, Fish or Meat or Dairy (if tolerated) snack

The protein will maintain solid and balanced blood sugar levels for a longer period of time after the initial sweet snack restored blood sugar levels.

The anxiety and feelings of confusion will abate quite rapidly as one resumes their normal routine.

Long Term Solution

Those who were unaware of this protocol may be plagued with extended feelings of anxiety and depersonalization. This is not difficult to overcome. Once understanding and behavioral modification of the habit of fearful worry is initiated, the mind quickly refreshes, clarity is restored and life returns to normal.

Depersonalization, a feeling of unreality often known as brain fog, and is created out of a fatigued mind, a mind exhausted from the habit of fearful worry. It is kept in place by the cycle of fear and will remain there until one learns to break this unproductive way of thinking and behaving. It’s imperative to remember this is not an illness. Depersonalization is strictly a learned behavior, easily remedied when approached correctly.

The individual experiencing depersonalization is most likely also contending with anxiety and frustration (often mistaken for depression) and often prescribed medication, which actually prolongs recovery. The minute medication is discontinued, symptoms return. This is why it is essential to learn the correct way to break the cycle of depersonalization through behavior modification and nutrition. Once again, this is not an illness, which is precisely why medications have very little affect and in most cases exacerbate the situation.

The correct way to approach this stubborn symptom is to look at it for what it is, a tired mind, unable to refresh itself due to the strong habit of fearful worry, which further exhausts. The goal is to refresh this mind, as soon as possible, and free the person from this intrusive symptom.

When the habit of fear is broken, the fuel which maintains depersonalization is removed. The mind is immediately frees itself from the constant release of adrenaline associated with the cycle of fear, depersonalized thought and the exhausted mind.

The plan to refresh the mind is the one and only necessity for full and permanent recovery. It is achieved by a two-fold process:

(1) Learning how to unlearn the behavior of fearful thought and worry.

(2) Implementing a nutrition plan with an emphasis on boosting serotonin levels naturally and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

This combination allows an exhausted mind to refresh and symptoms fall by the wayside. It is important to unlearn a behavior that is keeping one “stuck” in this unproductive habit. The mind and body are eagerly waiting for the habit of fear to abate so it can refresh and lead to the return of clarity.

Changing the way one thinks and perceives resets the part of the brain that is always reacting to assumed dangers. New behaviors are essential since we are what we think about all day long. Un-learning unproductive thought patterns allows one true control over body reactions, which medication could never achieve.

The nutrition plan ensures a calmer more relaxed mind which contributes to a far less reactive body. Learning to boost serotonin naturally results in less reactivity to outside stresses, better sleep and a true sense of well being. Balanced blood sugar levels create a mind and body where stress reactions are not as easily triggered. Eliminating stressful substances (caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, excess sugars) allows one a mind and body that is far less likely to over-react.

Learning how to unlearn this habit is foremost in recovery and not difficult to achieve. It does not require a long or drawn out process for best results and is actually enjoyable to utilize.

The goal is to break the cycle of depersonalization, remove feelings of unreality and clear the fog. This is easily achieved by adhering to this simple, natural process, with no need for medication or long term treatment.

“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Post written by R. E. Freedman, PhD

You feel as if you are sick, concentration is difficult, even your mind feels fuzzy and foggy but something else is going on.

A wave of unreality may have fleetingly crossed through your consciousness but you were busy doing something else and it quickly disappeared.

The second time it occurred you might have been overtired, stressed at work or skipped a meal. Your blood sugar levels were low and you might have even grabbed a candy bar to fill an empty stomach or a small glass of wine to settle your nerves.

Out of nowhere, a ripple of disorientation flashes through your mind, leaving you feeling floaty and foggy. You feel as if you are witnessing your own voice, watching yourself and detached from everything and everyone around you.

A slow warm surge of fear seems to spread through your entire body and you are positive you are losing touch with reality. You hold your breath, waiting for what may occur next, believing something catastrophic has already occurred, and fearing what may follow.

This is a typical scenario surrounding the onslaught of depersonalization, and anyone who has ever experienced these sensations, both physical and emotional, well knows the fearful reaction attached to the experience. It often does impose itself in a highly alarming way, but it is ones own thoughts and reactions that establish it and fuel the initial trigger.

Triggers:

Continuous, long-term worry or stress.

Use of recreational drugs or alcohol.

Reaction from medication

Prolonged anxiety and fearful thought.

Intense anger reaction.

Overuse of stimulating foods and substances.

Unstable blood sugar levels.

Here are some helpful facts about depersonalization that will help anyone who believes:

They are ill.

Their mind is damaged.

They are stuck in a disorder and certain there is no end.

The Truth About Depersonalization/Derealization. The Facts and Only the Facts:

Depersonalization is not an illness. It never has been and never will be.

Depersonalization is the product of a tired mind, nothing more, nothing less.

Depersonalization is created by a fatigued mind, not from lack of sleep but by constant, fearful thinking.

Depersonalization is simply treatable, yet the process is specific.

Depersonalization is an offshoot of the anxiety condition but not everyone with anxiety experiences depersonalization.

There is a specific personality type that is prone to feelings of depersonalization.

Depersonalization does not require one to take medication, take aleave of absence from their job or give up normal routine.

One is not required to “take it easy” while recovering from depersonalization

Recovery is not a long, drawn out process. When approached correctly, one is pleasantly surprised at how quickly they begin to feel like their “old selves” once again.

Understanding helps, but experiencing is everything.

Even though you have read that there is someone on the internet who has experienced DP for over 40 years, odds are that this is UNTRUE.

Even though you might have heard this is something you have to learn how to live with, this is UNTRUE.

You are able to retrain the brain, refresh the mind and experience complete clarity once again…and life returns to normal.

You are able to permanently recover without the chance of recurrence.

Each and every symptom of depersonalization has a logical explanation and can be turned around. This is a fact. So, before you accept a life sentence for yourself, find out the correct facts by asking the correct questions. No one has to learn to live with either depersonalization or derealization. All that is necessary is to learn how to wrap your mind around the truth of the situation, change the way you think, the way you eat and begin enjoying life once again.

Your mind is ready, willing and able to refresh itself. The only requirement is your willingness to allow it to do so.

 ” We have the ability to create calm within, by selecting the proper foods.”

Retraining the brain to think and perceive in a better way is merely half the task when seeking full and permanent recovery from anxiety and depersonalization<strong>. Selecting the proper foods is the other half of the equation</strong>

Do not kid yourself, food can make or break both these conditions and often have the same ability as do chemical prescriptions.

By learning to use foods the correct way you gain nearly total control over the way your mind reacts. You have the choice to create a reactive mind and or one that rejects feelings of anxiety, depression or depersonalization by maintaining naturally strong levels of serotonin and balanced blood sugar in the body.

It’s as simple as that…balanced and stable blood sugar levels and replenishing serotonin levels naturally, on a daily basis…both achieved by a simple diet/nutrition formula.

A Few Simple Rules:

(1) Learn how to use protein properly in your diet. Lean protein is the key to building proper levels of serotonin in the brain. Learn to use it properly and it will change an overactive mind and body to cooler and calmer one.

(2) Never skip meals as this will lead to the release of adrenaline. Your body needs energy and will take it from this source if it cannot use food.

(3) You can and should skip the sugar, since this is what lowers serotonin levels and creates strong feelings of anxiety and often heightens depersonalization reactions.

(4) Whole grains and fiber trump white flour products because they take longer to digest, maintaining stable blood sugar levels for longer periods of time.

(5) Learn how to use your foods to provide energy, especially in the morning. This will keep you energized all day, without the wired, anxious reactions.

(6) Never fall prey to the late afternoon or early morning anxiety and heightened feelings of depersonalization. When you arm yourself with the correct foods such as lean protein, whole grains and beverages that fortify you rather than drain energy, you maintain a stable, balanced mind and body.

NOTES

– You will see immediate results within 24 hours of this food plan.

– You will no longer crave foods that heighten anxiety and depersonalization after 3 days on this food plan.

– You will feel more energized, less anxious and a stronger sense of control in your life.

– Your weight will stabilize as well. If you are overweight or underweight, your body will seek out and find its proper proportions.

– Life will become easier when you become less reactive.

– This food plan is simple, includes all the foods you already have in your own kitchen and most of all creates a strong sense of well being.
