hey sani, i just read your message and i’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. it sounds like you’re dealing with a lot, and that’s really tough. one thing that’s helped me in the past is to find a physical activity that you enjoy. it could be anything from dancing to your favorite music, to going for a run, or even just stretching. moving your body can sometimes help clear your mind and give you a break from the constant mental noise. it doesn’t have to be anything intense, just something that feels good to you. take care and be kind to yourself. 💜
Hello Sani, I can sense your struggle and it’s heartbreaking to read. It’s evident that you’re fighting a tough battle inside your mind. One approach that might provide some relief is engaging in creative activities. Pouring your emotions into art, music, or writing can sometimes help to externalize and process what’s going on inside. It doesn’t need to be perfect or even make sense to anyone else. The act of creating can be liberating and provide a much-needed outlet for your feelings. Remember, creativity knows no bounds and can be a powerful tool for self-expression and healing.
Sani, your words are so powerful and raw. It’s clear that you’re in a difficult place right now, and I want you to know that it’s okay to feel this way. Sometimes, when everything feels overwhelming, it can help to break things down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Focus on one thing at a time and give yourself credit for each small victory. It’s easy to get lost in the big picture, but remember that every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. You’re doing an amazing job just by holding on, and that’s something to be proud of.
it's tough out there, isn’t it? i totally get how you’re feeling like you’re outside of yourself. it can be really disorienting. something that’s helped me when i’ve felt disconnected is to find little things that bring joy. it could be a favorite song, a comforting book, or even a warm cup of tea. surround yourself with these small joys and let them remind you of the good in the world. sometimes, it’s the tiny things that can pull us back when everything feels too big. hang in there, friend.
I highly recommend you talk to someone you trust about what you’re feeling. It doesn’t have to be a professional; it could be a friend or family member. Sharing your thoughts and fears with someone who cares can lighten the load, even if just a little bit. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to go through this alone. There are people around you who love you and want to support you. Reach out to them and let them in.
Sani, your message really hit home for me. It’s clear that you’re going through a tough time, and that’s not easy. You should connect with nature. Whether it’s a walk in the park, sitting by a lake, or even just tending to a small garden, being around nature can be incredibly grounding. It helps to remind us that we are part of something larger than ourselves. Whenever you feel the weight of your thoughts, try to find a quiet spot outside and just be present in the moment. Nature has a way of soothing the soul.
Hi Sani, I can hear the pain and confusion in your words, and I want you to know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. Sometimes, life throws so much at us that it feels like we’re drowning. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and lost. Remember to take a moment to breathe, even if it’s just for a few seconds. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough. Emotions can be incredibly powerful and difficult to navigate. It’s important to be kind to yourself during these times. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer to a dear friend. You’re stronger than you think, and you have the ability to find your way back to yourself.
Consider channeling your emotions into creative outlets, whether it's writing, drawing, or even music. These forms of expression can help you process your thoughts and gain a deeper understanding of what's going on inside. It's also a way to communicate with yourself and others in a different, perhaps more profound, manner. Remember, every emotion you feel is valid, and finding a way to express them can be a step towards healing. Take care.
oh sani, my heart goes out to you. it sounds like you're carrying such a heavy burden, and it's understandable that you're feeling lost in all of this. sometimes, when we're in the thick of it, it helps to find small moments of joy or peace. maybe there's a song that lifts your spirits, or a place that brings you comfort. try to surround yourself with things and people that make you feel safe and loved. it's okay to lean on others for support, even if it's just for a little while. remember, you are not alone in this, and there are people who care about you deeply. take it one day at a time, and be gentle with yourself. sending you all my love and strength.
Hey Sani! Oh wow, it sounds like your brain has been on a wild ride! 🎢 Feeling disconnected and foggy is like being in a perpetual dream state, right? But hey, you're here, and that's what matters.
Random thoughts can be like a noisy party in your head. It's like your brain decided to throw a rave without your permission. But guess what? You're the bouncer, and you can kick them out! 💪 Feeling overwhelmed? Totally relatable

Hi,
Based on the symptoms you have mentioned depersonalisation disorder is what you are experiencing. it is basically a state of mind where you feel alienated from real life, you feel like an outsider looking at your body, everyday task becomes difficult to do and this all happens because of stress, anxiety, depression or trauma for prolonged period. Now dealing with this feeling is not easy but with the right psychiatrist you can feel like yourself again. It is best you still go to psychiatrist where she/he would ask you more questions in depth to understand your symptoms and to name it.
Psychiatrist would use various techniques and strategies to deal with it:
It's calling or activating your senses to help you feel more in touch with reality. Next time when you feel foggy just try this:
>>> Playing loud music to engage hearing
>>> Just walk from one place to another. this will help you in reducing the anxiety and bring your mind back to the present or you can just hop or job too.
>>> Holding ice cubes to feel sensation
>>> Doing 5,4,3,2,1 technique where we sit down at one place. just breathe for 2 min. Inhale through nose and exhale through mouth. calm your senses and then start observing the surrounding you are sitting in. list 5 things you see around you, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. notice minute details in the surroundings. This help you to be in touch with reality.
>>> Pinch the skin on the back of your hand to bring you back to reality
>>> Step outside and focus on sun hitting your skin. Feel that.
>>> Sit down and touch the ground.Touch the soil or mud in the ground and feel it ,the texture .
>>> Keep something hot in the hand or cold. Keep changing the temperature to shift your focus. Let it not be too hot just luke warm
>>> keep moving your eyes from left to right or rotate ti stop yourself from zoning out
>>> Look around the room and count the objects you can see and name each object.
>>> try pausing and holding your breath and meditating Pay attention to how the breath enters the body and where it passes and how it is exhaled out.
>>> Do meditation everyday.
You deserve to find a healing and way to move forward in your life. Don't hesitate to find a new therapist if you haven't been able to heal with the existing therapist.
This involves 8 phases of treatment that focus on past, present and future. Each of this phase helps in dealing emotional distress and trauma then learn skills to cope with current and future stress.
>>> Discussing the painful memories, events or experiences from the past as well anything in the current. Based on this therapist will decide which specific memory to address
>>> Next step would be to learn ways to deal with anxiety by doing mental exercises like
# Guided imagery: Sit down in a comfortable place. close you eyes. Take a few deep breath so body can start relaxing. Visualise a peaceful, calm setting such as lake or beach etc. Picturise the scene and keep adding details like warmth of sun, cold air etc. Linger in the scene for few minutes. Person can stay in the scene to relax and stay calm. once done open the eyes and stretch gently to reenter the present.
>>> Now based on the specific memory you selected, you will start identifying several components for this memory:
# A vivid mental image related to the memory
# A negative belief about yourself
# Emotions or body sensation you are having
You will have to identify a positive belief about yourself related to the mental picture of the memory and rate this belief according to how true it is. once you have strengthened your positive belief you will have to note if you have any sort of physical response while thinking of the target memory, The purpose is to identify if you have any distress. Till your distress is not completely gone you have to continue doing this.
Initially you may feel impossible but with practice and mindful movement you will be able to deal with this.
Thank you Soo much mrs@Veena Choudhary
