I suffered a horrific descent into depersonalization and derealization when I was 20. The only thing that I would like to mention at this juncture is that persistent anhedonia seems to be a major contributor to the induction of DP/DR. When this is added to depression and anxiety, things really get intense. It took me over 10 years to get over my "trip". I felt like an observer from above myself while I was interacting with my environment. It was extremely distressful and produced much anxiety. It was relentless.

I have since had a few short episodes of DP/DR. Each of these episodes were induced by an increase in chronic anxiety and anhedonia.

Unfortunately, the presence of depression makes it extremely difficult to process the thoughts and feelings coming from DP/DR. When depression remits, it becomes much easier.
