Next time somebody says that you can't learn anything from youtube I'm just gonna show them this video. ☺I have my matriculation examination (the final big test at the end of high school) on health education coming soon and I feel like I can use so much information from this video! This is such an amazing video and definitely something the school textbooks won't teach you. Thank you for always being you 😊💛


Yeah it's really annoying when this happens but thank you for talking about this


i really needed this today dodie. thank you so much❤❤


Ah man, I think I had several little ts and at least one big T growing up. I don't usually feel depersonalized. But derealization makes a lot of sense to me.


her channel is awesome. i'm so glad to see her here. :D


With talk therapies like the ones described, what happens if you don't really remember the specifics of traumas, especially if it happened during early childhood?


I can't imagine how awful it must feel to be constantly in a state of derealisation. I get it occasionally and i sort of go into this state of shock for a few days and I'm terrified to go through it again


I think I have derealization but some of my stuff is different to how dodie describes and I've had a perfect childhood. no trauma that I can think of and nothing recently. Is it still possible that I have it? I also currently suffer from an anxiety disorder. Thanks :) 💜


I understood a lot of things about myself, thanks a lot !


I don't personally get these feeling but learning about it is so interesting! Lovely video !


Dodie, darling, the link in the description leads back to this video. Which I love, btw. Thank you.  I just realised I had tons of derealisation phases as a child, and still sometimes now.


I've struggled with similar things for ages and I didn't know it was caused by trauma??!?! Whaaat everything makes so much more sense now.


Dodie, the link to Kati's vid sends me to this one :'(

You are not the only one struggling with trauma too. I had a lot of dissosiation problems when people seemed to get angry.
This happened because domestic violence at home when I was younger and nobody (including my dad, who was the offender) understood where it came from. It got worse the more time went on as well.
I hope you find a way that does help you so well the derealisation goes away :D


Dear everyone who is suffering:

Stay strong. That's all I can ask of you. You're beautiful and amazing, no matter if anyone says otherwise.

Dodie, I have PTSD (which for me means there are bits of what you say that resonate a bit), can you one day (only if you are comfortable to) talk about talking therapies you've tried? x


absolutely wonderful. the imagery of the splintered marble actually made me cry because I resonate with that so hard.


Omg I tried EMDR too and it was sooooo awkward. I love talk therapy but I think it might just be 'cause I'm so comfortable with it now.


Yay for awareness! I need to talk about this shit on my channel as well (my personal experience) 🤔


I only have very mild anxiety and I have mild waves of depression, but I found this so facinating x


Whatttttttttt this makes me so happy!! I love Kati and Dodie so much. Today is a good day.


I had a mixture of these growing up, I didn't understand what was going on so i'd always go to my mum and say something along the lines of  "the worlds gone weird again" and she'd just dismiss it which I don't blame her for because how would you even know how to respond to that? but I felt like the world around me was in stop motion and my individual body parts were all in different places and different sizes like if i touched my fingers they'd feel long and thin but my legs would be short and wide (which was not the actual case for either of them) after three years of on and off counselling it has become a lot less frequent and only occurs during times when I'm feeling really stressed which is good because when I was younger it'd just sort of come out of nowhere. <br>I'm happy that you've made a video about this kind of stuff because it would have been really helpful to me when I was younger and hopefully it can help other viewers! :)

I don't have any mental health problems but I found this video incredibly interesting, thank you!


i think I might be suffering from dissociation, so this is great!


I think i have depersonalisation and derealisation but it's not like 24/7 as in your case. I can be perfectly fine sometimes and then just that it comes and with it the anxiety. So it's like i don't know when it's gonna come back. But it's great you talk about it, it's great to see you're not the only one feeling like this


Heyy Dodie, my mum is a trauma therapist and a craniosacral therapist (CST). It's a therapy that involves light touches to the head and spine. It helps with anxiety and relaxation. It may help, or it may not. Everyone is different as you said. But it is worth a look into. Lots of love from Switzerland <3


I've only experienced derealisation(?) 4 or 5 times, I can't imagine being like that all the time,,, I'm sorry dodie ://


i cried when they talk about inside out. thats so true. talking and friends helps me the most. a hand on your shoulder can do wonder.


This makes me so happy 💙 I love these humans so very much


I think I have some kind of derealisation!.. Never had a word for how I feel before but I recognize like everything you said about it.. I have too look into this! :s


Incredible video!!!! Made me feel so much better


I love love LOVEEE the way dodie does her makeup it looks like she's just came inside from a cold winter night and stuck on the fire with her red nose and rosy cheeks (sorry fan girling)


Hey Dodiie thanks so much for this vid, I didn't know all of that at all and it was super interesting!

PS : For Kati's channel you put the link of the video you made on your channel haha ^^


this is so incredibly insightful, Thank you <3


this is so interesting!<br>Stuff like this will be part of a class I´m taking this year. Which means I can show off a little bit with the stuff I already know hehehe

this is so interesting!

wow. Perhaps it is cheesy to say but you do a lot of good with your channel. Well done, very well done.


I think I'm might have dissociation. It happens sporadically and not very often but all of a sudden I'll be hanging out with friends and my feelings go numb. I'm disconnected to myself, to them. It's an odd feeling and I've never really thought about it until now.


I suffer from this. It has take me years to get a diagnosed x


dodie the video link on kati's channel is wrong haha! also i LOVE how kati described with marble what a traumatic memory is like


dodie I think the link to kati's channel is wrong- it keeps bringing me back to this video.. Also, I'm so glad you made this video. it was such a nice way to talk about your mental health and what you know about it with a more outside view.. I found it really educational (: I hope you are feeling better soon!


kati seems like the most comforting person like she has so much warmth in her voice :)))


Seems my brain is still picking up pices...ha-ha..<br>Also thank you Dodie and Kati for education! :)

Also thank you Dodie and Kati for education! :)


hi im in class, and thanks for educating us instead of focusing on our work dOdIE


Watching dodie and a new dodie video comes up- this is my life


i don't know if i have derealisation, but sometimes it feels like nothing around me is real and this whole world is all just my imagination. It doesn't happen often but when it does it's scary; i don't feel as responsible for things i do or say, because the people around me "aren't real" and they are all in my head. I don't think that's a thing others struggle with though, probably just too much overthinking and contemplating life on my part. The annoying thing is is that when i'm all caught up in being super stressed from feeling alone and anxious (as i seem to be the only actual person existing), it's hard to snap out of it since no one can prove to me that they are not all just made up in my head.


OH MY GOD I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD MAKE A VIDEO WITH KATI ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS BUT I ALWAYS HIGHKEY WANTED YOU TO YES


Can you make the text pop up longer? I usually don't really mind but with these kinds of video's it's pretty useful to get enough time to read all the stuff you write on screen


this was so informative and caring and calm whoooooooop


The smashing marble metaphor was amazing. Explains a lot.


Dodie, I don't know if it's just my computer but the link to Kati's video just brings me back here. I really enjoyed this video! xx


I don't know still if derealisation is something I have experienced.I had a"episode" two years ago where felt like I was dreaming and i was ancoud snd confused abd i didn't feel like me,basically nothing madesense or felt real.I felt like that for a week. I havent experienced that since but my axienty is worse then it was before I experienced it.

Also this video did help me understand a bit better but I am still confused if that's the case with me.

Can it come from high levels of stress ?

Not everyone experiences chronically right?

Can it happen once?

If anyone can help answer these questions it would very helpful.


I loved this video, defo gonna check out Kati's channel <3


I dissociate due to panic attacks and anxiety. It's not 24/7 but it's scary and for those who do experience that constantly, you are incredibly frickin strong. It's an awful feeling yet here you are living life everyday through this foggy dreamlike world.


Shit, you started talking about depersonalisation and I noticed that as a child I had that really badly, especially after something really stressful. I'd look at my hand and just begin to burst out sobbing and it was just horrible. Lucky I'm all good now, but now I know


Do I have depersonalization? I zone out a lot when I'm going through too much🤔


(only for dodie haha) But actually thank you so much for everything and just videos. and stuff, i mean i know you wont see this but still, i am going through many things and friendship break ups which bother me but not that much cause I know that they didnt need me and im glad that im finding my way? Im not doing any types of treatment or anything im just finding myself- like i said before. haha im sorry im not very talented at writing things. ive been going through hard times and good times my chest just feels empty and i think a lot now which i dont think is very healthy but thats ok. but i just wanted to say thank you so much for everything i mean gosh i really do your videos and music just help me so so much and i love you very much. thank you we all love you dodie!


is depersonalization(or like a form of it) when you look in the mirror and you don't know why you are you? like you question yourself, and why you can't be someone else, you question your name, etc?


This helps a lot Sadly I can’t mention to anyone that I have this so I am trying to take care of it my self


BTW the top link for the video on Kati's channel is wrong, it sends you back to this video! (can you like this so she sees?)

Loved the video, really interesting to hear you talk more about this :) I hope one of the treatments works for you!


my therapist said that i'm just a moody teenager (i didn't completely open up bc i was too scared) and my family//friends don't care or won't help so that's greatttttt


gosh that inside out metaphor about the marbles just helped me figure out some things about myself i just had a revelation lmao


loved this video dodie :) buuuttt when i click the link for the vid on kati's channel it just takes me back to this one? anyone else having this problem/ could tell me kati's channel name so i can find it?


When I saw Katie in your snaps I thought omg I hope they collab and you did yay


EMDR helped me so much🌷 thank you so much for this Video


when she mentioned Inside Out i suddenly realised her voice is actually a lot like Joy's!


I WAS TALKING TO MY MUM ABOUT THIS 5 MINUTES AGO !


I spend the majority of dodies videos going back and pausing to read the little things she writes lol


Is there a term or an official mental illness for not being able too see the world we live in as the real world. I mean it's not like a video game but just.... as if there is a snapchat filter on the world so your mind makes it look more pretty as it is. Forgetting the bad things you hear and see and remembering the good and fun ones. But as our mind refreshes itself at night the bad things it decided to throw out turn into nightmares... kinda what I'm experiencing.  I have allot of nightmares.


Just so you know Dodie (and it might just be me finding this) the link to your video on Kati's channel links back to your own video. Just maybe check to make sure because my computer is fucked and it's probably just me.


i have really bad constant derealisation and anxiety but my parents aren't very supportive of me and i can't really tell them about my issues because they get mad at me, but i really need help and i'm slowly getting more and more suicidal... does anyone have any advice for me?


i interrupted my friends marathon for this and 100% worth it


what's the thing when you feel constantly tired and your there but not really there... it's hard to explain


Well now I know I have derealisation, lol


I was in the middle of texting and got the notification for this, i still havent texted them back.... whoops 😹❤


is there like.. a time when you're walking, and then just stop, but you still walking and then you think that someone else is jusy controlling your body? is that a thing?


Already liked it without watching yet :3


jesus i relate??? for some reason wow does this mean i have the stuff?? :/


Fantastic video...though the link in the description returns to this one!


I'm sure you did this by accident but the link to Kati's video links back to here. Thought you should know, friend <3


~i learned something todayyyyyy~ isn't that exciting?


I think you've put the wrong link in the description dodie it keeps bringing me back to this one :) x


the link in the description redirects to this video, not her video :)


I'm so sorry if i sound ignorant, i have no mean to, but have you tried hypnosis or meditation or something similar? Cuz i feel like meditation is great for (re)connecting with yourself or your environment. Again, just asking, I'm no expert


I know you put words up really quickly for comedy effect but I can't read that quick hahaha! 😂🙈


hey, the video link to Kati's channel just links you back to this one.. cONSPIRACYYYYY!


the only person i have is my mum and i dont feel comfortable talking to her i feel so alone and stuck


the link in de description isn't the link to the video on kati's channel :)


I loved the video and everything, but this is kind of a non-related note:<br>dodie, the link in the description says "our vid on kati's channel" but i tried to click and it got me to this video again...

the link for her channel is the link for your video 😉


what is katies channel? the link takes me to your video lol :)


I've had depersonalisation since I was 8 and it sUCKS


The link to her channel isn't working for me what's her username?? X


the link on the description to Kati's channel is wrong, Dodie. It leads to this video again.


Does the link to katis channel not work for anyone else?!


The link is wrong, soo what was the name of Kati's channel?


I thought everyone felt derealisation before this vid hahahahaha fuck


the link in the description doesn't work


the link is to your video dodes, not hers


p.s. dodie the video link in description is wrong


Jesus fucking Christ. Why can't my therapist be like her? My therapist said my realisation isn't real because I found it on the internet. Let me tell you lady.  ITS FUCKING REAL.


ive had it since february and its reaaally there

Yes drugs can cause dpdr like symptoms. They usually will go away as the high fades, but if it doesn't, please talk to a psychiatrist!! xoxo


ffs this woman aint a doctor dodie darling speak to a psychiatrist, you gave up on zoloft too quickly. Zoloft afftects everyone  like that at the start, you have to give it a longer amount of time to truly test it. Its hard and shitty yes but giving it on meds too quick is a fatal mistake. Hope a doctor you know personally can explain this is more detail.


It's like you're not here but not any where either


the link in the description is the link to this video so i can't find kati's channel rip
