when does the depersonalisation end

@leyla2404

I'm familiar with situations like yours, where parents put a lot of pressure on their child, even when the child is already an adult. Your situation is complicated, but you need to understand that you have a say in this. Even if your parents are against it, you’re already 26 and you can do whatever you want. That might sound harsh, but it’s true. They might feel embarrassed that you didn’t pass the test, but you’re actually more relaxed about it yourself, aren’t you? At the very least, to regain control of the situation, start by doing small things. Brush your teeth, do some exercises, meditate, pray, and say encouraging words to yourself. Literally, one step at a time. And do this to gradually become more confident. And one more thing: don’t compare yourself to others. They have their own situations. You’re on a different path, and you’re doing great, too. You’ll figure this out.

Yes Leyla2404. There are many people who feel just like this. Thank you for sharing, I can understand how difficult this is. And it is ok. It’s ok to take a break and just not want to be around people anymore. But use this time to rediscover you.

To sit with oneself in peace and love is a journey we all should take. If we understand who we are on the inside we can plant the seed for what we are actually needing in the tribe we seek.

There are a lot of great podcasts out there and famous writers giving away their books. Broken down and just here take these building points see what’s out there for you to build from. Mel Robbin’s, Alison Wood Brooks, free speeches. All from your phone.

The more you question the more answers you get. Through this darkness your body will bear its light. It just takes one spark, one quote one event that wills you out of bed. Use this step as a step forward.

Best wishes

Hello, I’ve experienced something similar various times. Though it may have not lasted as long as 3 years I focus on taking small steps. Productivity & exercise has always helped me feel motivated & helped my mood improve as well even if it was temporary. Consistency can be hard when you’re really struggling but as long as you make small commitments everyday I think it can really boost your own self esteem. As everyone else said, despite your parents having a stigma around mental health you are grown and you know what you feel is real, and it’s okay to seek help. Do the best you can, be gentle with yourself and take care 🩵
