I found the cure for depersonalization and derelization?

as you know there is no medicen and alot of people who have this disorder suffer for there whole life and got to this disorder through trauma or from smoking weed.

I think this is the answer no one has been able to figure out. THIS IS NOT A DISORDER BUT MERLY YOU HYPNOTISED YOURSELF INTO THIS STATE OF MIND? what do you think
Answer:
I would argue that weed is not generally a contributing factor, but you are right when you say it is a lot like self-hypnosis. That's precisely what dissociation is actually and many of the things that I suggest a person try to stop the depersonalization involve grounding and mindfulness, which is the antithesis of detachment and dissociation. You're not far off the mark at all.
Here's an excerpt from my previous posts which supports your theory and suggests some concrete things you can do:

It is also has a relationship to “trance” and can be brought on by significant periods of sleep deprivation or other “trance-inducing” activities that require extreme and prolonged focus and concentration, like addicting computer games or monotonous and routine activity, both of which I believe are related. “Trance-inducing activity” leads to an altered state where there is reduced sensitivity to your surroundings. (Just think of "highway hypnosis"-this is pretty common and normal, but lasts briefly, though it shares many of the same features)
There's a good chance that Depersonalization will resolve on its own without intervention, particularly if it’s brief and hasn’t become habitual. However, a longer duration suggests that treatment aimed at helping you reconnect with yourself may be beneficial. Often times, depersonalization becomes a chronic way of coping with overwhelmingly uncomfortable or painful feelings and disconnecting from the experience of them, hence its frequent occurrence in response to trauma. Depersonalization is a frequent and common symptom associated with PTSD and also extreme anxiety and functions as a defense against the intense feelings people experience during abuse, life-threatening circumstances and extreme anxiety and panic and protects a person from becoming completely overwhelmed. People often "trance out" when under stress, and it functions to decrease their awareness of and sensitivity to distressing experiences, like the "freeze" response seen in trauma victims. (Just think of the teenager who "tunes out" when a parent or other person is berating them with criticism-they hear it, but don't really react to it). Therapy can be especially helpful if there is a history of emotional abuse that depersonalization helps you escape as it can become a familiar and almost automatic process that gets triggered by emotional arousal. In that way, it becomes a disorder as it serves to keep a person detached from their own experiences and disconnected from their sense of self. Therapy aims at making this a less automatic process and helping people reconnect to their emotions, their body and their sense of self and learning other ways to cope and self-soothe so that dissociation is no longer a “knee-jerk” reaction to emotional triggers.
Things you can do involve grounding yourself in various ways. "Mindfulness" is excellent and is simply being in the moment and concentrating on all the sensations you are aware of in order to ground you both in the present and in your body (Eg: doing the dishes: concentrate on the temperature of the water, the smell of the dish detergent, the feel of the glass or ceramic you're holding, notice the soap bubbles, etc.) It can break the "trance" effect when you are experiencing depersonalization. Another tip is to keep your eyes moving-frequently when we are stressed and "freeze" our gaze becomes fixed, or locked, and this induces the hypnotic "trance" state. Keep your eyes moving and avoid becoming transfixed or staring at a single object. Using a journal or meditative practices that seek to connect you with yourself, being in touch with your feelings and even your physical state, as well as your emotional self, can help reconnect you and ground you. Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation is excellent as it treats both the disconnectedness as well as being the single most effective technique for stopping a panic attack. Hope this helps, but please seek out a therapist who can assist you further if you suffer from continued panic and depersonalization.
Hope this helps.
smoking weed as never done this to me--stop spreading lies unless you can back it up with facts
I think you need to go back to school and learn how to spell. They do have spell check on this website you know! Aside from that, your statement has no merit or proof to back it up. Get a life!
It's not a disorder, this is true. Life is like a dream. Out of context. missing a spiritual teaching --- which is dangerous in and of itself. this becomes a problem rather than a realization.
I clicked on this question with great hope and was sorely disappointed. I take it you have never suffered from it?

Edit:- but is it an idea thats just sprung to your mind, or have you found the way to "dehypnotise" yourself and become 100% personally cured. You havn't stated a cure you've just given an idea as to its cause. Hypnotising yourself may be a small part of it, but I think it is more complex than that. Personally i got mine from faulty yoga exercises and a bit of weed. These do something to change your brains structure permanently.
