Hey there first time writer here sorry in advance and side note English is not my first language 😅 .
So I 21F have brother 26M this all began around a year ago when he started to complain about his eyes and head hurting than it was his mussels around the body so he went to see the doctor got all the tests done ( blood work, MRI , CT… ) but nothing came out.
So we moved to the therapist and massages for the muscle because we figured it must be som trauma response. *For any of you wondering yes we did have some traumatic experiences in our childhood but who didn’t and as far as I can tell and remember it wasn’t that dramatic. * . Nothing seemed to help and by this time most of our close family is trying to help to figure it out.
Than one day I was chatting with him and he told me ,, I was talking to grandpa and he told me that he knows what I’m talking about and he had the same issue,, I was shocked but happy because we might get some answers maybe . It came out that my brother is going through depersonalization /dissociation . It used to happen to me and I’m pretty sure most of you know this feeling it’s like when you’re looking at your life but it feels off like you’re just the observer , hint the trouble with eyes that he was complaining about.
Right now he is doing some therapy work but he is to stuck in this situation that he quit his job, can’t stand music in car ,barely goes out if so just in car he doesn’t like to walk bc he says he can feel the vibrations from walking in his head and it hurts.
My thoughts on this and yea some of you may find it bit harsh but I think that he needs to experience something drastic like jump off a plane or extreme rollercoaster or something that feel like you’re going to die but you make it because I think that he feels like he is dying now and need to understand that this is not the end of the world and there is so many things to see that he is missing out of .
Has any one of you experience something similar if so how did you got out ? Any advice helps thank you all so much <3
