Default Multiple concussions dpdr disorder

Hello everyone, I am new on the forum, happy to be here and hope you will help me a bit to understand what happened to me.

I was an amator motocross rider during my youth (from 8 to 18 years old) and suffered multiple concussions (4 KO and others subconcussive hits).

I had over 3 years some PCS for sure (memory, headache and so on). But currently my main issues are the depersonalization and derealisation states.
It consumes me literaly, because it is like i ve lost a part of myself ans can't interact with the physical world anymore.

So I would like to know if someone has already dealt with that and recovered. (Even years after)

I question myself if it can be a stress delayed response of my brain from past injuries (because at that time I wasn't really affected by them because I was a child)
Or maybe the worst : CTE??
Is it physiological (permanent) or psychological (treatable-linked to how the brain cells are interconnected- functional)?

I have already done CT scans- MRI (neck / head) - fmri and everything seems to be ok

Thank you

Hello Theo#245

Welcome to NeuroTalk, though sorry to hear of the concussions.
We also have a PCS forum and so I placed a copy of your post there as well.
Here is the link to it:

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

What is dpdr disorder?

Do you mean depersonalization and derealisation? I've never heard either called a disorder.

My first question is simple.

How is your sleep? Not hours of sleep.

Do you get deep restful sleep?

Insomnia and disturbed sleep is a common struggle for people with a history of concussions.

Do you know if you are breathing properly during your sleep?

Do you have access to a Fit Bit or other worn body monitor to see how your body acts during sleep?

Do you consume energy drinks or caffeine drinks?

I have more questions but these need to be discussed first.
