Sadly it is off, and on forever. Just have to find ways to cope with it when it gets too bad.
i know it sucks sometimes. but hey, it could be a lot worse.

I think its pretty common when you're smoking, and sometimes lingers after smoking. I always feel pretty derealized when im smoking. Like nothing has any consequence whatsoever. Just maintain your weed break and see if some of the fog clears up. Good luck bud

Its just a negative mindset you let yourself get into, because of what sounds like a mix of drug abuse and just life getting to you in general. The latter of the two is unavoidable and the only thing you can do is learn to cope. But drugs can really mess things up in your head if you use them wrong. Weed for me, when I would smoke daily and in large amounts, kicked me into a 2 year period of DP and depression, how I over came it was, really just two things, I went sober for a year, and just getting use to the fact that everything, is subjective, and just an exertion of your own mind.
You need to set a goal, think what you want, what you want to change, what you want more of and what you want less of and then make an active effort to do little things that you think will make those then happen/not happen, Just take baby steps, wake up and think of the things you want to do and then do them not that hard, then little by little things will unfold into what you want. Only you have the power to change things in your life, don't waste it!
I took a lot of positive steps and got out of that cycle, I feel amazing 96.8% of the time, like most people should, I would do a few things if you can.
1. Lay of the drugs 2. Pick up a hobbie 3. Spend as much time as you can active, away from TVs internet and cell phones as you can. 4. Explor yourself sober, really work on understanding why you feel the way you do.
I get a lot of positivity from eastern philosophy and the lesions I learned have really made my life better, and helped me grow as a person I feel.
In short it will go away, if you take positive steps to let it go away.

Yeah I used to have 20/20 vision all throughout high school. They tested us like every year. always 20/20.. Then I did a bunch of LSA from HBWR and forgot what I did ( I think stared into bright lights, or was on the computer) and my vision has never been the same.. I think it was from the dilation of pupils being huge and staring into complete brightness...
only have to wear them in class when I sit in the back.. kinda like em make me look like a skater nerd.

depersonalization made me less socially anxious when going around in public situations. i trained myself to be totally aware of the moods of the people around me, and if they were negative i could send some of my personality outward through my body language or something.
drugs are fucking weird man, they sometimes take your sense of self away but then again selflessness might be a better thing for such a shit society (depends on where you live)

Heh, LSA fucked my vision up also. Its the only psychedelic that ever did that to me, after i used it my vision got blurry and never cleared up.
Anyway i love weed. It makes everything look funny, makes me super depersonalized and gives me intense euphoria. When i was smoking daily for about a year DP was normal and enjoyable. I always thought it would go away when i quit smoking though, and now that im 3 weeks sober its still here. The weird thing is some days i barely have it and some days I have it REALLY bad, and on days when its really bad i feel like ive had it forever (cant remember how "normal" feels), but shit its always there.

I do have to say....the title to your thread is awesome 
but as for it lasting forever, no. Impossible.
It may even be gone in your lifetime.

Haha, didn't even think about it but if there was an album called "Depersonalization is Forever" I would totally buy it

I had pretty bad DP when I died on LSD (egodeath) and smoked weed after
had to quit the weed to get rid of it :-)
weed intensified it a lot, don't miss everyday smoking either
took maybe 6-8 months without drugs to feel somewhat normal again
but I liked the feeling of 'not normal' , one with everybody, no thoughts/worries, reborn 
would recommend LSD to anybody... DP won't matter because the old personality was destructive, the new one isn't

I don't think it's usually permenent. Have lots of good brain foods like eggs, fish, and nuts. Meditation would probably help as well as some type of physical activity that you enjoy.
Good luck dude.

Meditation definitely helped... walk/sit in nature everyday, it helps
and stopping drug use for a good while is important it seemed, weed intensified it much, too much, had to quit it
only do drugs when your life situation supports it, when you feel on top of life...
else weed isn't pleasant .. :-)
I would recommend using the DP to your advantage, build a new personality do what you love, know what you love,... do everything you always wanted, but was limited by before by your fear/thoughts be who you really are

It depends on how far you are gone. When I bought a sheet one time and consumed it over the course of a couple months, all while eating mushrooms and RC's, it lasted a couple years for me while smoking bud every day. Then one day, I woke up, burned a fatty, and didn't notice it again.
That is, until my terrible Salvia trip during the spring that left me pretty rattled, which is still affecting me.

You need to stay away from drugs if you got DP...
until you feel good again IMO, can take years
taking any drug will make it 10x worse, with the possibility of destroying your life/social life how can you interact with others if you don't know who you are yourself?
I took a 6-8 month break iirc, but even after that time it wasn't gone took about 2 years to rebuild most of my personality

For some reason I have a feeling kratom would help with this..

it does a little bit. not as good as benzo's at least.
but in my experience the best way to deal with depersonalization, is to accept that it is a part of your life, then forget that you even have it. you kind of have to just find out how to cope with yourself.

This is what I was thinking. I know its kind of a cliche response but I think meditation would be. Immensely beneficial. The entire practice is centered around focusing on your surroundings and grounding yourself. Which seems exactly like what they all forgot to do.

Mind if I ask how you all developed DP? The whole concept of it is pretty lost on me. I mean, I know the basics, but trying to imagine it or how you obtain it is hard
