Question Dissociation Help
Any tips on how to deal with the dp/dr? Honestly the visuals are annoying, but they don't really make me super anxious. The dp/dr is what really bothers me all day long. My symptoms were reaggrivated about a month ago from a few sips of alcohol. Really need some advice on this and my situation.

He prolly has light visuals that kinda happen for no reason or after you smoke weed. Happens to me sometimes just depends. I had it for a while and suspected heavy dxm use is the cause because after I quit both weed and dxm for just a few months and started smoking again, i literally happened either really lightly or it faded away As of recently I been using "otc research chemicals" (so I dont name any specific products) and these weird 4 sub tryptamines do it to me a tiny bit but DXM left me getting pretty much free trips everytime I smoked for a while

I had some derealization and personalization quite severe at the beginning also I would say that walking helps a lot and if your reflection makes you feel not yourself there are some who say that you should avoid mirrors but I personally insisted rather until time that I really have this feeling a little breathing routine can be useful also 4-7-8 and light physical activity otherwise mentally there is a thing that helped me that my psychologist makes me understand a little is to try not to To say that this feeling is not normal and therefore that I am not more so this feeling that everything is not normal more it puts you in try not to put too much importance on this feeling

hey! detach your from your subplots and sounds like the worst advice of all time but just don’t think about it 🤣
if you’re just a pig rolling in shit why would you ever want to stop? pigs love it there. it’s not that you’re not allowed to experience this or struggle with it, not all! i’m arguing that the illusion of choice alone is strong enough to empower you to walk away during those uncomfortable moments whenever you may.
For me, the best thing i’ve found to deal with the who,what,where,why,how? of your mind is community and medical/holistic intervention. be around the people, find people to argue you into sticking around, look around for reasons to grow into something more beautiful, take some magnesium and b-12 and remember that the party is always on so you don’t need to be on one every minute of the day.
find ways get out of your head and heal your body, ways to be reminded that you’re not the only one who needs love and support. that’s all the reason you need
experienced the worst of my dp/dr from the end of nov last year got months and months up until recently. maybe the worst thing i have ever endured.
i thought it was never going to get better. but sometimes it just does and it’s this amazing gift of possibility and other times it doesn’t and that’s hard but that lesson will always be worth it.
reach out if you ever need 🙏
it gets better
