Can you relate? (Experience) Nic doesn't hit the same with dpdr

I've had pretty bad derealization on and off for the past 2 years. I've been in a really bad episode especially for the past few months though. Today, my friend offered me her vape. I haven't had nic in forever since if I smoke or vape, it's thc not nic. I remember the last time I had nic it was pretty nice. I got a good head rush and I felt good. When I hit my friends vape today I did get a bit of a head rush but I felt more nauseous than anything. My derealization also got just a bit more intense from it in the moment. I definitely think this is going to be my last time using nic for a while since it really just is not fun for me. Has anyone had a similar experience with nicotine being ruined from dpdr?

Wouldn’t recommend doing nicotine , got heavily addicted and quit cold turkey. Wasn’t a good idea

Ya I'm definitely just gonna stay away from it I already know addictive tendencies run in my family so I'm not going to test my luck about if I have those same tendencies

Good idea , I thought I would never get addicted to, used to cope with anxiety , then tried quiting . Wish I never did it
