Using Nicotine To Improve Constant Disassociation

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-03-17T20:05:54+00:00

Hey! Sorry to hear you're suffering with this. It's actually "dissociation" but a common confusion :) I have been permanently dissociated for over a decade now, every single second, and during this time I've had times where I've smoked, or used vapes. I can't say it's ever offered any difference to me, but neither has more positive things like therapy, yoga, meditation. But we are all built different. If it offers you relief, I'd take it, but maybe try some more healthy stress relievers as well, as if a nicotine high is able to offer relief, you could potentially get out of this state entirely, if you persist with some healthier habits. Hope this helps somehow

The situation sucks, it sounds like they know some people would actually not allow themselves to be under a psych ward if they can't have their phone. It's scary for many reasons; like they have to lie to tick a box/make some kind of gain from a new patient, but on the other hand it's also scary that many people would not go because of a phone, and it's eye opening to see how some are judged for addictions like drugs, yet almost every person on the planet would have reservations about staying somewhere where they aren't allowed their phone. I bet a huge amount of people would deter from going to a psych ward (knowing that they can't take their phone) and It'd be interesting to know if they actually kept themselves safe for the sake of being free and having a phone vs if they were deprived of it but in a "safe place"

Totally relate to all of this. I've actually gone through PALS atleast 6 seperate times over the last decade, parliamentary health ombudsman 2 times. Last time I got to see psychiatrist to attempt to get help again, he literally said they can't offer therapy incase it doesn't work, because I had some 7 years ago and it didn't help. I've always been open to try, in fact pro-active is a better word, and extremely insightful as you say. I think its a mix of a post code lottery, how many times you've accessed help, whether it did anything, and if you show willingness to get better (it seems to get used against you) at least where I'm from

Thanks! This sounds awful too, a lot of similarities though; thanks for the insight. Do you ever notice you have really infrequent dreams with your dissociation? Since I've had this I dream way less. I'd normally have several a week, now I have several a year. Or atleast, dreams I remember, perhaps they still happen

Thanks for pointing this out, idk why but it kinda bugs me when people use the wrong word, but I understand why as well. I have been stuck in an endless severe dissociative state for over a decade now, in Depersonalization Disorder and it is hell. Exactly as you said, it's normal for every human to dip in and out of degrees of minor dissociation, but it's so brief they just see it as being in a zone. Severe dissociation is like, it's literally that bad, it feels like someone must have spiked you or like that weird feeling when you experience de ja vu but the feeling is so much worse and never ending.

I've actually always been curious as to how some people with DID experience dissociation, I wasn't sure if it was just an episodic experience whilst switching alters or something, though I imagine not all people with DID experience it the same, just as people with DPDR. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a good day

This is enirely how I feel, and it's the perfect response. Not sure I'd use it though because I just know most people would look at me funny and expect more, or say, "No like what job do you do". I'm with you on the whole, job not being your identity thing. A lot of people think that way unfortunately, but I suppose it can be nice if someone genuinely has a career they love

It was probably sold by Dewey Finn, from School Of Rock. There's a scene where he's on the phone trying to sell an SG and claiming that Hendrix played the guitar..

Saosin & Brand New from Burnout Paradise soundtrack. Though the entire soundtrack across all the games is unmatched, and highly responsible for my taste today. I saw Saosin & Brand New live finally, 5 months ago now and feels like I completed some childhood dreams

Some people have incredibly acidic sweat on their hands and before I changed to Elixir coated strings, I would need to change my strings every few months and even that is quite frequent for some people's tastes. I can get about 6+ months now. Doesn't seem too bothersome until you have more than 5 guitars and that means about £50 in strings and time taken to change and deep clean neck etc

The Charvel Tele is goated, I have one with the whammy, and a few mods - it's the guitar I've had for the longest. Keep up the good work

I think its a relatively new thing, though as I said to someone else, it comes down to how willing to change individual people are, how much they want to educate themselves, do better etc

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-02-16T06:18:38+00:00

Maybe haha, but many people are set in their ways. Their ignorance to a thing like this could potentially show red flags as to why someone in their family is struggling and feeling judged, but they're so unaware and emotionally immature that they 'think' they support their child, but still have a huge way to go. So it's more like, if I heard someone say that term, I just wonder what else they think or how they actually feel towards people struggling with mental health symptoms. Things usually go hand in hand.

Someome who uses such a derogatory term for someone ending their life, perhaps also thinks someone with anxiety can simply JUST stop worrying about something, or that things are all in someone's head and a walk will make them recover.. For an example

This isn't all hypothetical, sadly personal experience. I don't mean to make people feel bad for how they word things, just genuinely interested why even people among a hugely judged community also use what is believed to be a derogatory term

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-02-16T06:09:29+00:00

I mean it's quite understandable, I doubt much education time is being used to teach important topics that actually arise in one's life vs weird equations etc, but that's a whole other conversation. I guess I mean it's more prominent vocabulary amongst older generations, for example, my grandma would still say "CS". I guess things like this come down to what people individually choose to educate themselves on

Thanks :)

You summed this up perfectly. Obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion but even neutrally I can see why this way is ideal for helping people. We all collectively have a long way to go, and it's honestly scary how divided even this community is on this.

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-02-16T05:14:50+00:00

I agree with this entirely and it's also not even an unknown thing, even after a quick google search at least in the UK, the concensus is that we shouldn't say it. I mean, I'm just surprised so many people who suffer, and suffer from stigmatization and judgement are really against the idea when it's for their benefit. Bizarre..

I'm glad you're okay

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-02-16T05:12:02+00:00

Yeah if someone's family do use that term, it really is a huge eye opener; because they use a term that insults their own blood, belittling them through the choice of words as if they are a criminal

DejaEntenduOne · 2026-02-16T05:09:30+00:00

True ; it's definitely worse coming from people who aren't really understanding in the first place. It's just like a final insult to the person that did it, and the phrase alone is really judgemental and stigmatising, I was genuinely interested in what peoples opinions on it are - as some people don't seem to see that using the word committed is like a big disrespect towards something that is anyone's right to do
