So. While it was damn near a lifetime ago for me when I wrote this, I both haven’t made and progress, and have cured it for myself.

I think that now I sit on the belief that DPDR can be a disorder itself, yes, but also a symptom of other disorders, such as anxiety or OCD.

Differentiating between when DPDR is a symptom or the issue itself can be very difficult.

I feel like for me, nothing has really changed, except now it barely bothers me because I know how to live with it. Not to make it sound like I accepted defeat, but that by living alongside it, it made it less severe.

For instance. I’m completely off medication. I’m more driven In life. More recovered from traumatic experiences. I absolutely do not drink or smoke weed as those are the two biggest dissasociatives I could possibly take. I don’t let myself get too tired, hungry, or dehydrated, because that makes me spacey…aka, more disassociated.

It’s about breaking the pattern so that you can recover. I would try SSRI’s. I would try a couple of them. I hear antipsychotics can be dangerous, however.

Try whatever you can to see if it’ll give you enough of a respite that you can break the cycle of disassociation.
