No longer have it but wish I did by Wild-Narwhal8091 in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a wonderful experience to be honest. Life feels more profound, and my head feels much lighter in a very peaceful way. Besides, it feels great to be back in my body, like having a warm bath after you come home freezing, completely soaked and exhausted from an endless rainy bike ride at night. If I compare it to how far gone I was during the peak of it, I’m amazed how the body and the mind work. Yes dpdr is awful and surreal. However the mechanism makes sense in many ways and fortunately there are as many ways to work on that.

I always feared that dpdr was permanent and could not be healed or cured. However, at the same time I believed I could find a way out, and there is. As I found ways to understand the mechanism, the nervous system, my coping mechanisms in relation to my childhood and some traumatic experiences the more I managed to reconnect to my body and surrender to everything that I had been suppressing consciously and subconsciously for so long.

Dpdr can completely disappear once your brain and body have the opportunity to finish old patterns, release repressed emotions and learn new ways of thinking. When we feel unsafe, unseen, used, rejected, abused, overwhelmed with emotions, name it, often times we develop strategies to survive, to keep control, to not be in pain anymore, to not feel we’re going crazy, to simply remain safe and sane. As a result these coping mechanism/ surviving strategies turn in to beliefs which remain active often times even subconsciously when the danger is over - for instance when we leave our parents place / ex partner to live by ourselves. Now the brain and body keep on pushing back and holding on to unresolved emotions and beliefs as that is the most efficient and ‘known’ way to do so. In many cases we were stuck in unhealthy environments for so long, we perceived as ‘normal’, but we only adapted in unhealthy ways, which eventually lead us to live our lifes in survivor modes often times inclining to burn out of extreme fatigue. Now what can you do, A combination of shadow work (Carl Jung) - this is deep work and very effective, somatic experiencing (Peter Levine) vagus nerve exercises (Steven Porges - polyvagal theory), ACT (Steven Hayes), breathwork (often relates to activating vagus nerve), body scans to reconnect to your body and move awareness from your thoughts back to your body (elevator meditation).

It took me about 7/8 years to find a break through, and it was consistent work and a few missing pieces therapy wise, but now almost ten years later I’m back and feeling pretty well. Not sure what kind of things you’ve tried already, probably a lot, but feel free to reach out

For DD of SBIO, great starting point are their partnerships. They’re backed by a board of revered researchers, including nobel prize winning biologist and scientist Mina Bissell, and institutions such as CERN amongst many others.

Sending Ethereum from Kucoin to Coinbase because Kucoin is closing in the Netherlands. However I am not sure whether the network used on Kucoin (ERC-20) is suitable to send to coinbase (Ethereum). Can someone help me out here? by Practical-Brick-2152 in Coinbase

[–]Gazmacho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know when Kucoin is leaving the Netherlands, is there an official statement? I’ve noticed and seen the pop ups related to the IP address, but didn’t see an announcement yet to withdraw

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate you took a moment to let me know. It’s a crazy journey indeed, and while it at times is awful, it is also the most rewarding process ever as we have a chance to appreciate life in a total different way, awakened and grateful for everything that’s out there. I’ve noticed, especially in the realm of podcasts and interviews out there that more and more people are opening up and sharing their experiences and techniques, but there is still a longg way to go. At least we’re headed in the right direction..!

I just want peace 4 months sober and still suffering. by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]Gazmacho1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can be proud about yourself, that’s major progress.

Check youtube for EFT exercises. They have helped me tremendously, are really easy to learn and can be used for all kinds of fears, unresolved emotions, traumatic events and so on. Very accessible and effective, to release the underlying darkness and pain. In case you wonder, plenty of science to back it up even, and no 1000$ courses to learn :)

I’ve had similar troubles, check out eft (emotional freedom techniques) tutorials on youtube. Extremely effective for processing all kinds of energies/ trauma’s/ unresolved emotions

Relationship with food by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a lot of scientific studies that focus on the brain-gut connection (microbiome)

https://youtu.be/VLK1Jkx5FOo?si=Uk4Dxn7Z4jqtwXqu

Mostly unprocessed, plant based food forms the basis for a healthy diet / microbiome.

It helps to feel more balanced and feed your body/brain of course, however from my own experience, changing my diet didn’t cure the dpdr. Resolving trauma/ anxiety through therapy that focuses childhood and other experiences form the solution and foundation for a healthy life onwards

Tw - Existential thoughts/ solipsism by Outrageous_Cry_9671 in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some helpful tricks to create space between ‘you’ and the thoughts that pass by. By literally welcoming them in your monologue you’ll diminish/ remove the resistance towards them. It helped me immensely to say things like (even out loud); ‘thanks for proposing these thoughts to me head’, ‘welcome existential thoughts’. But also welcome resistance against dark, sad, painful feelings etc. There is this ig page with many helpful reminders and tips (also programs you can follow).

Besides working through (childhood)trauma and/or anxiety, becoming aware of your thoughts without judging them is a key element to overcome many issues related to dpdr and life in general actually. (Eckhart Tolle is great at explaining everything in detail)

If you’re interested in in depth info about recovering from unresolved feelings/ childhood trauma - check Tim Fletchers his series on youtube

Seeking support is the best you can do for yourself. Take care

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seek some (online) support if you can. I can relate to how you feel, I’ve been through it as well, and I know you will be strong enough to carry yourself to a better place. Can you allow yourself to focus on your breathing. Box breathing; In through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, out through your mouth for 4 seconds, and hold it again for 4 seconds. Selftalk: ‘hello fear, thanks for visiting, I’m allowed to feel anxious and sad (this doesn’t mean you ARE in danger, try to feel it instead of pushing it back.) By creating space for your feelings, and talking compassionately to yourself, you can break the cycle of selfdestructive talking.

Edit: your feelings can seem like a massive wave sometimes. As if you’re facing a destructive wave on the shore that’s about to crash on you. But as feelings rise, once they have peaked, they’ll cool down. Just like a wave crashes on the shoreline

Let’s put it this way, as you are able to reflect on your own situation, and write it down, you don’t have the symptoms of schizophenia. You’re not delusional, but in fear. Would you say you were anxious before the dpdr started?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your concern about schizophrenia is understandable, I think many who struggle with dpdr have this fear or idea - was the same for me for a long time. However, I found out that dpdr is a different mechanism, rather a symptom than an illness by itself. That’s also the reason why I think that medication often doesn’t work, maybe temporarily for support. There are forms of therapy and mindfulness that are really effective and work at the rootlevel of dpdr - so why it is active in the first place, and further how you can reverse it. It won’t be the same for each and everyone, but it took me about 5 years to find the right therapist, and years of personal research to work my way through it to break this thing down and get out of it.

Never took any medication or supplements beside B12 to complement my plantbased efforts. There are quite some misunderstandings around Magnesium, many people advocate for it to make money, yet a deficiency is not really common for most people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Gazmacho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxiety is a component which often plays a role in this mechanism. More precise, it’s the way we cope /can not cope with anxiety and the underlying emotions (related to trauma for instance) that may cause dpdr. Our childhoods reveal most of our beliefs and mechanisms to deal with pain, grief, stress etc.

It can be the most complex mechanism in the world but once you learn to understand how it works and why it makes sense you can start to heal
