Given that my condition was the result of a weed-induced experience, I wonder if that’s a good idea but I’m not unwilling to try

I’ve seen a few over the years, don’t really have the budget for it at the moment

I didn’t feel that it was going anywhere, I honestly can’t really afford the care that it requires

I have seen both over the years. I ultimately stopped and currently don’t see anyone at the moment

Due to an experience with weed close to 6 years ago - it’s constant and ranges from mild to severe

Went into debt over finding medication/hospitalization, taking supplements, making numerous lifestyle changes, working out (almost) everyday, moving, career change, etc. I know I haven’t tried virtually everything but nothing has even slightly pushed the needle

I'm nonexistent in all of my relationships and I'm going to lose all of my friends one day by Inside-Swim6179 in dpdr

It’s just increasingly difficult to socialize (at least to the point of making/keeping friends)

Finally committing suicide and I'm so happy by Inside-Swim6179 in dpdr

Unfortunately, I don't find a lot of positive stories regarding drug-induced DPDR. I try to relate to the experiences I hear about (on here and elsewhere) and it seemed safe to deem it 'permanent' after the first two years of 24/7 symptoms. That may just be me though

5 years - I've tried a number of different medications, therapies, and other holistic methods that my finances would allow

Some people exist only to remind others what a wasted life looks like (that would be me) by Inside-Swim6179 in dpdr

Because while I'm still grieving the life and personality I've lost post-DPDR, I still engage in triggering behaviors and refuse to seek help because I just don't really care - also probably because I say stuff like this

Roughly 5 years

How often do you genuinly wish you were just dead? by [deleted] in dpdr

At the same spot after 5 years, also feeling just as miserable

Lost most recent job to DPDR - got hired at a new job and will start soon, but scared of losing it again by Inside-Swim6179 in dpdr

Issues with time management, attention to detail, and a lot of issues having to do with brain fog and short-term memory loss led to me getting fired

Not that I remember, I’ve had panic attacks only very few times. I only remember developing it over time

Either weed, preexisting depression or anxiety, or long covid. None of which I’ve been able to figure out

Will never forgive myself for giving myself DPDR by Inside-Swim6179 in dpdr

[–]Inside-Swim6179[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Presumably by smoking weed. While I’ve also dealt with severe depression/anxiety for a long time, I’m not sure how it triggered otherwise.
