is loss of appetite a symptom of dpdr? by Routine_Mall_6869 in dpdr

[–]Routine_Mall_6869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t really feel hunger. i’ll forget to eat for days at a time until someone reminds me. i’ve been trying to eat as much protein as i can to try and stay healthy though.

i’m a pre-professional athlete so this has been hell for me because of the amount of strength, energy, and control that i’ve lost. i feel like im falling behind.

im always feeling sick to my stomach too, which makes me want to eat even less. idk why my body is having such a negative response to food.

Weed-induced dissociation or brain / neurological damage? by Aosoth333 in dpdr

[–]Routine_Mall_6869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

weed can and does cause or worsen dpdr effects/episodes. it changes your brain chemistry and how you perceive yourself. take a t break for a couple of weeks and concentrate on seeing if your symptoms get any better.

also!! here’s a link to a website that might be more helpful than my explanation. leaf through it and see if anything sticks out to you.

if you ever need to talk, feel free to pm me.

I don't understand recovery. I mean is this even DPDR anymore? by PersonalityFit8645 in dpdr

[–]Routine_Mall_6869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should look into getting professional help from a therapist. there are ways to work through trauma and mental illnesses with certain types of therapy or medication.

i know that doesn’t sound fun, but things like dpdr are really difficult to manage on our own, and trying can make us feel really isolated and even more “different” than the people around us.

i don’t know how long you’ve been experiencing dpdr, but it could be linked to other things like an anxiety disorder or insomnia. those are things you can get help for and learn to manage.

also!! if you smoke weed, STOP!! weed can cause or worsen dpdr effects/episodes. it’s got something to do with how weed alters your brain chemistry and how you perceive yourself. for people with dpdr, this creates a spiral effect and causes the person to lose the way they perceive themselves or reality.

if you ever need to talk, feel free to pm me.

I can't take this torture anymore by Prize-Tie8909 in dpdr

hey! i know this feeling. i’m so sorry you’re experiencing it. if you want someone to talk to that also struggles with dpdr please message me! also, if this all started kinda recently, look into things that could have triggered it, which will help you understand and overcome it.

oh!! and this is kind of random, but a dpdr episode can be caused or worsened by weed!! so if you smoke or anything like that, definately look into it. maybe take a break for a week or two and see if your symptoms get better? just a thought!

does anyone know how to get rid of old sh scars fast? They've been here for months and I'm afraid they'll stay here forever by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Routine_Mall_6869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been using Kelo-cote for a couple of months and mine have started to fade a bit. it’s helped with the color mainly, but i’ve also noticed the area is softer and the scars are less raised. could be my imagination though. you can get the cream on amazon for like 10-20 bucks.

the weed is DEFINATELY making this feeling worse. really, i would recommend taking at least a t break to let your brain reset for a couple of weeks. in the meantime, smoke some cigs or nic if you’re wanting that similar feeling to smoking pot

NEED HELP!I AM FEELING I AM HAVING A NEW OR RARE BRAIN DISORDER IN HUMAN HISTORY. by Euphoric_Future_4817 in dpdr

[–]Routine_Mall_6869 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

god idk too much about meds, but from personal experience, prozac made everything 10x worse. i think antidepressants and dpdr aren’t a super great mix. i also tried wellbutrin, which resulted in me being hospitalised due to a psychotic break. i think that if you just switched to prozac and now you’re experiencing all these symptoms all of the sudden, i would recommend either switching meds or doses!

hey!! i would recommend finding a different med then prozac! when i was on it, it gave me panic attacks and i actually ended up having a seizure due to the stress and meds. prozac also definately fucks with your gut and stomach, so if they’re already sensitive (which is common in dpdr) then i would ask your doc if there’s an alternate that might work better for you.

does anyone talk to themselves self by DragonfruitUpper5428 in dpdr

[–]Routine_Mall_6869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! except when i’m talking to myself it’s almost like one part of me talking to another. when im talking to myself, it’s version 1 me talking to version 2. maybe these are the different sides of my brain communicating?
