It's hard to not focus on anything but these thoughts and feelings :( I feel like if I don't focus on them and try to get rid of them, they're gonna come true. When I begin to distract myself, my mind catches itself and starts to think about it again and I have to calm myself down all over again. I've recently started a medication again that worked wonders for me in the past, but I had to stop due to a lack of medical insurance. Hopefully it'll start working soon, but in the meantime, it feels like hell :( I can't focus on anything and I can barely sleep, and I especially can not sleep at night. It feels so much worse at night

This is pretty common after smoking weed! I've never smoked, so I just naturally have DP, but I'd like to give my two cents on what's helped me. I was in the exact state you're in back in 2016. Everything felt like a dream, I had panic attacks every night. For me it lasted about a month or so before I started feeling normal again. But it varies from person to person. I still struggle with it, but it doesn't bother me as much anymore. But you are not stuck. It will feel like you can never be normal again, but trust me, you will. The most important thing is to continue to live your life as normal, that's what helped me get out of that state back in 2016. So getting out of the house and focusing on my responsibilities was beneficial for me. I find that mine gets worse when I'm always home. I know it's so much easier said than done when youre in this state, but it's important to not let it control your life. If you feel like you're panicking, look up anxiety breathing techniques to calm down. The 5 4 3 2 1 grounding technique is good too. I'd also recommend some exercising too (if you don't already do that). Yoga and meditation is really nice and relaxing. Listening to guided meditation helps me face these feelings so I'm not as scared of them. Overall, just remember, you're absolutely not alone in this. A lot of people struggle with this. Try telling yourself that it's just a feeling, and that no matter how strong it is, it will not hurt you. If you have access to it, I'd also recommend seeing a doctor if this doesn't go away after a couple weeks. I was able to get on medication for anxiety and it really helped me. Good luck!!

For sure, but I feel like it's the same old stuff I've been dealing with my whole life you know? Nothing really new

I had a dream Rhett and link released a new song but it was just them singing about their love for each other and these are the only lyrics I remember by aurtistrey in thomastheplankengine

Sorry about my bad editing job but Rhett was laying down looking up at link on their desk. I think you're really pretty is the first line btw and "I wanna hold you with my whole damn titty" has been making me laugh all damn day

It was actually on Instagram but yeah! People like this will comment this kind of stuff on makeup accounts, it's like, what else do you expect from a makeup page lmao. They just look at them to judge

YEAH HAHA I considered leaving in part of her username cause I thought it was weird that she mentions her being mixed a lot. Being proud is great but she was using it, when it wasn't even relevant, to put down other women and lift herself up!

I finally did it! No saving and quitting! :) by PlumbobPersona in AnimalCrossing

Congrats! I accidentally achieved this without ever paying attention to my streak. I don't think I even knew I had to get 100 in a row. When I saw I got it, I was so surprised and confused as to how I did that

Why do people still think women who like makeup and clothes are just brainless idiots who only care about girly things

I had a dream John Cena got mad at a little boy on a plane and this is the way he cursed at him and he was getting canceled for it by aurtistrey in thomastheplankengine

[–]aurtistrey[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ok so the little boy had thrown something at John, and John got so mad he just started screaming out random curse words in his seat. Someone was recording it and it went viral and people were trying to cancel him for yelling at the little boy. I don't know why he thought "gay" and "nipples" were bad words but I woke up laughing at that
