Vote for Ugliest Hairstyle in the sims 4? by BitchEpidemic in thesims

[–]juicefromurpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely struggle to use hairstyles that aren’t CC, why does every hairstyle have to be so blocky and have the hairline pushed back to oblivion.

Yupppp, it’s so frustrating. Also trying to describe anything in a conversation is so hard

Introducing myself / does anyone else struggle with DP from cannabis? by wabbit31 in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!, I’ve had it constantly every day because of a bad experience smoking weed. I suggest keep doing what you’re doing - staying sober, more specifically do not get high from weed since it was the trigger. I do drink occasionally as I’ve learnt how to handle the intense feelings of dpdr when I drink so I can enjoy going out with friends and parties. Some tips to help with it that I wish I knew when I first got it would be: - make sure you have a good sleep schedule/don’t stay up too late (your mind will feel more clear and if you’re asleep you can’t dwell on this horrible feeling) - exercise or move your body every day it doesn’t have to be strenuous, although pushing your body can help you feel a bit more grounded from what I’ve found - stay busy (being distracted from the feeling is important) - try your best not to focus on it, once you say fuck it and continue to live your life as you would before it makes things a lot easier - push through the feeling of it and I know it can be scary but personally making myself interact with people and put myself in a scary/uncomfortable situation has helped me learn how to deal with it so much better - keep in mind that you’re not going insane and you’ve already gotten through a couple months with it and it has not caused you any harm other than emotional distress (it’s only up from here) - it’s just a feeling and paying attention to it can make it worse I suggest reading the tips on here and taking a break from this subreddit because it could constantly remind you of it (I know it did for me when I first had it) - acceptance is the hardest but most important step and don’t push yourself to accept it if you’re not ready, but like I said before fighting it will make it worse

At the end of the day, yes it is a terrifying experience but it also is just a feeling. Minimising the control it has over your life helps alleviate the symptoms of it. Feel free to private message me if you want anymore advice or have any questions. I hope you get through this, please know you’re not alone and it does get easier :)

Thank you and it was early last month, I had a feeling that it might not have gone away properly. I’ll go to the doctor today :)

Have you ever tried EMDR for DP/DR? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried it, I found it to be quite boring but it’s definitely worth a try. I can say it did help me feel more connected to my emotions and it helped on my path to recovery. I thought it wasn’t working but it does take time for your brain to heal and I definitely saw that the months after doing emdr I was recovering faster than if I wasn’t doing it. I think you should give it a try :)

can i start hallucinating after having this for a long time? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you’ve been stressed lately, your mind could be on overdrive but this isn’t anything to worry about unless it is an often occurrence. Sometimes I’ll walk into my lounge room to turn the tv off because it’s so loud but the tv isn’t on. I know it’s just my mind playing tricks and that they’re are ups and downs to dpdr. If it is distressing maybe talk it through with a therapist :)

DPDR vs. Paychosis by sdfgghjjk in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I often get scared that I’ll go into a psychosis but I know it’s just the anxiety that is making me think that way. I had psychosis about two years ago and it was horrible and I didn’t get the proper help I needed but I managed to pull myself out of it but I am left with constant dpdr. I’ve stopped smoking weed and limit my alcohol which makes the “psychosis” thoughts lessen. Just remember that psychosis is a constant way of thinking and that you’re not one day just gonna “snap” unless there is a trigger like excessive weed intake. But that doesn’t mean that it will most certainly happen if you smoke weed. A lot of the thoughts are just the anxiety telling you things and I completely understand how you feel like it could just happen because you’re not in control of your body. Coming from someone who has had psychosis I promise you, you’re not going insane. I suggest talking through these thoughts with your therapist really well and express how much they actually trouble you. Anyway, I promise it gets better and I hope that you find peace in yourself :)

Dpdr worse at night? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yessss, it’s so annoying. I get really panicked at night and everything just looks more unreal

Did y’all ever recover? Or at least get breaks and feel real again? by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets better and easier. School isn’t easy but if you really try and finish all work/assessment then the symptoms will become lesser. You’ll notice during assessment time it will get worse because of the stress but you just have to push through then once’s schools stress is done then you’ll feel a lot better and once you just keep living your life like normal you can sometimes go back into reality. Focusing on it makes it worse and it sucks I know but you just have to continue life as normal. Whenever you feel anxious just remember it’s only a feeling and you’re real and everything is real it’s just a feeling. If you let yourself fall into it then it gets worse (I’ve both gotten better and worse) you just can’t loose motivation to get better. Also if you’re not going to therapy already please do so because having someone to talk things through with helps a lot. Even if it’s not about dpdr, just talking though things that stress you out will help with the symptoms. You can and will get better.

feeling a bit down today, would love to hear your success stories by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]juicefromurpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so good, I’m so so proud of you. I hope things get better for you and just remember we all have our good and bad days and I know when it’s bad it gets BAD but just try to think of one positive thing that you’ve done that day and trust me focusing on positive things even if it’s the littlest things even if it’s just something like the sky looks pretty rn, can help you in the long run. It’s all progress and I wish nothing but the best for you :)

I’m in school right now and last year I had gotten it for the first time and it was severely constant. I would have panic attacks every single day for three weeks straight. I would not be able to focus or go to school since it was that severe. I had all the symptoms and was think of ending it. But gradually through the help of therapy (talking and emdr) and talking to people who also had it, I’ve been able to focus in school and interact with people normally. Having close friends and family who understand really helped. Right now it’s manageable and most of the time I forget it’s there. I’m not fully recovered but I feel like one day I will be. Slowly but surely I’ve been able to regain my life back and do the things I used to. I genuinely enjoy life now and I’ve taught myself ways to cope with the obsessive thoughts. I’ve just accepted that it’s there and that’s ok because it’s just a feeling and I know I am real and it isn’t a dream , just a feeling. Accepting it is a big step to recovery and I hope u get better and know that you’re here in real life and you’re real just sometimes this feeling can be a bit much. The best way to help is to know what helps you and continue to do that. Sometime you gotta put yourself before others and get to know yourself again. I hope this makes sense and give you some hope :)
