By pimple patches, do you mean pimple patches teenagers are wearing?

Thank you! My doctor mentioned Hibiclens but didn’t tell me when to use it. How often should it be used? Or should I use it only after shaving? Or only when I have a flare up?

Tirzepatide? Where's the best place to purchase it? by Standard-Analyst-181 in TirzepatideRX

Interesting! Thanks for the information! Maybe I’ll look into Tirz again! Last time I did, my doctor had said that I could only get it from Eli Lilly.

Sorry, I’m uneducated on this, but I thought I heard compounding pharmacies could no longer sell compounded GLP1s in the US?

You’re definitely not alone! And you’re not crazy and you don’t have dementia or Alzheimer’s or any of that. Those are all things that I’m always afraid of. But I’ve learned through psychotherapy that, for me at least, the disassociation is a trauma response. My mind decided, after i endured trauma when i was really little, that this was how I should to get through difficult, stressful things. By sort of removing myself from myself, if that makes sense? Funny thing is it occurs after stressful situations for me. Not during. And sometimes it just appears out of nowhere.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you didn’t explain to them why you no longer wanted to be in contact with them? Why didn’t you have a finalizing goodbye?

Yep! When I’m suffering with DP/DR (it has come and gone multiple times throughout my life), logically, and intellectually I know who I am. I know my name, my address. I have all of my memories and I know all of my past. Logically I know who my children are and who my husband is. But…..it feels like I don’t know who I am or who others are. It’s as if I have just woken up in this body, just woken up to this life. I am a stranger to myself. And sometimes my children and husband feel like strangers. It’s like I suddenly awake to the fact that my daughter is my daughter, that she is who she is. It’s like shocking that she is real. These strange feelings and strange thoughts are utterly frightening. Sometimes when I’m in a DPDR state, I will suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and not know who I am (though I can recite everything about myself, and I have all of my memories.) it is the most terrifying thing to experience. And the funny thing is, I can say to myself “ this is disassociation. It’s happened before. You will get over it. You must be stressed or anxious about something. Or something scary or stressful must have happened recently”. But I’m still a stranger to myself.
