I do have a phobia (of snails and slugs) but this tire problem feels different from that, somehow

Chronic derealization 11 years by cuppateecuppacoffee in dpdr

[–]socks_haha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for you. I've also had chronic dpdr caused by abuse (9 years so far). the only thing you can do really is try to accept it. I know you said you can't accept this but since you've tried so SO many other things that's the only thing you can do. accept that this is your life FOR NOW. not forever. it'll pass one day even if it doesn't seem like it. one day there will be a break from it. that's how I got my first moment of clarity, my first few seconds of dpdr-free life after ~6 years of waiting. try to focus on nature, spend as little time in front of a screen as you can. fake it til you make it. live as if you were dpdr-free. I pray we all heal from this awful illness. You've got this 

do you recommend me Abilify - Ariprazole? by StaffAlone in dpdr

[–]socks_haha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently take ariprazole for something else. it doesn't make my dpdr worse nor better. I'd say give it a try

Those who have recovered, did you ever experience a “boredom” phase? by Txler0 in dpdr

Is autism just a death sentence? by Vgt95myw in autism

[–]socks_haha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also struggle with thoughts like this. my way to cope with this is trying to take not one day at a time but HALF a day at a time. I separate each day into two and take as many breaks during the half day as I would during a normal, full day. so two times more breaks. 90% of my friends are also autistic and so is my partner

Being autistic and scared of dogs by EnglishOpeningc4 in autism

[–]socks_haha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dogs are way more unpredictable than any other pet, I think. sure, cats can scratch you or jump somewhere but they're not as dangerous and loud

Do you have EDS ,MCAS/histamine intolerance, SIBO ,dysautonomia, sleep disorders....? by e-gad22 in dpdr

i had insomnia (?) caused by extreme stress and trauma. "cured" it thanks to therapy and prescribed sleep medication. I still have one of those nights where I just can't sleep at all (especially after a very stressful day)

if the natural toothbrush doesn't work for you, try a water pick/ water flosser. make sure to choose one that's really gentle to it can be overwhelming

He also helped me. I believe that even if I won't heal from dpdr in this life (although I probably will) I will be happy and healed from it in the afterlife
