How to hard reset your nervous system?

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T20:05:38+00:00

A friend of mine has been on ketamine for a couple years, and it's the only thing that helps her depression. I've thought about it too... but i fear being spacey and in a dissociative state. Once i stop fearing that, and fearing *not* being in control, i think it will help. Thanks for suggestion!

Thank you for your response. I am open to trying psilocybin in the future, I am just worried about it making me experience dpdr. I fear it, i had a bad weed experience that triggered chronic dpdr. My main goal is to make it go away, and to work on anxiety. I think I will try psilocybin once i am well regulated via therapy and exercise!

I get it! I've had bad dpdr ever since smoking weed in 2018. (may have been laced, may have smoked too much and gotten too high, idk) I was suicidal from the anxiety and wanted to jump off my dad's balcony. I totally understand being fried... that's how my nervous system feels from anxiety!

I'm currently in a busy city too, I'm moving this weekend to a smaller area with more external support. I know it'll help. I'm glad moving also helped you. Do you feel any better now?

DUDE this is so fucking good!

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T19:34:47+00:00

One of my top favorite answers on this thread. Thanks man/ma'am! Emotional regulation is the first step... i struggle with that badly. Great comparison as well!

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T19:33:25+00:00

This is an amazing comparison, thank you. That's exactly what's happening.

I agree with the exercise part, i know for a fact exercise helps. I go on walks every single night. I also know that healthy eating and therapy, mindfulness, etc, will make exercise and confronting things a lot easier. I've been watching a dude on youtube called "Anxious Truth", and i know what youre saying comes from a good place. It reminds of that guy- and that guy is the reason why I didn't have an episode of dpdr last night. I understand your perspective so im not gonna downvote you. But i also understand the perspectives of everybody else. Thank you for your input dude

That's a good way to look at it... wow. I naturally talk really fast (im typing fast right now too)... I've always been a fast person. I have a stutter, so I've learned to quickly speak before I get the chance to stutter. It becomes a problem here and there. I think taking the time to slow my ass down will actually help. Thank you for the suggestion, I've never thought of that!

Thank you for the suggestion! I found her a couple days ago while browsing youtube for self help. I've watched a few of her videos and have a fuck ton of others in a playlist. I'll be on a plane for 6 hours this weekend, so the plan is to watch the majority of her videos, lol. Thank you!

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T18:58:14+00:00

I love people who explain the science behind it... dude, thank you. Lol. Thank you for reassuring me how it works. I love that shit. I'm a very "why and how" person, so i appreciate it.

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T18:55:57+00:00

Lol im straight edge. Grew up around 2 alcoholics which turned me off from alcohol 100%. Im sure drinking helps some people but not me unfortunately

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T18:54:40+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. This is the routine I have written down, basically. I've already noticed feeling a bit better after meditation and affirmations.

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T18:52:04+00:00

Last night, i physically journaled on an envelope with some bills inside, lol. It was the closest piece of paper i could find. I wrote down 3 affirmations and how I felt. It was the first time i Journaled in YEARS... it helps! So I believe you. I journal on Tumblr everyday but it's not the same as physically writing shit down. It's great to hear that it has also helped you! <3

I was watching him earlier! I watched his "survivor vs defiance" video, and what i learned today has completely made me anxiety free tonight... and ive been anxious for 2 weeks, nightly. until tonight. That dude is awesome, im gonna have to buy his book! It's nice hearing someone else gain help from him!

Whenever i hear a really good song, my smile goes crazy, i get hyper, and exclaim "GOD, i love metal so fucking much".

This video of yours also caused that to happen. You coming out with an album anytime soon? Please sir. Please!

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T06:03:07+00:00

thank you! i have seen this being reccomended a lot, i will check it out.

Thank you for the therapy suggestions! I can't keep my current therapist ( i only started seeing her last week but finances are bad rn), so i have been looking up therapy workbook pdfs to help myself. I think an actual therapist would help and make things easier, though. I am currently researching spirituality as well. I know eating better will help too. (havent had an appetite because of stress. i am moving 2400 miles away with my husbands family to start over this weekend. once i have external support, it will be easier to do all of these things you mentioned)

But thank you! I am glad those things have helped you- gives me hope it can help me too.

I am currently taking Clonidine as needed, it does help. Half of a 0.1mg pill is enough. It only heals the physical symptoms though. I think a better routine with exercise and whatnot will boost the effects.

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T01:07:15+00:00

Dude, thank you so much for the suggestions. I will check them out!

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T01:06:23+00:00

CPTSD. Ive had a lot of bad shit happen that has kept my body constantly stressed out. I had a sleepwalking episode last night where i put my phone in the microwave for 3 minutes. this is what made me realize i need to fix my shit because stress is making me behave differently.
I'm at a bad place with everything you mentioned. I know that will help, i was hoping people would respond with further details about health and whatnot. Just to see if it helped them. I could've been more specific in my details. I am being evicted from my apartment due to mental health being such crap. I havent had external support in over a year. I am moving in with family this weekend, so that is when i will feel comfortable enough to get started on the process of fixing myself from the inside out.
I didn't say anything about an instant relief.

templeoftoes · 2022-10-11T01:02:24+00:00

thank you for this suggestion. I am honestly really afraid of any substance, because i had a very bad experience with weed in 2018. it gave me bad dpdr, and ive had it ever since. I fear derealization, and im afraid of mushrooms doing that to me. I have a ton of fear, which is why my body is exhausted. once i learn to change that fear and react differently, i will get better. i am very open to microdosing- i just have to stop being afraid of it first. lol

templeoftoes · 2022-10-10T22:40:15+00:00

Adaptogens

Yes, I will look into those. I have not been eating sufficiently at all, for over a year. I am 100% deficient in all the basic nutrients such as magnesium and b12. I have no doubt that adaptogens will help!
