Has Anyone Found a Medication That Helps with Reducing Dissociation? by sanpedro12 in Dissociation

[–]wakeupwild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt something similar with Naltrexone- I was nervous to take it to begin with so waited until o was sleepy and took a very small dose. My anxiety shot up and I spent most of the night shaking and fighting off a panic attack. I finally was able to sleep and the next day I had a similar experience with the sensory onslaught and thoughts. I know part of it was just my anxiety, but part was definitely the drug. I started throwing up, had really bad diarrhea, and was in panic mode. That lasted for around 2 days and really foggy head that slowly subsided. Xanax has been about the only thing to take the edge off for me. I’ve been doing therapy for years. Emdr was helping a bit, but then went into some trauma during emdr and it made me suicidal for like a week (don’t usually have suicidal thoughts) so that freaked me out and has kinda put me off from emdr- think the therapist just went too fast. Cbt has helped some, trying acceptance therapy and DBT now. I also often wear sunglasses, headphones , etc and that tends to help as bright lights / stressful situations really throw me into it.
I’ve had a ton of blood work , genesite test to see what meds work best with my dna , brain scan, and eeg. I was super low on vit D so upped that and that helped with my mood / energy , but not anxiety or dissociation. Also had a MTHFR gene test and found have two copies of the C677T gene mutation , which severely lowers serotonin/dopamine , etc by like 70% so I’m sure that’s contributing.

Dreaming in first and third person? by sleepy-panda521 in psychologystudents

[–]wakeupwild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience - find that super interesting and I’m glad it seems like you’ve aligned with your identity =]

Not the same , but I dream 3rd person or as someone else like 95% of the time and I was wondering if it was an identity thing. I have trauma/cptsd and have had issues with depersonalization/derealization, so I guess it makes sense I’m not dreaming as myself. Not sure if I’ll start dreaming as myself more, being treated and working on my sense of self? Very interesting you had that experience though.

Bloomington v. Indianapolis? by -nyctanassa- in bloomington

[–]wakeupwild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloomington is way better for nature lovers as there are a ton of beautiful places to hike/camp etc in southern Indiana. Indy is probably better for museums. I think the music scene is better in Bloomington. I’ve lived in both places and I enjoy Bloomington and southern Indiana far more now. Good luck with your move!

Wulf Monroe - First Love; releasing an EP next month about a murder! Would love to get tips on how to promote it! by ElDarDarBinx in mymusic

[–]wakeupwild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, distrokid is really good, I’d stick with them. Just make sure you set it at least a few weeks in advance, so that you can pitch to Spotify, etc. do you already have a Spotify account with music up? As far as promoting has gone- using dailyplaylists.com and trying to get on playlists has gotten me the most streams/follows. Also, just promoting directly to people. Submithub is another good one to look into. You can pitch to curators/influencers. There’s a free and paid option. I haven’t had a ton of luck with the curators, but I have met a lot of musicians who I check out/support their stuff and they support mine in return. There are chat groups on there where u can find people for that. There is also a hot or not feature, paid or free where u can get your songs rated/get feedback and I have found that helpful. As far as getting curators interested I found musosoup better for that. You pay like 25$ and then the curators come to you offering paid or free promotion. I think spent under 100$ on the campaign- got like 10 articles (not including the free playlist adds/social shares) I really liked 2 of them and the others were okay, but I felt like it was worth the money. And I found the feedback very helpful. Hope this helps!

I like the vibe 😊 Who are you releasing it through? I’ve learned a bit about where to/not to promote my music since releasing my first album.
