I would update my original post if I could, to not deter people from trying CBD. I posted this after taking an isolate sublingually and I wouldn't recommend taking it this way. I now think CBD works great for my dissociation and now take 2 drops of CBD THC 1:1 daily.

I'm aware that theres currently no drug thats recognized to treat depersonalization. But, there are some anecdotal reports and recovery stories on reddit/dpselfhelp. So, I thought I'd ask here for your knowledge and experiences with medication. I believe that I cannot overcome this without the...

OP here. I've still been searching for a cure for my depersonalization/derealization and I came across some youtube videos that mentioned CBD. Because they've had success with it, I think I'm going to give it another try but this time in a vaporizer. Given my financial situation, it's quite the...

i got 47

My environment is safe. The only threat to me really is myself

I don't know. Is that just ways to help my derealization? eg. holding an ice cube, biting a lemon

Hmm.. well I can certainly go to environments that expose me to the harsh realities in my society such as disease, hunger, poverty to help my derealization. But I don't think I can actually get socially involved at least not yet. One of the most crippling symptoms of my depersonalization is the...

For sure. I will try to find trauma informed professionals and if I feel like I won't make much progress with them, I'll make sure to be assertive and move on. I called the 811 number last night and after discussing that I had some suicidal thoughts, they told me to go the the nearest...

hmm.. this made me think of an idea to just start getting all the help I can get. I'm just gonna try to talk to every free mental health resource in my city.

well I've already spent $340 on 3 sessions with this therapist who specializes in trauma and we honestly have done nothing so far. Just me telling her basic information about myself, learned about trauma therapy, and grounding exercises. The only source of income I have is my mom who makes...

I guess I am being impatient. I just wonder how long it's gonna take until I see some kind of breakthrough.. As long as I don't suicide I feel like it's worth Well I know things like grounding techniques, thought stopping, "DP is no big deal" frame, mindfulness.

It just seems like any of those things are pointless if i'm dissociated and can't be present. And I don't just have regular ptsd where I had a traumatic event in my adulthood. I've had pretty bad developmental trauma as well as suffered occasional verbal abuse from peers. I've probably been...

Hi. I'm a 22 year old Japanese Canadian guy. I have lived a life of severe social and emotional isolation. I was born to a caregiver who could not provide me the emotional attunement that every child needs, causing disorganized attachment. This emotional neglect ultimately caused me to...

I'm a 22 year old male and I've been stuck in DP/DR for a year now and have struggled with dissociation since early childhood. Bought this book thinking it would be helpful but I'm reading and my mind is just blank. There are exercises and worksheets in the book and I just have no idea how to...

Tried CBD oil. It definitely helps calm my anxiety and has a relaxing effect, but it doesn't have much of an effect on dp/dr/dissociation. If thats what you're looking for. I would say CBD oil is a luxury drug, atleast for people in Canada.
