Does anyone have methods that help them ground themselves or routines that have helped them with their derealization?
Every day I wake up and go through the whole day feeling as if I'm in a dream. It's been a never ending cycle for me these last few months, I legit don't feel like a real person...
My dissociative episodes have only been happening within the last year and I haven't had any sort of intimacy with anyone for a few years. Recently I started dating two men (poly relationship) and I worry that I may start dissociating during any sexual interactions (my dissociative episodes are...
I do art therapy with myself on occasion to help process things or express intense emotions (though that's been a little hard lately with dissociation). I was wondering if anyone else would be ok sharing some of their art therapy pieces and talking about it? Just was curious to see how others...

Second post in a day woo boy, hoping I'm not overstepping by...
Thanks for the replies everyone, it's really hard to tell sometimes if I'm being genuine with myself or if what I'm experiencing is real. Glad to know I'm not alone, your answers are reassuring!
Been uncovering possible memories I had a child, needless to say they're quite bad. However, I never had flashbacks or any idea I might have been a csa victim growing up. I started uncovering feelings and thoughts about 6 months ago and it's been the most turbulent time of my life...
