Nothing Is Real Or Is It?

[Hope4Now]

joeygn72 just a thought...everyone tells you to close your eyes when you are trying to relax. The bodyworker guy I see suggested that I keep my eyes open and breathe through my mouth. Although this doesn't come naturally to me (I have a tendency to curl up, cross my arms over my chest, and close my eyes), I am finding that it makes me feel MUCH safer and I can even breathe through some flashback stuff. Might be worth a try for you? BTW, I can only get through about 3-5 myself :)

@joeygn72 , oh yes, I recently had a horrifying "waking up" moment... But I'm glad I did. It's still better than the miserable copy of reality I exist in. But I fell into the hibernation again... What's worse, not only do I have to live this way, but I've endured so many humiliations from people and my own mother FOR being in the dissociative state. To add more flavor, it has crippled me in my career, too. So no, you're not alone.
