How to combat derealization/dissociation
(because apparently no one knows how, and I'm not a professional this is just what works for me.)
- Have something that tells the time on you, always. I've got many different theories on why this helps, but dreams tend to be unstable and unpredictable with time, and if you've got a particularly bad perception of time, watches are a good indicator.
- Stare at your hands occasionally and often. You tend to forget what your body actually looks like as you move through space and time in real life, and in dreams, but taking time to identify your fingers in any way helps remind yourself that you're here.
- Carry around a bag. This one is extremely niche, but it's somehow helped me without noticing. You need to keep track of an external item that is placed down and carried and holds stuff. It's constantly there with everything you need, side bag, hand bag, fanny pack, cross body bag, a rotation of any daily use bags SEPERATE from school/work bags. This is like your inventory, and just helps when you know you've got your things.
- Seriously stop scrolling, this is self explanatory and repetitive and you've heard it a million times but when you reach to scroll stop and do anything else. Even just sit with yourself, it's better.
- Accessories, something other than clothing you remind yourself to keep track of. Keychains and carabiners on your jeans, bows in your hair, necklaces, bracelets, and rings even. Something very simple, but it'll be enough to remind you that you have a body/an outfit that you have put on today and it is there and you are wearing it.
- Carry around a plush. Similar to the accessories and bags, having a small toy in your pocket or in your arms (fashionably, if that's your thing) will also help you keep track of yourself and your surroundings. Definitely a little less subtle, but the only ones who judge don't care.
- This one requires more mental energy, constantly know what time it is. With or without the watch. Quiz yourself, "it was 9:03 last time I checked, how much time passed?" And even if you're wrong you're still forced to perceive time, retrospectively but still. I did this a lot during COVID, managed to get it down to the minute after a few weeks, lost the skill but I can still guess how much time has passed with much better accuracy than before.
- Mirrors are hard to face, but look and accept that what you see in front of you is you actively. Mirrors are notoriously a difficult out of body experience, just accept that it is you and relax. It's hard to face such a weirdly dissociating thing, but re-learning to ignore your reflection and accept it as a part of daily life will help out a lot.
- Long excruciating days. Fun times that pass by too quickly. The difference is, you notice everything in the long hours but the parties wash over you tend to last mere seconds. It's disheartening and disorienting to have things come to abrupt endings or minutes that'll last for hours. This is hard to put into words, but the more you notice, the more your brain perceives your space and time seems to slow down to the second. The less you perceive, the more energy and flow you feel, the less your brain tends to perceive every single moment. "Grounding" is what it's called, but seriously hold onto your friends laughter, look at every piece of confetti flying in the air, notice everything crack in the floor, it'll solidify memories in your brain and you'll be actively feeling the moment.
- Now this is just a fun addition to the previous number, absolutely zoning out will speed up time in a strange but unmistakable way, and when you have something uncomfortable you're expecting (getting a shot, throwing up, something sudden but quick) look towards the moments in the future, imagine yourself there and wait until reality catches up. That's really just a neat trick to utilize derealization positively, but I hope all the tips to handle it in everyday life, no matter how long you've been dealing with it.

i hate when rich people condescend with the whole 'money can't buy happiness' argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didn't fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesn't mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldn't greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet

I periodically see ships that make me go "What?! No! No!" and then move on and don't harass anyone and feel so strong and brave.

This article gets even more insane from there btw:
“Does your employer allow you have preapproved unpaid time off? You’re ~micro retiring~ actually and that’s Bad.”
“Are you unemployed? ~micro retiring~”
“Not grinding every second of every day? ~micro retiring~”
Holy Protestant Work Ethic, Batman!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
stopppp saying that people are becoming fascists because they got brain damage from covid or vaping or whatever the fuck that is like the actual fascist viewpoint
yeah im really worried about the rise of fascist ideology. it seems like the decadence of modern society is producing mentally impaired degenerates who cant be trusted to make their own decisions and only a select few remain at a higher level above the idiotic masses <- whats the fucking plan here
think about what groups are disproportionately affected by covid and lead pipes and nicotine addiction and proximity to toxic waste and then think about why this exact argument has been used so much more successfully to argue for why rebellions of the colonial working classes are caused by some kind of degenerated aggression rather than legitimate political causes
u have to believe in the intelligence and creativity and all-around ability of the working class masses, u have to or ur politics become a tool of what u want to fight against

Nightshift/ 3rd shift pharmacy technician here!
We are awake for all the scary dark hours (2100-0700 for me specifically) and we're up caring for patients all night, now I don't have donuts for you but I *do* hope it comforts you that more people are awake than one might think (Janitorial, security, nurses, OR staff) and we literally do our best to beat back death (I work in an ICU specialty hospital). We give care to complete strangers day in and day out. It helps remind me that the world may be cruel but humans can't stop caring, in some cases to the determent of themselves.
When I was in college I lived near a 24/7 gas station/grocery store, I always thought about the on call/ 3rd shift firefighters. When you run on a different clock (even temporarily) to the rest of your community it can be isolating, just don't forget there are others out there up with you. I used to go buy a snack to just see a friendly face on the bad days, you don't always need to talk to a best friend sometimes you just need to be treated humanely to remind yourself that it's not something you have to earn or deserve
