Dissociation

Hi-
Lately dissociation has been my normal resting state. It’s more depersonalizing but also some derealization.
If I can get engaged enough with other people I can pull out of it- but I still tend to forget so much from that conversation. Even the people I feel safer with.
If I am alone I struggle so much to get myself to engage with my environment. Time just passes. When I try to do something it doesn’t really work. I guess my body is kind of numb. Tasks get messed up, I drop things, brain fog makes it hard to stay focused enough to keep fixing the mistakes and I just want to be able to do things things. It feels really sad that this is how so much of my life is. I have good support so I’m extremely lucky. And I’m going to be trying emdr again (I have had a hard time with it because of my symptoms), so I keep hoping this is going to help.
It’s been really confusing and debilitating to my functional living. My memory is so impaired. Everything is so different from how I used to function. Anyways- if anyone has any ideas or can relate- I’d appreciate it.
Thanks!

How do you see yourself?

Do you find that the thoughts you think or emotions you express change your attitude? When you indulge in complaining or gratitude, does the idea you have of yourself and this world change before your eyes? If you complain about something, how quick are you to get upset? If you express gratitude, how quick are you to find some peace? Try saying thank you to yourself a few times a day, or many times a day, and notice how quickly your attitude changes about the world and your place in it.

A simple reminder

It's so easy to postpone our happiness for some far-off day where we let go of something hurting us or reach some goal of attainment. By all means, work on letting go and reaching all the goals you dream of, but don't fall into the trap of denying yourself happiness until that day because none of us are any good at predicting the future and we have no idea how much longer we have to appreciate all the miracles that surround us. Are you waiting for something?

Self-love

Being alone doesn't have to be loneliness; it can also be solidarity. The physical event is the same, but your opinion of the situation either empowers you or makes you miserable. Essentially, it comes down to accepting yourself and your situation. If you can do that, you can handle any environment. What do you do to build your self-love and overcome this obstacle?

People are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get

Can anyone relate to this? What are some experiences you have had where a person intentionally or unintentionally gave you the strength to be a better you?
