hi yall, i posted in this sub a little while ago about an experience I had with smoking too much weed and depersonalizing (it’s happened to me twice). i was concerned my two DP experiences meant that i am at risk of developing full-on DPDR. since then i’ve been doing a ton of reading and i’ve come to the realization that i can use weed to my advantage when it comes to releasing trauma. THIS IS NOT ME SAYING YALL SHOULD DO IT TOO, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL. anyways, i’ve always felt weed (when consumed in moderation for me) to be an emotion enhancer. whatever my mind and body are feeling will become much more apparent to me. as someone with a lot of trauma responses rooted in dissociation, it’s helped me realize the level of anxiety constantly brewing underneath, which obvi comes from abuse and a fucked up nervous system stuck in survival mode. since all this, i’ve been smoking weed, focusing on that anxiety, and doing self-soothing exercises to try and actually inhabit my own body and feel my feelings. this is very recent, no major breakthroughs or updates yet, but wanted to share since this sub helped me realize all this. ok thanks for reading baiiii
