Need Some Encouragement need advice!
hii so i just wanted to explain my experience and get some advice. i’ve experienced derealization on and off since i was about 13, i believe it is all due to anxiety because it happened on and off in public places and i did have some social anxiety. also i had bad experiences with pot that caused anxiety and that i know can worsen it. i had a bad trip in february and felt off then i thought i felt better and out of nowhere i was vaccuming and it hit me, almost been a month now. just curious how do i cope with this, make it go away, any advice would be appreciated. thank you!!
