Ahhh I relate a lot to this ;< ; I haven't had a bad episode recently, but the last one was horrible. It was a nightmare to try and even pull myself out of bed, and my sleep schedule got screwed to hell :c
Because of it I hate mirrors especially, and don't even get me started on videos taken of me. There's such a visceral disconnect between seeing "me" on video, but not making the connection that its ME i'm watching. Its....disorientating to say in the least

That's good!! I'm glad ;v ;
I'm sorta 50/50 on my meds because they help me, but then it's also just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because psychologically
I'm still a big mess and I have to work through a lot of emotional flackbackscause CPSTD is hell ugh
But yeah, when I have a really bad episode, I try and doodle myself, or "aspects" of myself because i never really
feel comfortable drawing the "actual" me, but rather personifications/sona's because its easier to project I guess.

I know the feeling. Samm. I suffer from Dissociative disorder too. Days come and go, yet I always seem to be a part of them, whether its me or not.

it´s a rough thing to go though, i´m glad at least i´m medicated for it
the best hope we get is trying to treat it

I hate those. I haven't had one in years. Sometimes I really hate my situation but I think the routine that is making me feel lonely and lose the sense of time, it's also keeping me stable.

yeah it fucking sucks, worse thing is that im already medicated for this so it shouldn´t happen anymore

I couldn't get medicated because I never went to a doctor to diagnose it. I just kept it secret and endured. When I found out about it and other symptoms I already found a way to manage it.

But yea, My high school and part of my college were difficult.

I have it under control. Except for the anxiety and some irritability.

I hope you don't have crisis often and that there is someone close to help you with them. At least someone you can talk with on those moments.
