Never found a clear cut way out of the disassociation. Though I did find things that helped. The first thing I would do is workout...with all the blood pumping throughout your body, it kinda works as a cleanser. Pushes out whatever it is that creates the disassociation quicker. Working out today, typically lowered the disassociation on the next day, etc.
So the only next thing you could do, is accept the disassociation for the rest of that one day. One way I would go about accepting it, was thinking of ways I could alter or play with it. Like going on a swing, drinking (calming) tea's, playing video games and seeing how fast my reactions and such were...etc. Just do daily things basically, find something to focus on and see what you can, or can't do during these times.
Members, do you have any experience with disassociation? If so, what have your experiences been? Have any of the tools or exercises in the program helped you out?
I wish I could help you. For me, it wasn't a question of snapping out of it. For me, it was a question of once I took care of my anxiety and my anxiety levels were higher, that symptom just went away. I haven't had it in a while now. So it can go away. Hang in there.
How do you all handle disassociation? By this I mean when nothing seems real. Like you are just going through the motions. What snaps you out of it? I think that this bothers me most of all the "symptoms" of PD.
