Cold showers and meditating helps me. Although during the day it’s difficult since I’m at work. Just taking a quick break, shutting your eyes and breathing. (I like using guided meditations on YouTube) even if for a couple min. Hope this can help you!!!

physical: quality sleep, exercises, passions/hobbies (especially love working with hands, very grounding) … mental (the biggest thing): absolutely not trying to fight it off, fully accepting the feelings and allow yourself to feel it completely, getting comfortable with feeling uncomfortable (and remembering derealization is not dangerous). from someone who has had DP/DR since childhood, and i only get it occasionally now (and when i do i try to accept it)
