Has anyone got any tips on how to stop feeling depersonalized?? And to just ground yourself a bit within

Bring on your 5 senses what can you hear, see, smell, taste, etc. It helps me a lot.

My therapist recommended the same as above. If there’s a way you can carry a comforting smell around with you (small vile of lavender for e example). I tie a handkerchief around my dogs neck for about a week and then carry it with me, I also have photos of them on a keychain that helps me a lot. I have tattoos if them that I look at and pet (it sounds really weird but petting my arm hair combined with the visual of them helps the most... I have no idea why.)

My biggest thing is distraction/ ignoring the feelings. Pretend they aren’t there, carry on with your day as if you felt completely fine. Socializing is very important! Get out of your own head :) good luck! You’ll get through this. I used to suffer with depersonalization and derealization but I’m almost 100% better now! It will pass, just don’t feed into it. The more you think about it the stronger it will become, so like I said- just pretend it’s not even there :-) good luck!

@katiesexistence I just don’t know what to do, bc it’s like I lose myself after I get ocd. Then I just feel almost dead inside and not me and I don’t know how to break the cycle. It can last for days or months and I can ground myself but just have no clue how to reconnect with myself.
