Derealization is back and bad :(

[blue1764]

Hi everyone. My dissacotiation is back and very bad. I am finding myself sleeping more than ever. I feel very disconnected and suicidal. I feel like I am living in a dream or a movie. I’ve tried medication after medication and I still feel the same. I just want to be happy and live a normal teenage life but I keep finding myself back where I started. Please give some advice or hope please I’m really drowning in my feelings

i hate the derealization the most. its awful, feels more like a nightmare than a dream but i know exactly how you feel. it seems to subside when i try deep breaths and i focus on parts of my body, for example that my feet are on the ground, my arms are by my side etc. sometimes i even will look in the mirror and just talk to myself and remind myself that i am here, and i am present and all that matters is the present moment. look up what "mindfulness" is and try to do some of that. it really helps me with derealization.
