my private counsellor met me for the first time two days ago, and she told me something that really opened my eyes. she told me when you disassociate, it's your body's way of protecting itself. i have bad anxiety, and the body knows how painful and exhausting it is to constantly feel too much and in exchange coats everything in a gloopy numbing cream that makes everything blend into one. she said it was a coping mechanism, so before we can deal with the heaviness and unreality of living, you have to deal with the underlying emotion first. this is the only way i can picture feeling content the way i used to. x

On rewiring brains:
On the 18th I am going to hospital in London for 3 weeks. I will be there for intensive physiotherapy and regular therapy. I currently have a disease that means my nerves tell me that I'm in excruciating pain, that everything I touch is hurting me. The plan is that they will 'rewire' my brain to understand that nothing is hurting me, that my body is safe. The pain that I feel is real, but it is also not. I don't know if it will work. It's called desensitization training - training my body to not feel the pain by introducing it to new textures, temperatures and exercises. It will hurt an awful lot, and it will not make me better, but I'll be able to deal with the pain. It will teach me to cope and to work through the burning feeling under my skin, to not scream like I want to, but to tell myself that it's NOT REAL.
Rewiring a brain is difficult. Whether it can ever fully happen is debatable. But, with help and a whole lotta hard work, you can at least learn to get through the problem and cone out the other side.
There is no cure for my disease. There is no cure for depression. But, whoever you are, if you have read all of this, if you are scared that you will never recover from whatever you may be facing, please know that if you have no cure, no exit to your hell: you must fight your way out. You must fight through any pain you find, because there may be no exit but you can learn to at least stick your head out of the window and let the outside in. Good luck.

that harmony at 4:22 killed me

I had a dream that Dodes, me and one of my friends were together after going to her concert in the Button Factory where we ran around the streets of Dublin and danced with random buskers and made friends in the middle of the night and it was so natural and so freeing and it didn't matter that I got back to Uni and my scary mentor late the next day or that we didn't have phones and were worrying about us, it was just being, you know? Being alive and present and fulfilled.
I've always wanted to just go anywhere like that, where no one knows me and do what I want with no repercussions - sing on the street, run on the rooftops, laugh and cry and feel a hint of anxiety, that adrenaline, that makes everything more
real.

I had a day where I was really jet lagged and frustrated and I felt so... displaced. And I felt really de-personalised!
This was the very first, and hopefully last, time I've experienced it, and it was honestly terrifying.
I felt like there was a fog over my brain, like I had to shake my head and blink really hard to get it to go away, but it didn't until the next morning.
Now I understand how you feel a little more, and I feel even more empathy for you now. It made me feel so tense and ... weird, like I'd never be normal again. Just thought I'd share, luv u dodie💓💓

Dp/dr is honestly the shittiest thing going! If you've never suffered from it you can't honestly say you understand what it is! It's the most horrible feeling in the world! Not feeling like you're actually here; feeling like you're dreaming all the time; feeling drunk all the time; not being able to enjoy yourself; always feeling spaced out.
It's shit

I'm sorry you feel this way. I feel this way at times when I'm fed up with being alone, I want to go out in the world and have adventures every day, and making friends with people also. I'm sorry you still aren't feeling well. Maybe the dream you had when you were happy and pleasant maybe is trying to remind you that you can still feel that way. There must be a way! And I know you will get it!
I would recommend doing something opposite when you feel bad. Do something that makes you feel good. I feel like that would help. :)

I wonder if it's because your brain was in R.E.M. And that's when your brain is calm and repairing itself, so like, it's a good thing that brain did that.
I'm working on feeling content in the present moment as well, and my doctor told me that one way to help feel that way is to start acknowledging random and sometimes subconscious things. When I can remember to that, it starts to help a little.
Like wow, that deep breath kinda made my chest collapse and my threat expand and that feels good. Or, wow the air feels cooler next to this tree and this fountain has that fountain smell that is always weirdly comforting because so many fountains smell like that.
When I think about it too much it gets overwhelming but eventually it started to kind of do it's own thing and yeah
Try it out.
Idk
Stay safe and sleep well while you're traveling 🌼🌻

You have no idea how comforting it is to know that I'm not the only one suffering from this shitty illness
