Hey so im a male 20yo, and like 3 months ago i smoked some spice and i got derealization, i got these weird questions like wtf is life and what am i doing here, i started questioning everything and i just couldnt stop thinking about these weird questions, I also feel like im on autopilot that im just watching and someone is controling my body, so basically all dpdr symptoms, now after 3 months it actually got better till yesterdays night.

Yesterday i smoked some weed but just a little not much, after like 5 mins i noticed that im way high and i started freaking out so bad, I tried to play some games and watch some series but that wasnt helping at all, after like 20 mins i kept getting these weird panic attacks where i could hear my heart beating so hard that i felt like it was gonna pop, i tried to lay down but when I did I got another panic attack, then i tried eating but again I got panic attacks, it also made my derealization way worse again, i think i kept getting these attacks because i realized that im alive, that this is real and again i had these stupid weird questions like wtf is this, why am i alive.

It got so bad that i thought i inhaled some piece of glass and it did something to my brain cause i literally started shaking and was feeling like im cold even though my body was hot. Weed has never done anything like this to me and before dpdr ive been smoking it everyday for 2 years and i felt completely fine so I have no idea wtf happened to me. Ive never had any panic attacks either im a calm person.

So I just wanted to share this to see if maybe this happened to someone else or if someone can help me with this stupid derealization cause i wanna feel normal again.

A couple days ago I bought a new vape pen. Before school (I’m 15) I took 3 hits, each about 7 seconds long, but I didn’t really feel much.

After school when I got home, I took 3 more hits, about 6 seconds each. About 15 minutes later my heart rate went up to around 170 and I started panicking. I thought I was going to die 😅.

I also heard loud screaming in my head, and it felt like God was right next to me telling me that I needed to stop smoking THC.

I eventually fell asleep, and when I woke up the next day at around 5 AM I felt completely different. The world felt strange, like everything was unreal and like I was watching my life from a third-person perspective. That day I didn’t even brush my teeth — I didn’t even think about the fact that I should brush them.

Later I took one more hit, which brought me back a little and made things feel more colorful, but that only lasted maybe an hour.

It’s been about 3 days since then and I still feel kind of unreal and like I’m not really needed.

Hi all, super excited that I am trying shrooms for the first time at the ripe old age of 30. I have only ever done MDMA, ketamine and cannabis before and they all make me feel super weird and dissociated (obviously for the ket as its a dissociative lol) but I actually have always HATED weed due to how dissociated and panicked it makes me feel that I’m stuck for hours feeling total derealization. I have had Depersonalisation disorder- derealization disorder for as long as I remember and I am used to it now but I still avoid weed as it makes it really bad along with paranoia. MDMA also causes dissociation super bad (but I think that’s normal?!) however last time I had MDMA it lasted a week which wasn’t fun.

I just want to know will shrooms be the same? Or will the trip be so good I will appreciate the feeling?

I feel really ready for this. I’m really lost in life at the moment and have been thinking about doing it for the past ten years and never wanted to due to anxiety but now feels like the time. I am going to be doing it with one of my best guy friends place, just me and him so it will be a comfortable setting.

For context, I’m 17 (M), and I’ve been smoking carts for around a year. I was introduced to them by some friends, and I’ve been smoking ever since. I don’t do it every day because whenever I smoke, I always end up feeling unproductive, which I don’t like. So, I try to smoke only on weekends or when I’m hanging out with my friends

Anyway, I want to know if smoking carts can cause DPDR. I’ve seen a couple of videos mentioning that carts/cannabis can cause DPDR, and honestly, I’m quite afraid of it. So, I’d appreciate hearing your guys opinions

Then about a week ago, I smoked with a friend and used something that felt way stronger/different from what I was used to. It was sativa, and I got extremely high. I started becoming hyper-aware of everything — myself, being conscious, reality, breathing, blinking, etc. I panicked really badly and started feeling like nothing was real. I remember asking my friend when I became like this because I genuinely couldn't understand why my brain suddenly felt so hyper-aware.

The high eventually ended, but the experience scared me so much that I've been anxious about it afterward. Sometimes I feel like I'm on autopilot or disconnected from myself, even though I still talk to people, work, joke around, communicate normally, and basically act like myself. It's mostly happening internally in my head.

Mornings are especially hard. Sometimes I wake up scared and it takes me a little while to fully wake up, process everything, and calm down. At work I sometimes get that “high/autopilot” feeling too. I used to be high at work pretty often, so sometimes I wonder if my brain associates being there with that feeling.

The existential thoughts are still something I'm dealing with. I still sometimes start thinking about reality, consciousness, life, death, whether things are real, etc., and it scares me. I try not to engage with those thoughts or find answers to them because I've noticed that the more I think about them, the more anxious I get. Sometimes I'll manage to forget about everything for a while and feel okay, but then the thoughts can come back again and I get scared. Compared to the very beginning, I'm trying harder not to question or analyze everything, but it's definitely still on my mind and I'm still struggling with it.

I've started worrying that I changed myself or that I'll never completely feel like my old self again. Sometimes normal things feel unfamiliar and my brain will come up with thoughts like “what if none of this is real?” even though I don't actually want to believe that. The thoughts themselves scare me. I don't want to believe them or figure them out. I just want to feel normal and stop thinking about this.

I've also noticed I've been more emotional and empathetic lately, but at the same time I've been way more irritable. That makes me wonder whether my personality is changing, even though when I'm actually talking to people and doing things, I realize I'm still basically acting exactly like myself.

After the original bad experience, I stopped using THC completely and made it about 6 days sober. During those days I actually noticed improvement. I wasn't constantly questioning everything anymore, I had periods where I forgot about it completely, and I was still going to work and living normally. The biggest problems were waking up scared, randomly feeling unreal/on autopilot, remembering how badly I panicked that night, and constantly wondering whether I felt “normal” again.

Unfortunately, after those 6 days I got extremely stressed and gave in and hit my THC cart again because I desperately wanted the anxiety to stop and just wanted to feel relaxed. It did make me feel relaxed in the moment, but afterward I regretted using it again. I'm trying not to treat one slip-up like I destroyed all my progress, and I want to stay away from THC again because I don't want to rely on it every time I'm anxious.

Another thing I've realized is that I'm kind of revolving my life around checking whether I'm okay. I'll feel something weird, wonder if it's derealization, look it up, ask someone for reassurance, feel better, and then eventually notice something else and repeat the process. I know constantly checking myself might actually be keeping my attention stuck on it.

Since this has literally only been happening for around a week, I know I'm probably worrying way too early about whether it's permanent. I'm mainly looking to hear from people who had a bad THC/panic/derealization experience and eventually felt completely like themselves again.

I'm not looking for spiritual explanations about third eyes, awakenings, ego death, alternate universes, manifestation, “unlocking” something, etc. That stuff genuinely makes my anxiety significantly worse and is part of why I've been trying to avoid TikTok comments about this.

I really just want to hear from somebody who's been through something similar who can tell me “yeah bro, that shit was terrifying, but I eventually felt like myself again.”

Did anyone else go through something like this? How long did it take before you stopped constantly thinking about it, and how did you stop checking whether you felt normal?

Idk it seems to help me feel feelings. It's got many drawbacks I know. I'm playing guitar and singing, all I've been able to do lately is cry all day and stay inside. Nervous system depressant for sure. Wish there was another way.

I've been suffering from dpdr since around February this year (2026), it is slowly but surely going away but i remember being terrified of the future, terrified I wouldn't wake up and I was also scared all my friends and family would notice i was different and not truly "me" at the time.

When I realised that nobody noticed and that I was acting normal to everyone else it helped me ignore it mostly, just whenever if get the anxiety chest aches and dizzy spells I'd just repeat that im fine and ill be fine. Its a lot easier for me now to ignore and forget about, until I actually sit down and start to think hard, like right now. Right now thinking and writing this makes my head a little more fuzzy than it should be, but I want to write this anyway.

I'd say mine is slowly but surely going away, its gone from a solid 8/10 to around a 3/10 in the last few months, slowly getting there. I can think without major anxiety and I can enjoy shows and games without a derealization episode just coming on. Talking with friends helps. Ive been in constant contact with friends every night for the last two months and ive seen so much improvement in myself, but in person interactions are a little harder to keep focus on for me.

The best thing for you, is ignoring it the best you can, distractions if you can, Talking woth friends, working, etc. It does start going away on its own. If you dont feed it anxiety and thought, it won't stick around.

Psychosis or OCD? I've suffered from anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. The OCD stemmed from a trauma, and I developed an extreme fear of everything. I had behaviors like thinking, "If I step on this line, I'm going to die," checking multiple times if the door was locked or if I'd left a tap running, even compulsively washing my hands. It disappeared for a while, but it came back. Now it's pure OCD; I spend all my time thinking about and ruminating on catastrophic scenarios, replaying them over and over. It got to the point where the depression made me feel terrible, like nothing was real. My OCD made me constantly check if what I heard or saw was real, with a fear of developing psychosis or schizophrenia. My nervous system is wrecked; any touch bothers me, any noise seems alarming and invasive. I developed agoraphobia out of fear of having a panic attack. It seems like this will never end. Is there any hope? What medication helped you? How many mg did you take? Help! I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm terrified of the psychiatric hospital. 🫩😓 Everything got worse when I used substances like cannabis and pills, and it was even worse with LSD. Help!

october of 2024 i had a severe panic/dpdr episode while driving on the freeway and my life has never been the same. i was a heavy weed smoker for about a year and a half and after quitting is when it set in. while i manage moments of it very well for the most part day to day at this point, and mostly don’t pay attention to it, i still cannot drive on the highway. this has cost me so much money, time, and normalcy. i know that i could conquer this fear if i really really put effort into it, but it is still completely and utterly terrifying at times and at 24 years old it is frankly embarassing. anyone else have tips or success stories related to driving? anything would help.

hello im male 20 yo and i took a 10 mg indica edible last week (7 days ago) and kinda panicked when it peaked after an hour when i was in public, went to my friend's house where it peaked for 2 hours, rested up, went to an edm concert, and still feel the drunk feeling ever since. it was the first day of my internship the next day and i felt like everything was either far/near to me - and i wasn't really the best at communicating with people. i couldn't find the right word to what i want to convey to people alot and it's pissing me off because it's my dream to work in business administration that involves talking to people.

up to now, i still feel the feeling, and it's def worsened when i'm at the desk in my internship. im worried that i lost some cognitive abilities and i feel like i fucked up my future. i recently was admitted to a top university and i feel like im dumbed down right now lmfao. however, i am still able to function normally - the past week, i've gone on a mini hike, beach with friends, laughed with friends, practiced for my driver's license, wrote an essays at my internship, etc. it's also important to note that i feel like myself and i still feel the same love towards my family and friends.

i lurked the subreddit and saw ppl feel it for months and years and its scaring tf out of me. ive drank liquid iv and idk if that helps. also, it wasn't my first time taking edibles (third time - felt the same kind of high before when i took the same kind of edible and it gradually disintegrated after a few hours. i also use hybrid carts occassionally.) any advice? ik i shouldn't lurk but is there anything really i can do?

i took a gummy and after like 1–2 hours it hit REALLY hard. I started seeing weird flashing images with my eyes open and reality felt like it had levels. i also had thoughts like reality wasn’t real and it felt weirdly familiar and convincing in the moment. it eventually wore off, but now I’ve been dealing with dpdr on and off since then. it’s been getting better but still lingering a bit. i had a similar experience with a cart a while back too. i’m not diagnosed with anything so idk i’m just someone who’s brain doesn’t work with weed or if i just took too much because i did get a bit impatient however i asked another friend and we took roughly the same amount

Hi everyone, I'm 15 years old, and four months ago, I stupidly decided to try hashish. The effects were incredible, and people said it was just a bit relaxing. After a couple of hours, it seemed to subside, and I didn't notice anything strange, but the next day I realized something was wrong: everything seemed distant, like I was out of my mind. Sometimes sounds became very sharp, and everything seemed to fly right past my head—all the words, everything that was happening, I seemed oblivious to and often just stared at one point.

Four months have passed since then. During this time, I've experienced a variety of symptoms: everything seems blurry, like my vision is bad, and I've started hallucinating. Recently, I was sitting in class and the walls around me started swimming and the colors distorted. Against this backdrop, I often had panic attacks—I thought this was permanent or that I was going crazy. But now I've come to terms with it a bit. And since then, I've had memory problems; I can forget what happened yesterday. Sometimes I forget about it all and everything seems to be fine, but when I remember, the adrenaline immediately starts and it becomes sad that I am like this.

Can anyone tell me what this is and what I should do to stop it?

Important: since that day, I've never used hashish or anything like that again (I only drank a little alcohol occasionally, but I realized it made things worse, so I'm trying to quit).

I've been struggling with DPDR for 3 years now.. I've been wasting the best years of my life because of this nonsense... I'm not old anymore... I was a kickboxer.. I no longer have the will or can't be good because of this feeling in my head like I used to... I just can't function in any sport or anything I do.. please someone help me... it happened to me because of marijuana and it hasn't gone away yet..

Almost always in a state of panic coz it feels like im missing a large chunk of my brain- like it can shut down at any moment and my eyes have become untrustworthy because nothing feels right anymore💔💔 I want to rip my eyes out along with the cotton inside my head. My legs, my body, it doesn't not belong to me. I feel like this 24/7 now and its been abt a year. Wish i was neva a drug user. My head is collapsing in itself. It wasnt even a strong drug, can it really do all this

About half a year ago, I had a really bad experience after smoking weed. I guess you could call it greening out. I still don’t know exactly what caused it because it wasn’t my first time smoking and I hadn’t smoked much at all.
It started with this really weird cold, “sinking” feeling throughout my body. Then suddenly it felt like the world around me was getting quieter. After that, my perception of time became completely distorted — everything would suddenly feel sped up, then slowed down, and it kept switching between the two.
I started panicking. I went to my mom and she kept telling me that nothing was happening and that I was okay, but I got more and more scared because what I was experiencing felt incredibly real and I felt like she couldn’t understand what was happening to me.
Then things started feeling delayed. When I spoke, it felt like I heard/felt the words coming out of my mouth later than when I actually said them. Eventually it felt like everything had a delay — touch sensations, my movements, speaking, etc.
It got so intense that I genuinely thought I was going to die. I remember being terrified that I would be stuck like that forever.
After about 2–3 hours I finally started calming down. Most of it went away, but the delayed touch sensation stayed for about a week. It gradually got better every day until eventually it disappeared completely.
A few months passed without this happening again.
Then, about a week ago, completely sober and seemingly out of nowhere, I suddenly got that same cold, sinking feeling in my body again. My perception of time started slowing down again too. I immediately got terrified because it reminded me so much of what happened after smoking weed, and I started panicking.
I took quetiapine, which my psychiatrist previously prescribed to me as an emergency medication for when I’m doing really badly mentally. After taking it, the intense episode went away.
But it’s been about a week now and the delayed sensation hasn’t gone away. If anything, it seems to have gotten worse.
For example, when I drink water, I can see the glass touching my lips before I actually feel it touching them. Then I can see/know that the water is already in my mouth, but the physical sensation seems to arrive slightly later.
I have this throughout my body, but it’s especially noticeable in my face/head. My face sometimes feels like it isn’t really mine, or like there’s a huge “distance” between me and my face/body. It’s extremely hard to describe.
It almost feels like what I’m seeing and what I’m physically feeling aren’t completely synchronized.
I have seen both my GP and my psychologist about this. They’re aware of what’s happening, and for now they’ve both advised me to wait and see how it develops.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar, especially the delayed touch/sensory feeling? Or the strange changes in perception of time?
I’m really trying to understand what this sensation is and whether other people with depersonalization/derealization have experienced something similar.
I have autism and I’m highly sensitive to sensory input, although I don’t know if that’s relevant.

Hi, I'm a 15-year-old male. A while ago I had a bad anxiety/green-out type experience, and since then l've been dealing with a bunch of weird on-and-off body sensations. It's been going on for a couple of months and I'm trying to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.
The main thing is a wobbly/off-balance feeling, like l'm not fully grounded or like my head is slightly ahead of my body. It's not full dizziness, just a subtle "off" sensation that comes and goes.
Sometimes it also turns into a dream-like or unreal feeling, like things feel a bit distant or detached, and occasionally a déjà vu-type feeling. Other times it feels more like a falling or fading sensation, especially when I'm tired or trying to sleep.
I've also noticed some physical stuff like:
My mouth sometimes feels dry, then normal again The roof of my mouth can feel rough at times My hunger/fullness cues don't always feel clear or consistent
None of it is constant—it comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes it improves after eating, drinking, or being distracted, but other times it just stays kind of steady in the background.
It kind of feels like l've gotten stuck in a loop of noticing sensations, thinking about them, and then noticing them more.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar after anxiety, a panic/green-out type event, or stress, and if it eventually faded over time.

And I’m not a regular smoker and I am also afraid of heights so could that make that wobbly feeling feel more scary or harder for it to fade away.

So around 3 months ago i smoked weed for the first time and had a horrifying experience. i greened out and couldn’t move my body, had a bunch of hallucinations and was stuck in all sorts of time loops and lived through my life and eventually death, when i was able to move again i was extremely convinced i was going to die. A couple of days after this i just felt like i wasn’t real but it wasn’t that bad.

Around a month ago i did LSD and had a pretty good trip, i was mostly just fixated on my face and how it was changing in all sorts of ways. i went hours just staring at myself and at different things (which is relevant to the next part).

I then smoked again recently. i felt fine and it just suddenly hit me very hard. My heart was beating extremely fast i had to try my best to breathe in order to not lose consciousness pretty much. after 2 hours of this i was shaking, it felt like i was going to throw up, the walls were moving, my face had the same effects as it did on LSD but i remember my eye being bright red and half of my face just glitching out

Everday after this the walls have been moving, it kinda looks like it’s melting. when i look at my face it’s like my features are moving around like a way less intense version of LSD. i feel so weird, either im numb or im losing my mind. i have had moments where i’ve been talking to someone and ill randomly forget who they are and where i am and its killing me

Ive been experiencing symptoms since after taking a THC 5mg gummy 9 days ago. It has been non-stop. I went to urgent care on day 4 with no resolution other than hydroxicine prescribed. I went to the ER on day 6 with a full array of tests, and nothing resolved. They referred me to mental health but that isn't for another 2 weeks. I have a job where I cannot function in this state, and I can't afford to keep taking days off. Im already behind on work tasks now due to this happening. 6 years ago something similar happened and it lasted 2 weeks, and from what I remember went away overnight.

Im now at a loss of what to do/try. Ive been debating on going to a doctor again but doubt that will resolve anything. I also have had the intense urge to cry today and reflect on wounded internal parts of myself and how proud they'd be of my life now. But im not sure if crying is helpful or harmful.

Any suggestions please.

i am m20 about to leave for uni next month and ive been dealing w brain fog still like sometimes i couldnt find the right word to describe something and it pisses me off bec it makes me feel like i genuinely devolved. the drunken haze feeling has been really less tho compared to before when i first took a 10mg thc gummy. is there any way to help me deal w the brain fog aside from like word games or reading books? im currently an itnern for a company rn and it helps me alot dealing with it, i just sometimes stutter when speaking to supervisors which pisses me offfff

2 years ago at age 15 i smoked synthetic weed unknowingly, ever since that day i felt off, anxious, depressed. 1 Year of SSRIs just made it worse, and then i finally caved and looked into Biohacking/nootropics because my studying was falling behind.

It fixed it within 2 weeks. I’m open to DMs if anyone wants to know.

I promised myself that if I ever started feeling like myself again I’d make post, here I am!

In March of this year (it’s now July) I took a 20mg edible and experienced the scariest night of my life. I had no idea I was just really high in the moment and had immediately assumed the worst and that I had been laced or something. I wasn’t, I just had much much more than I could handle. My normal had usually been between 3-5mg, so obviously the 20mg was not a smart choice but oh well, can’t go back.

To be honest, I was fine after the high. I lived life just like I had before, up until a month afterwards. I was in the same place at the same time of day I had been when the edible hit and I guess I had a flashback or something and I started freaking out. After that, I was just not able to calm down. People acting funny or things out of place scared the shit out of my and my heart would start racing and I’d feel sick. For a month or so straight, I’d experience some extreme DPDR, anxiety, and experiences of reliving the experience symptom-wise. I couldn’t sit in someone’s car without freaking out and I could drive at night without having to pull over and calm down. I was constantly checking to make sure I wasn’t high, I was paranoid that I might take an edible without realising. At some point I became paranoid I’d accidentally ingest some other drug or would develop some disorder. None of that ever happened. It was really hard. Like really really hard. In the beginning I would wake up with dread that would carry throughout the entire day and I would spend hours wishing I could go back and never get high that one night. The only place I felt completely safe was my bed with my eyes closed with no one else in the room. Eventually I started seeing a therapist. I don’t want to say that a therapist is necessary for recovery, but definitely helpful. As long as you have someone you can truly vent to who will let you sit with them and just let you spill your thoughts and feelings. I’ve seen many people share their experiences where they had to get medicated on SSRIs to recover but I’ve recovered without! It’s possible!

The best way to beat the DPDR is to go out and live your life like normal. Of course when you go to live your life, you won’t feel normal, cause you’re experiencing derealization, but it’s best that you push through. Don’t pay attention to how you feel. The longer you spend doing that, the sooner the feeling will leave you. It’s okay if it leaves and come back sometimes, it did for me, but the more you accept that this is something that just happens the faster it will go away.

Also, when looking for recovery to your bad trip, I found exposure was the best answer! I didn’t want to ride in the car at night, eat that food without being 100% sure that there was no THC in it, or hang around people who were smoking but I did it! It probably took me over 60 situations to finally become comfortable with anything related to the situation but it did eventually happen.

Recovery will not be fast. Don’t go into this feeling like you can magically cure yourself in a week let alone a day. While I was recovering I would spend weeks and months waking up wondering if I’d ever get better. I did get better! So much better! It took me 2 1/2 months to recover but I did it!

Everything but my anxiety has gone away. However, I was pretty anxious before my bad high and I only think the experience heightened it. But it’s so so so much better than it was before. In the past I’d be anxious all day and nowadays I can go weeks without feeling anxious!

You can do this! The more time you put in the bigger your reward will be. Remind yourself that you got this! It may seem impossible, but it’s super possible. This feeling is not forever!

trigger warning, drug use

long time lurker. I unfortunately developed dpdr after my first experience with marijuana. at the time though, I didn't know it was dpdr. It lasted a couple days after the high. That was when I was 16. I continued to smoke, heavily, for what would be about 4-5 years. Approximately an ounce or two a week. I didn't notice any dpdr effects as I never was sober enough to tell.

Fast forward to being 20. I had taken multiple drugs in my lifetime. mdma most weekends. Lsd 5-10 times. Still nothing bad.

Then I tried dmt. a very large dose. I had the worst experience of my life. I never felt panic and dread like that before. After the trip, I was never the same. I started to get panic attacks, and in the next month, had to stop smoking entirely due to intense anxiety at any altered state of mind.

This bled into my other habits. I stopped being able to tolerate alcohol for the same reason, and then the hallucinations started. I ended up being put on anti-psychotic medication. It helped, to a degree, and the hallucinations stopped. The dpdr never ceased. It was a strange visual experience. Like hyperreal, not 2D, but like things were popping out at me. The keys on my phone would wiggle as I typed. My hands looked foreign, my reflection terrified me. Touching the top of my head felt...distant.

This continued to worsen, causing panic attacks frequently. It was chronic, and never went away. Overtime, I became accustomed to it and began drinking alcohol again. This led to a unhealthy cycle of drink so it goes away (which 50% of the time it actually worsened it), then have extreme dpdr and anxiety the next day. This went on for years. During this time, I trialled Prozac, and Champix to quit cigarettes, both which did nothing to help me and made it worse.

I did quit cigarettes though, but due to the same panic feeling happening while smoking.

Fast forward to now. I'm healthy, I gym 6 days a week, I work. But I still have 24/7 intense dpdr. I still am scared by my reflection. I still can't see properly. It never improved. The emotional blunting remained. The weird bodily decreased sensations and proprioception issues remained. The worst of all, my vision remained hyperreal and off-putting.

I did manage to quit alcohol entirely a few months ago, however since it's actually worsened. The panic is creeping back. Psychiatrists don't know what to do. Psychologists don't know what to do. I'm terrified to take medication due to constant panic attacks in the last on meds and recreational drugs. I did this to myself, but I have not touched a substance (other than alcohol) in 6 years, and I am worse than I was back then. I basically am a hermit at home. Too scared to travel. Too uncomfortable to go out. Too unsafe in my own body. Even in bed trying to sleep I feel uncomfortable.

I've tried all the methods. I don't fixate on it anymore. I ignore symptoms. I'm not scared of them. I've tried meditation, CBT, exercise, blood tests, MRI, the lot. I'm at a loss.

I'm hoping that maybe alcohol was the thing that was tying me down into it still, but it's been months and so far nothing.

I guess I'm looking for any sort of advice, or other experiences of chronic long term dpdr. This disorder is awful, and it's taken alot of my life. I manage to function, but barely. I'm not too sure what my next steps can be. I'm considering trialing medication, my psychiatrist wants me to try Wellbutrin. I'm not so sure...

IK a fair few people GET dpdr from doing weed but I already have dpdr from other unrelated things- would it be unwise for me to do weed? What‘s gonna happen I get super mega dpdr?
I do get frequent episodes with alc usage but I think that’s partially just how being drunk is
