That's how to overcome depression, anxiety and dissociation. We ask ourselves "what if?" and tell ourselves stories, until we figure out what our values are, what our options are and what our goals could be.

Then the path becomes tangible, even if it may be windy or rocky or steep or muddy.

Anyone here also annoyed about bad advice of this kind:

"I'm quite dissociated at the moment" ⇒ "What about doing some grounding/mindfulness exercise?"

[not subposting anyone on here]

Like, dude, there are so many reasons for dissociation; some of them may have to do that our surrounding are inherently unsafe for ourselves, and just doing some "grounding exercises" can do so much harm. It's a symptom, often a protective one, a bit like fewer maybe. Fighting symptom alone often makes things so much worse...

Better advice: Ask yourselves if the dissociation has something to do with pain, overwhelm, or something else that makes it unsafe to engage with the surroundings/senses. Find the causes and make adjustments; maybe a change the setting/location could help, or go have some sleep/nap and stim if everything is too much. If it's safe to engage with the outer/inner worlds again, then it's safe to practice grounding.

Discovering that you're plural at 45 is a wild ride. While the past months have definitely presented some challenges as I(and my headmates) adjust, some things that happen are absolutely hilarious, or so absurd you just have to laugh. Other days are absolutely magical. Each day brings new opportunities for growth and understanding.
