Anybody here ever successfully managed dissociation before? Been struggling and have for many years since childhood. Therapy sucks and medications are worse. I did both for 10 years straight and feel better without them. I have done the EMDR/ACT/CBT etc. Still, I just can't manage against it at times no matter what I try.

AI and some old forums tell me to wear a necklace with pendant so I will feel it bumping around and on my neck to help me snap out of it a bit and at least make me realize it is happening. Seems like an okay idea to try but I don't really want to because I have nothing important enough to me to wear on a necklace and I am not attractive or have a good sense of fashion to wear one anyways.

Sometimes I put a sharpie dot on my left hand and when I see it it can remind me to wake up and realize I am actually alive and moving and possess choice and reason. It is easy to pass off as "Oh, I don't know how that got there" until it is there everyday for weeks people may notice. I have also tried alarms on my phone but they are pretty annoying and I don't like them going off in public. I have tried the 5-4-3-2-1 technique and it sometimes helps but a lot of the time not really.

I want to stop feeling like a low tier troop in a RTS being controlled by a retard and strive to have long term lucidity and some light in my eyes. What do you anons do? What works or is worth trying?
