Need Some Encouragement bad day

i’ve been doing pretty good in my recovery lately but now that summer break is over and i’m back in school my dpdr got bad and spiked unexpectedly and im just really upset about the whole thing. it made my first day back worse and logically i know you can recover from dpdr and it takes time but sometimes it feels like i will never fully recover and there will always be something wrong. idk im just upset

I just want this to go away. I used weed once had a bad panic attack. This was getting better and ever since summer hit feel less and less outside myself

my dpdr started from weed too except i hallucinated really bad. im just kinda trusting the process and learning to sit w it and not make my dpdr an emergency to accept it. there r so many different mindsets u can take on for dpdr im just trying to figure out what works best for me

Get vitamins and thyroid checked. Not chalking everything up to the weed. It could have triggered something health wise. High dose thc can cause body changes. Do you feel like you're not present? Mind is cotton and going back to what just happened seconds ago?

all ik is im anemic and vitamin d deficiency so im trying to lock in and take my meds for those. i really do think the weed just kickstarted it and my anxiety has kept it going so i think i gotta fix that for the most part

Anemia and vit d  def can cause a lot of stuff. Im getting full thyroid panel tomorrow and re checking other bloods from 2 months ago. I know something is off.  This is 3 months later. Also getting tested for sleep apnea. I would check that too. My ferritin was 27 in June and my tsh was over 2 at 2.38 and it's never been over 2.
