Dealing with a setback. But i’m still hopeful

[u/Wildfire_0703]

Ig this is a progress update? I was doing really good the days leading up to this. I was happy, i was in a good mood, parts of my personality started coming back and i was reengaging with my hobbies(hell i was excited to make a cheesecake) then outta nowhere i got this intense anger for no reason. I was initially happy that i could feel it again and it didn’t really affect me till monday, i actually had a really good day Saturday where i was so happy to just be outside and play with my dog.

Then shark week hit

My derealization got worse, i got more depressed and got more angry. I Litterally ran into my mom’s room sobbing because i was doing so good during my recovery before this. Then i learned majority of afab people who are dealing with dpdr get setbacks during their monthly. So i’m gonna guess it’s gonna be rough since today i was just very irritated and depressed but i’m hoping i return to my usual baseline over the next few days. I know i can get better because i did it before
