Struggling with Intense Dissociation Symptoms - Need Advice

Well carry a fidget spinner in your pocket infact drown your pockets all of them with fidgets and keep grounded by playing with something different in your hand like a clicket fidget it clicks so you hear it and feel it so it's a win win unless you dislike the click it makes. There's all kinds of fidgets but it keeps you present and in the moment sometimes I will take a nap to try to rest off whatever was giving me anxiety but for the most part fidget spinners really or fidgets.

Same, though I didn’t know I was disassociating until it got so I bad I couldn’t really move. Using a grounding techniques (square breathing, 5 senses, etc.) should help if it’s ever just anxiety, but I know for me my dissociation is a response to muffle the pain I experience when I’m overstimulated, so when I use grounding techniques I start feeling that pain. For right now I just go somewhere dark and quiet let myself space out/play something to distract myself till it dies down, but I’ve gotten referred for pain meds to help with it. I haven’t started taking anything or found any posts about people doing that sort of thing so I’m not sure if/how it works, but it’s something you could look into
