I struggle with dissociating a lot. What was the most game changing thing for me was getting a service dog. Having her helps slow, if not completely stop the dissociative episode altogether.

That's really awesome, I would love to get a service dog, but I dont know how I would ever afford the cost to get one.

This sounds really basic but box breathing definitely helps me stay grounded
