I find that stopping patterns help more. If you dissociate more in your bedroom, try to get out of there and spend time in the living room.

Try to not consume content but rather do something. Doodling even. Look forward to doing something. Anything that requires some brain activity that requires you to interact.

Don’t be afraid of failing that activity. No one succeeds on the first try.

Switch your mindset to look forward to things.

Watching TV is better than scrolling mindlessly through your phone.

My therapist has started me with a gratitude journal and I stopped dissociating after work. I’m tired and I wish I could be painting minis but instead I’m watching community and doodling. Sometimes if I have some energy, I paint a little.

I still find myself some days to say fuck this and scroll.

Hope you find something that helps

Therapy and medication

dissociating is the only way i stay sane

CBT would probably help.

I like disassociating personally. I disassociate because of stress and it helps me be less stressed.
