I am sorry to hear you are going through such a rough time. I recently was struggling with DP/DR myself. I had no clue what it was but remembered going through something similar when I was in highschool. I thought I was going crazy and was stuck in the matrix. Totally tripped myself out for awhile. I have never done acid for the reason that I feel I am already someone who "trips" out without even needing drugs so I thought it might be a bad idea.i have tried other drugs and never had a problem with them. I am sober now though. I realized alcohol aggravated all my dp/Dr symptoms so it was best to stay away. I struggle with anxiety too and I can tell you what has taken me from regularly feeling like an 8/10 on the anxiety/dp/Dr scale to being a 3/10.
First, I came to the realization that all the things I think are just thoughts. They aren't truth. Just because I'm thinking something doesn't mean it has any meaning behind it. People have weird thoughts! This site is a perfect example of how humans have odd thoughts and it doesn't make them true. I also realized I was lacking alot of meaning in my life. I had no connection to my spiritual side, wasn't eating nutrient dense food and never exercised. My soul, mind and body were not being taken care of! I then realized I was having a spiritual/life Awakening. I needed more from my life and I needed to take care of me. Once I became aware I started making changes. I didn't feel results right away but that was ok! I'm someone who expects to see results instantly and that isn't how it works. These things take time! It's a journey of healing. I also was using CBD in the beginning which helped ease my anxiety some without any psychoactive scariness. I have since stopped using it regularly and only sometimes use it when I feel I really really need it. I discovered the benefits of using herbal medicine instead of pharmaceutical meds. I highly recommend this. There are little to no side effects from herbal remedies. I would suggest ashwaganda and lemonbalm for use during the day and kava and passionflower for night use. Please research these before taking them. Don't use these unless you are certain your medicine won't interact with them. I would say don't use them at all until you are off pharmaceutical meds if you choose to go this route. Herbal remedies have been a complete game changer for me. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. I believe nature has cure for every one of our ailments.thats just me though. I am still trying to get exercise and meditation incorporated daily into my routine. I've learned that sitting with your thoughts instead of forcing them away or pushing them down is also important. Allow them to come into your mind. Even welcome them. They are part of me and I am grateful I am so creative and imaginative that I can come up with them! Treat them like you would treat them as a kid. You would think "cool, what an interesting thought!" You wouldn't get all hung up on it and think "omg what does that thought mean..am I crazy..oh no I'm going crazy" allow them to come in and out instead of grasping at them. I know that is hard to do but once you start allowing thoughts to just be you realize they cant hurt you. Your reaction to the thought is what ends up hurting you. I also tell myself I don't want to be in a battle with myself. In this day and age when everything and everyone seems to be battling the last person I want to fight is me. I came into this world with myself and I will leave it with myself. I am becoming my own best friend instead of my enemy.i would seek out a spiritual teacher/healer and maybe have some energy work done. See what parts of you are out of sync. These are all just tools to use but the real healing comes from inside you. Decide you want to heal and you will. The universe/god/goddess only gives you as much as you can handle. These hard times will lead you to your highest potential. You got this. I promise. Never give up and believe you will succeed.
