THC turns off the default mode network... CBD protects it. I did a post around this previously:

I would say I took CBD oil for the last 2 months and it helped but I stopped 2 days ago... the reason I stopped is that I think it numbed my emotions. This can be helpful short term if they are depression or anxiety.. long term I think I need them to recover. Also, I stopped dreaming which is coming back since I stopped. Dreaming is something we throw away as unnecessary, but I think it is important to process negative emotions. It may help me reconnect with my subconscious and remember things about myself that I didnt want to be true.. research in dreaming is sparse so this is just my opinion. But will try 2 months off CBD to see what progress I make, as I am now taking Lion's mane which is reconnecting me to my emotions (it releases nerve growth factor, and I believe I need this as connections to childhood traumas have been cut off to protect me, but also cause my DPD)

Hold under the tongue for 1minute. Sublingual is the most effective way for immediate results (well.. unless you inject or inhale actually.. a vape would be best).. Then after that swallow it.. the first dose was very effective for me.. then it wore off as the days and weeks went on, but I think it was more 'stabilising'. The issue for me was, it helped and if it made me functional enough to work fantastic. But it numbed off the severe depression and anger i think i have to FEEL to overcome this. That is just my experience of it. If your DP is mild or anxiety related, go for it

Yeh true.. it is a good drug for physical pain and mild anxiety or depression.. But I think that if you are already quite dissociated that isn't going to help.

My next step is to try microdosing magic mushrooms (well truffles actually) and see how that goes.. 0.2g every 4 days has been good for peoples depression and ptsd. I don't believe this low a dose would be dangerous necessarily, and psilocybin is a strong agonist of serotonin receptors. Whilst antidepressants have made me worse, I am open minded to this helping. Supposedly Psilocybin acts to 'reset' the brain, such as in major treatment resistant depression:

As I have tried all the legal options and found no benefit, this is now where I am at. It can have effects described as 'the heart opening' which by the sounds of it, is exactly what I need. At sensible amounts it could be helpful I hope
