Anxiety and stress is a huge trigger for us....and also when a part momentarily takes over (just because they do). I practice grounding techniques which I guess sounds like relaxing and focusing techniques to quell the anxiety it’s self, like controlled breathing, distraction, focusing on an object noting details going into my little bubble until I calm a bit.
It seems the more prominent the dp/dr feeling is, the more anxious I become as if it is self feeding. Hmm, never thought of it that way.
Anyhow, I believe that you can learn to control your anxiety to a point by talking yourself down and using grounding techniques.
Have you a therapist? If not....they can help teach you techniques or help find out why you get anxious. GP’s or Pdoc’s can prescribe medication to keep one calm.
Good luck, gotta go.
