I’ve taken hallucinogens as a youngster, so getting like that in no way stresses me out....also being used to it, I don’t mind it unless it happens at a most inconvient time.

How do you deal with your dp/dr?
its called macropsia now and is one of the mental disorders treatment providers..... have...... to tell you, you have when they diagnose with with OSDD... (they have to because its part of the diagnostic requirements, thats what specified means in diagnostic labels in the DSM 5.)

I had a thread going on this topic but I chose to close it because it was off topic, no one participating in the thread was saying they had macropsia and how it was affecting them, in fact everyone that posted said they do not have it. here is the thread I had going where other posters said they did not have it and instead talked about other things....

my suggestion is if you google it you may find what you are looking for,

another suggestion maybe you can talk with your treatment provider and have them give you some meds that work for this.

mind you to diagnose you with dissociative form of macropsia they will have to do an evaluation to make sure the drugs and alcohol and other listed mental disorders including dissociative is not why you have it. (a diagnostic requirement for any dissociative disorder including those on treatment provider only listings like macropsia.)
