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?

I experience this visual distortion occasionally as part of my dissociation. I don't feel the need to tag a label on it. Like you I just enjoy the distorted perception, or feeling of derealization or whatever. I do enjoy the curious detachment of derealization. I really don't bother to label it or "disorderize" it. It just happens to be a part of my parcel of dissociative symptoms that I can actually enjoy. It seems meaningless to me to "diagnose" it.
