Hey Muddy, thank you! I’m doing good. I slept great last night 9 hours. I rarely take klonopin, may take it a couple times a month at most; so when I do use it it’s very effective since I don’t have a tolerance built up. After it kicked in and I was feeing better I put some perfume on to further ground myself and did some organizing and rearranging some furniture in my apartment and am happy with how it looks now.

Even though I dissociated and panicked yesterday that was the first time in almost 2 weeks so the overall trend is that it’s happening less often so that’s still good even though I’m mad the streak got ruined lol I asked my therapist before if it’s possible to get rid of dissociation entirely and she said she wasn’t sure about entirely but it can definitely be lessened or made more tolerable with coping and grounding skills. So maybe I shouldn’t aim for perfection. At least it’s some progress.
