Why does alcohol make stress and depression “go away” almost instantly but is making it worse in the long run?
In: 125
I had something called derealization for 3 weeks from taking a small 5 mg dose of an edible. Basically it’s when your brain trys to protect itself by isolating you from the world around you. You feel like you’re autopilot and you’re not actually yourself. Like you’re living in a dream. Apparently it’s a symptom of severe anxiety that can be seen with intense trauma or hallucinogenic drugs.
Any way, how this relates to the op, when I had this issue drinking alcohol was one of the only things that made me feel normal. I drank a bit one night and managed to convince myself I cured the derealization/depersonalization. When I sobered up it was back unfortunately though.
