Nature would have cured me if only I knew how to solve dissociation, depression, anxiety issues

I try to take a deep breath and imagine I'm floating on a cloud while listening to my favorite songs. I end up being transported, in my brain, to a calm place where there are no problems. The problem is that even this is becoming difficult and I need to concentrate more because if I continue to see no sense in all this here, I will be another distant and fleeting memory.

The disassociation may be a self-protection mechanism. Depression may be circumstantial or biological, anxiety may have a biological or developmental cause, however, experimentation in how to create a safe environment where you can be certain of control may be a way to lower anxieties.

If you attend an AA meeting, you might see that others have found alcohol to contribute to disassociation, depression, and only temporarily numb anxiety.

You might consider creating a small corner of your life for experimentation like joining a weekly reading group that meets at a library, doing volunteer work, taking a liesure learning class, or visiting a bible study. Such social dabbling might open up opportunities that you did not expect.

I'm also thinking of dropping my anti depressants m feel like they have done all they were all supposed to do, now it's up to me to take command of my life and save lots of money.
