I got olanzapine (2,5mg) today. The doctor said that I only should take it if needed, if my anxiety is very strong. Anyone that has experience with this medication for anxiety?

I always have shaved legs to make my scars more visible (the leg hair otherwise covers the scars since I have dark hair). I don’t feel valid when my scars are fading/not visible, so shaving is harm reduction in a way. I feel so weird doing it for that reason though, am I alone in this? Lmao.

(Note: I don’t have a diagnosis, but professionals have confirmed that I struggle with both depersonalisation and derealiazation).

If you’ve struggled all of your life, is it even possible for the dissociation to go away? Anyone here that has been cured? How?

Context: I’ve struggled with dissociation all my life (even as a toddler I tried to understand why everything felt surreal and why I wasn’t inside of myself). I was abused as a child, that’s probably the reason why. Psychiatrists aren’t sure what my diagnosis is, but probably PTSD/personality disorder/some kind of dissociation disorder. My dissociation never goes away, it just varies in intensity.
