In reply to Mirror anxiety -- Dissociation?, posted by Pari on April 10, 2001, at 23:58:19
Pari,
I believe that the consensus is that medication helps with the symptoms of dissociation (anxiety and depression), but the roots of why you dissociate need to be worked on in therapy.
Are you currently in therapy? What happened to you in the mirror has happened to me a lot during my life and it has taken therapy to help me deal with it when I cannot stop it, and also to go back to the root causes of my dissociation and work through those. Unless what you experienced was just a flashback of your LSD trip, I hope that you have a good therapist who knows how to work with dissociation.
