Vision and hearing issues, or something else?

It’s totally possible—I've been dealing with depersonalization for two years now and it hasn't let up for a single second. Honestly, I just accepted it and learned how to live with it—even though I'm on edge every single moment, I'm still here, I'm not crazy... sometimes it just has to stop... trust me, if anyone actually knows what depersonalization feels like, it's me... and I'm not even taking meds because I just don't want to, I can handle this—plus my psychiatrist told me I'm technically recovered even if it's dragging on... you just have to try thinking that way, because eventually, it’s gotta end
I've got those exact same symptoms too—whenever things start feeling unreal, I just tell myself: "DUH, YOU ARE REAL AND THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING" (okay, maybe I sigh a little first)... I use ice water to ground myself... but man, I'm fighting this every single second and nobody even notices I'm struggling😁
