Dealing with Severe Dissociation

i live in such a constant dissociative state that its hard to know what reality feels like. it feels like it's gotten so severe these last few days. it's hard to describe what it even feels like because i'm so extremely detached. how do i deal with it or take care of myself during these episodes?
