Some other ideas are putting ice on your wrist and letting it melt, having sour food, shocking the senses, etc. I suggest doing anything that brings you back to reality. You can take a walk, meditate, whatever it takes as long as it a positive coping skill. Sometimes all you can do is wait it out, or ride the wave. If its anxiety-provoking then I suggest doing breathing skills to calm yourself down and collect yourself. I know dissociation is a struggle and I wish you the best.
