Coping with time loss

How do you all cope with knowing that you’re not here even though time is passing? I find myself being completely aware that I’m not in my body. I’m able to express that to other people I just cannot connect to myself. I feel this about a lot of things in my life because it feels like my life is paused somehow (?) and when it gets real that time is passing for other people I feel so much worse.

Basically I feel like I’m missing out on the life I’m living because I can’t stop dissociating.

I got this necklace in late February, after the first couple wears the back started to look worn out and I couldn’t buff it clean. I started only wearing it to work and then cleaning it with the pouch and leaving it in there overnight. No improvement. Then I read that silver likes to be worn and I should be washing it in the shower with me as well and now after a week of doing so it looks like this. I don’t use any perfume or lotion on my neck, I use very light unscented soap on it in the shower. Idk what’s happening but I’m so upset! I’ve only had it for two months I shouldn’t already need a professional buff or cleaning. This was my first big/nice jewelry purchase and I’m starting to regret it.

I got the necklace at the Tiffany’s in Rockefeller center in NYC. Also my skin has always reacted poorly to any jewelry besides stainless and surgical steel. Everything turns green on me fast and give me rashes. I was investing in myself and in a necklace I could finally wear and I feel like I’ve ruined it.
