After what you have described, it does sound dissociative to me. I'm not sure if you have any specific diagnoses, but people with major depression, PTSD, as well as a couple other disorders can experience dissociative symptoms from time to time when things get to be a bit to much. It's a coping mechanism...kind of like a safety switch in the mind.

I would talk with your T about it, if you have one. And keep posting here as you're comfortable. We'll be here!!

Thank you again. no particular diagnosis for a variety of reasons except i guess anxiety which has lead to depression before as reactive to the anxiety. im not sure at all about talking to my T about it. i tried a little last week but it got sort of glossed over. i ll think about it though.
thanks so much.
