I don't know if this has anything to do with Dissociation or what you have experienced. But I grew up in a very rural, isolated community and lived there the first 29 years of my life. I then moved almost two thousand miles away to another state. Bigger town, more people, tons of traffic, everything is different. Though I've moved over a decade ago I still have these moments mostly when I am out sitting in traffic where I get this weird panic come over me. I think to myself OMG Where am I?? How did I get here??? I used to chalk that up to culture shock. But sometimes I wonder about that little panicing voice inside of me that has no clue how I got here, cannot believe I am living here, then cannot believe I would move here of all places, etc. Does that have anything to do with dissociation?
