I cry during the whole time. If I talk to her in that state I sound like a hurt child, or very angry.
Does anyone else experience this sort of thing?

I have been dissociating since I was 12 years old. I had just entered junior high school and couldn't deal with the new teachers and kids. So I've been dissociating ever since. I sometimes dissociate during therapy sessions. I usually tell my T that I'm doing it. I kind of feel like I am there, but not there. A lot of times when I'm typing on my computer I'll get an attack. It usually feels like my fingers can't feel the keys. I don't feel attached to my body. Sometimes I pinch myself to make sure I'm really here.
You don't have to have DID to dissociate. There are all sorts of ways that people dissociate. There's always a continuum.
