Hi,
I have a family member who dissociates. It happens a little to me too.
I describe it more as being in a daze and having to pull oneself
back to the now or reality of what one is doing. The family doctor
says it is not a good sign because it means the person who is
having this problem is finding it hard to cope because everything
is getting too much. That makes sense to me because we (my family) have been traumatised for a long time. Apparently long periods of
coping with stress can cause depression/anxiety which actually
alters the biology of the brain which is why medications may be prescribed. So it isn't just all in the mind but can be a physical problem.
I am only just learning about all this so bear with me if I am rambling.
