Yes Abby, it sounds like dissociation to me too. You dissociate when you can't handle your feelings. I agree with Rapunzel to stay aware and try to figure out what is triggering you. SI helps to stop dissociation and bring you back into your body. SI grounds you. There are other ways to ground yourself by focusing on your environment and the way something feels, smells, looks or tastes (putting candy in your mouth).
