Hello friends! My turn to ask for a little help. As you all know I am DID but had 6 years of therapy and pretty much dealt with as much as we could.

The thing is I do from time to time block people out, particularly when someone is talking to me or when I am trying to concentrate in an important meeting I will block out what is being said. This is dissociation in that I can't hear what anyone is saying. Now, this used to happened particularly when someone was saying something nice to me so I never got to hear what nice things people said to me!

Anyhow, it is disconcerting. In a meeting today someone was saying something important and I didn't hear it so I had to ask them to repeat what they said twice! And I still didn't get it!

Also in the meeting today a chap was going on about important fire regulations, I tried to concentrate and then he appeared to say something really odd and out of context. The sentence didn't belong in his paragraph.

I do cope with all this (trying to do grounding etc) but would really like to be able to hear what people are actually saying to me whether it is nice or not!
