This keeps happening to me and it feels like a new thing (although I can never be sure). I just literally 'zone out', get lost in my own thoughts and then 'come back' again. I wouldn't call it dissociating as such, as I'm still there in the room, with whoever it is I'm speaking/listening to, but... I don't know, it's hard to explain. I feel like my memory is terrible at the moment, I can't retain information properly and sometimes I just get 'lost' in the middle of talking to people - I literally have to stop, close my eyes and centre for a second before I can carry on speaking.

I feel a bit like there's so much going on in my head that something is deciding what to prioritise and what to switch off from - but it's not me actively controlling that.

Any thoughts?
