I didn't know that there are different kinds of dissociation. I only learned about dissociation when I started with T a year and a half ago. She pointed out the times in the history I gave her when she said I was dissociating. If she's right, then my dissociating at least is just "being somewhere else," "not being me," not being where I was.

This usually happened when I was staring at illustrations in children's books. Later while I was reading print. But it also happened in other places both inside and outside when I'd feel drawn into a particular thing or area I saw. When things got too hot, I went away. Still do it now, though not as much. You lose track of time. I've lost whole days and more. Take care!
