To me, I don't generally feel it. I just stop existing, even though my body keeps going and ends up doing destructive things. The way I experience my bad dissociation is literally one second I'm at home eating lunch, and a second later I'm in 4 points at the ER and 7 hours has passed.

I zone out a lot too, but I'm not sure if that's dissociation. People around me see it real quick, they say I glaze over and stop responding. I'm in la la land at that point.
