What a great thread! Thank you to everyone who's posted.
I have different ways I feel when I dissociate.
In the past I would lose time. I'd suddenly find myself some place other than where I'd been doing something different. That didn't happen too often.
The most common feeling was that I'd :just" go away. I went some place deep inside my head and didn't interact with the outside world. Oddly, there must have been some part of me keeping track of what was going on outside because when the threat was gone I'd come back.
There were also times I felt like I was sitting in the backseat while someone else drove the body. I was aware of what was happening I just didn't have anything to do with it.
There's something that happens to me I haven't seen anyone else mention. There are times I feel a shifting to the side in my head. I know that we don't have nerves to sense movement etc in our brains, but I swaer I feel a shifting inside. Does anyone else experience this?
