Hi PurpleFlyingMonkeys. I've experienced a lot of different kinds or levels of dissociation. There's a lot of factors that come into play, who's coming out, who's receding, why is the switch happening, how mentally healthy we are other ways. I've experienced black outs, flying away after a spark, sometimes I've literally felt "someone else" tap on my shoulder, and I step back while they step forward. sometimes it's been like being behind a two-way mirror, I can hear what sounds like my voice talking, but I'm not the one saying it, and the one talking can't hear me. Sometimes it's been like having ghost limbs, like I think I'm doing one thing, while something else is happening, and in those moments I just sort of realize it.

That probably wasn't very helpful, was it? Since I've been working at it though, I've had far fewer blackouts and much better understanding within myself.
