Anyone with similar experiences? It would help my frustrations to know that I'm not completely alone in this matter.
I had this problem but it wasnt because of a dissociative issue.. my dissociative issues involved me dissociating when in situations that were hard for me,

the times I felt like this was when my medications made me feel this way, or I was sleep deprived, not enough food, liquids...after I was treated for the problem things went back to normal for me. usually that treatment entailed medication changes.
