Amanda: based on how your response it sounds like I don't have dissociative disorder. I'm just very bothered by how often I "leave the room" in my head and move off into some fantasy or a million different brainstorms about what this or that might mean.

Maybe there is no name for what I do and no clear way to fight it. I'm getting discouraged because I don't really understand what I'm going through or how to battle it. All I know is I don't want to be this way. I want to be able to go outside and actually hear what's going on instead of hearing all the random thoughts and tangents my brain runs into.
