I know a little about dissociation, picklewheeze, and I can definitely understand what you mean, in a theoretical way. If I recall correctly, dissociation is a disconnection and impairment of cognitive thinking. So your thought process becomes distorted. But I'm more talking about emotional rather than cognitive detachment, but I guess cognitive impairment can effect your emotional mind set.... Anyway.... I do sincerely hope that you find relief soon and thank you for your contribution .
That is a little dysfuntional, Payne1. Maybe being born into it creates the illusion of normalcy, that it is simply how it's always been.
