yes anxiety can cause a person to feel / have dissociation symptoms...

maybe it will help you if you know more about the term ...dissociation....

picture yourself on a race track... each mile, quarter mile, eighth mile... represents a dissociation symptom....

the starting point is whats called normal dissociation...this is the ability to daydream, space out, high levels of concentration, numbing of emotions/feelings/ feelings of detachment/ unconnectedness....and other completely normal types of dissociation every person is born with..

then as you walk or run around this race track you hit different check points..these check points are the different dissociative disorders.

in between these check points are symptoms that lead up to those disorders.

these symptoms that lead up to the disorders are variations of whats normal...

kind of like a race track is made up of different grades of dirt, hills, straight aways, curves...

what makes these symptoms abnormal is different for everyone...

everyone is different.. they have their own stress levels, their own body make up, their own experiences, their own tolerance levels for things like stress, anxiety, depression. medications, physical challenges, mental challenges....environmental issues.... a whole bunch of things go into how a person reacts to their life, people in their lives, their location, culture...all kinds of stuff.

because of all this diversity with in a human being and their lives, anything and everything can cause them to go from their normal state of mind to a dissociative state of mind that is not their normal way of being.

for some people its work issues that causes them to dissociate
for others its a celebration
for this person over here its their medicaton
for that person over there its their OCD
for that guy its breaking up with his girl/guy
for this guy its the death of his child
this student is preoccupied with a class
thatt student is bored with their class
this driver is so concentrated on their cell phone that they miss their destination
that driver gets so focused on their thoiughts that they are not paying attention to where they are driving....

my point is dissociation is one of those things that is a normal human response to everything and anything..

the result is anything and everything can cause a person to dissociate..

the only person that can say whether ...your....dissociation symptoms are coming from your OCD/anxiety issues is you and your treatment providers..

how you figure that out is by taking into consideration things like what your dissociative triggers are, what your dissociative reactions are, what your life issues are, what your medications are, what your job is like and other personal to you situations and events are.. you look at what is your normal reactions to everything are vs what your abnormal reactions are and much more....

most people that I know discover whether they are dissociating and what its from and how to fix the problem by talking with their treatment providers. a rare few can pin point where things went a bit off, why they reacted that way and how to fix that problem...

for some its a change in meds, for others its a change in jobs, for others its having someone to talk to, for some its learning grounding, for others its learning/doing edmr, dbt and other anxiety/behavior changing things..

for me right now its work issues, pregnancy, depression, bipolar disorder and other things that cause me to have dissociation symptoms and my treatment providers and I fix the problem based on my dissociative triggers..lightened my work load, changed/dropped some meds until after the baby is born, getting enough sleep and dietary changes...

again only you and your treatment providers can say why this is recently happening to you.
