What you're describing is not the disassociating...it's the emptiness. In disassociating, you're not quite there, your mind is in a fog. I always look at it almost as one of those "out of body" experiences you hear about when people are dead. You're there, you're able to function kinda, but it's like nothing is connected together.
I have the emptiness you're describing but not as often. The last time I had it, and it lasted several days, was after a heated argument with my husband where he called me a few choice words. I broke down at the time and woke up "all there", but feeling....nothing.
