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.

I don't think I ever disassociated then. I don't know what to make of things recently. I used to just shove everything deep down, and put a mask on for everyone. I was talking to my T about this recently. I was talking about how I used to handle things, and how I am trying to handle things now. I find it difficult to get anything done at work, and I am worried about failing some classes. Hopefully I am handling things better, but it feels like I am on a downslope. Maybe things get worse before they get better, I dunno.
Sry, I don't mean to hijack your thread with my own issues.
