No, that's cool. Disassociation is a feeling of numbness that spreads through your body. It's hard to explain. It's like I'm getting really anxious or upset one minute and the next I'm numb and most of the pain is gone. Unlike the emptiness, however, it does affect how well you think and your memory. It usually takes the sharpness out of my memory, makes me forget details, but there's been a few times where I'd had problems recalling much of anything...like the time it severely happened in the classroom. I forgot what I was teaching....in the middle of a lesson as well as my kids names. Pretty ridiculous, and that's an extreme case. It's usually not that bad.
