I have, and it was such a confusing moment for me. I was consciously aware of the internal debate the entire time, the reasoning, the distractions.. It was like my mind was separated into a few different parts all looking at itself... Which might not really make much sense. I tend to think, as others in this thread have said, that it's part of the addiction or being uncomfortable in some way with the emotion so my mind sought out a more familiar 'acceptable' sensation than what I was dealing with regardless of how positive it was.

I've been contemplating on the aspect of dissociation or depersonalization when it comes to these kinds of situations for myself... However it's hard to pinpoint the situation and I haven't had enough time to work it out with a therapist yet, and even then I know that my therapist is human and can make errors in observation and judgment so...

The short answer is: yes.
