I wouldn't say that I'm harmed by my inability to keep touch, per se. My entire consciousness is obviously not completely detached, my body seems to know what to do. If I am functional for all intents and purposes, is it necessarily an issue I should be concerning myself with?

No one can tell you whether this is something you need to focus on, or concern yourself with. No doctors, friends, family, support groups. That is a question you have to answer for youself. I will suggest that coming onto this group and posting shows me that you are at least concerned enough to check in with someone. Perhaps that is your answer, and you're wishing it weren't? Deciding to face the issues can be scary, but also incredibly helpful and healing. Only you will know whether you are ready and/or willing to get into it. I believe that anyone on the planet, mental health issues or not, has issues to face and work through, and the choice to do so or not is 100% theirs.
If you are deciding that you would like support with this, or even have any more questions regarding our experiences, etc. this is a great site for you. I know it can be so frustrating to have to make these decisions on your own sometimes.
I hope that you feel at peace with whatever path you choose, and remember that if you choose one way and it is too much/not enough for you, you can choose to change your mind at any time. If you decide it is important to look into these issues, you have the right to decide at any time that it is not working for you, and vice versa.
All the best,
IJ
