I'm not really sure what dissociation is so I'm going to give a couple of examples and see what you think.

When I was 17 I was date raped. It's like I didn't really experience it because I watched it from the top of the seat in the car. I just sat and watched.

Other times when I really be come uncontrolably upset can leave the situtation where i don't hear the other person or what's going on around me. It's like I'm not there. I can choose to do this when I get to emtionally upset and feel I can't handle the situation. It includes rocking and rapid eye movement.

Does this ring any bells with anyone. I don't do if often enough for it to be a problem, but I was just wondering if this is dissociation.

Thanks for your imput.
