A weird thing happened to me at the dentist and after I tried to explain it to my T he said it was dissociation. I always thought that people who dissociate are people with DID and i don't have that... I dont do it all the time or lose time or hear voices or have parts or anything. So I feel ashamed that I did that dissociation thing... kwim? And worry that I am falling apart or going crazy or that maybe I shouldnt talk about it. But I am terrified it will happen again...in fact I was sort of fuzzy/out of focus with myself if that makes sense...like I was walking just a bit out of myself for almost a week afterwards and didnt know how to snap back into focus. And I worried what that meant too.
does this ring a bell with anyone?? What do you do?? Do you worry about dissociating? Do you fight it if you feel it starting to happen? I have even been having trouble falling asleep because I can't let go and relax.
