Hi Umight,

Lots of people dissociate and are not DID. Lots of people who are DID dissociate. I'm sure it seemed scary to you, but it's perfectly normal for most of us. It is the mind's way of protecting itself when too much stress is happening.

There is information here on the site which you can access to learn more about dissociation. You are not falling apart or going crazy. The only time I fight it is when I know I'll be driving or I have to communicate fully with someone.

Please calm down, take a deep breath and read about it. Many people often dissociate in a scary place like a dentist's office.
