I was diagnosed with dissociation about 3 years ago. Although I think I may have had it almost all my life.
For a while I didn't know when I was dissociating.
I knew I felt "odd", almost "high" as I explained it to my therapist.
Now my therapist can tell when I am dissociating (if a convo gets to heavy).
He will begin to point it out by saying "it feels bubbly in here". Thats the best I can explain it.
Also, another thing I just learned that has to do with dissociation, is memory; remembering what you did last week or even yesterday. I'm guessing if you block things out a lot as I do.
I know I also get easily confused from it too. Caffeine seems to help with that ;/
And losing track of time seems to be a symptom as well.
Does anyone know how to stop dissociating?
Sometimes I feel like I can't stop? Like it gives me temporary relief, like a drug in itself. Has anyone else have these experiences?
Sorry, I am fairly new to recovery
