Your post about "Who Stole My Life" inspired me to get that book out and read that part. You were in pain and I didn't thnk it would be appropriate to post it there.

I want my life back too, but it isn't "there". It's "here" and I have to make it what I want. I can't always remember that. I want to "go back". I want to go back to where I lived as if my old life is there waiting. But it isn't. It's here and now. Here and now... this very moment... is all we have.

I hope that 'noticing' the dissociation is helpful for you. I think there will be many revelations for you there.
