Hi Childlike Empress,

It happens to me very fast, so its been hard to catch myself before it happens and ground myself.

Sometimes I like it a little - it just deadens the pain some. But I don't like it if its happening to me at work or someplace where I don't wish to be embarrassed or do badly because of it.

Sometimes I like it in counseling, and it happens there once in a while, because it removes me from the pain of what we are discussing.

But I think it freaks my therapist out a little - although I guess he knows what it is - (I'm not sure?) - I know my medical Dr knows what it is very well and handles it very well.

It does help when people are knowledgeable and handle it well.
