Hi Sognaz - welcome to PC! It takes a while for your first 5 posts to show so they might get missed. We're not intentionally ignoring anyone: we're a friendly bunch really!

I don't have schizophrenia, but I have dissociated before as a coping mechanism. My mind just checked out to protect myself. It wasn't consciously controlled though and hasn't happened in a very long time.

I don't really understand what you mean by "just keeps rolling around and stops working properly" though - could you explain further?

All the best,
