i feel almost like i'm drunk or something because of the dissociation. it started not long after i woke up this morning and has been going on on and off the last few days...but i didn't really know it was happening and have been confused for days. i don't lose time...it's just..this drunk-like feeling that makes things feel very strange...and then i don't always remember a few hours or a day or two after if it lessens again....except it's still me typing this..so..i'm not understanding how this even works.

Hang in there. I can get it I think, but we don't feel drunk. We feel dazed and confused. I try fighting it because I don't like it. I've got to get real intense like because if I relax, it starts winning. After several hours I'll come out of it. It's triggered by situations beyond our ability to successfully handle.
