Actually I don't have a dissociative disorder, my diagnosis is schizophrenia and I've only dissociated a few times (four, maybe). And it has always been for a short time only. I don't think my episodes of dissociation would warrant a diagnosis of any sort.

The episodes about the sensory filter issue were not stress related. I was not tired in those cases and I could think straight but I could not see the world very well, everything was distorted. All I could notice as a trigger was that in these cases my mind was again trying to go far from reality but more in an unconscious fashion - if that makes sense...?
I hope I can find a way to discuss with a professional about all this, yes, but in the meantime it's maybe helpful to be able to talk at least here... thanks.

From personal experience I think it would be easier for you to change the thoughts that are troubling you if you had someone to talk to about them, maybe just a friend who can relate. And I agree with Loial, you might get better opinions at the dissociative disorders section and maybe you'd even find someone with similar experiences. Worth trying, at least! Wish I could help more.
