Nice thread. I have been aware of some of my dissociations for only very short time now, but here is what I have noticed so far: 1.a trigger is something too painful to remain present, so I'm escaping pain 2. I have had a few complete take-overs; I only know because I remember waking up from them. Or rather, I could observe myself like from the side. It's hard to des done. 3. I had potentially take-overs with a complete amnesia. J suspect this because of people telling me about things I did/said, which I'm not aware of. 4. I do feel kinda dreamy and detached way too often. I also know the feeling that things are not real.

And I have been thinking tonight that I've lost many years of my life on i really don't know what; actually it feels like a broken life, got myself quite depressed with that. And I'm also quite angry with people around me; you shouldn't be allowed to seat in a cave and waste your life, if you live in anything resembling a society, not a s**thole. Hope that makes sense.
