Hi asylumgardens. Your analogy is great. Everyone dissociates to a degree and the dissociation scale is like a line with a million little dots on it. Someone can be any where on that line. When it starts to interfere with your daily living, it's a good idea to talk to someone who can help.

Please continue to post here and get support as you can. There are many here that can relate to what you are saying. It's completely understandable to be concerned about it, especially if it's happening at times that can cause you to be unsafe. Do you have a T that you can discuss this with as well?

Wishing you the best as you work through things.
