Hi hon, it happens to me all the time. I can be sitting in the middle of my room on my bed and then everything changes to what I like to say is another dimension.

I do reality testing and can tell the stuff is real, but I can't feel that it is or even own it. Even looking at my hand seems unreal, like it'll go numb and not seem to be mine.

My biggest trigger would be sensory overload, that's when the senses are overwhelmed with stimuli...like in a crowded store, parking lot, enviroment,... Especially at Christmas!

Grocery and shopping stores are the worse, what with all the colors, sights, sounds, moving people and objects, the noise, ....I'll dissociate to desensitize to better able handle the enviroment. I try not absorbing or taking in the scene all at once.

Have you learned any grounding techniques? At times like these, I'll start taking slow deep breathes, listening to my lungs as ther draw up air.

If I'm out shopping, I'll pick up a store product and read the label, describe the object in hand, it's color, size, weight, noticing any special features associated to it, trying to bring my scope of focus back to a point.

Sometimes when it happens, I just have to go along for the ride till it naturally fades away.

Other than grounding methods, a pdoc can prescribe anxiety meds to help calm the nerves, but that's about it for drugs to help this condition.

If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me.
