I've come to believe that I'm very prone to dissociation...or is it detachment? Same? I can sit here and go duh....dazed....unresponsive for no reason. This happens all day long. Does this sound familiar?
Sometimes I do deteach on purpose just to put the mind in park.
I find it to be a state of mental relaxation by being detached from the stress of the world around me. I can't really focus on things. It's not like the minds wandering, it just goes blank. Sometimes it wanders to blank.
You think that I'm watching t.v.? Think again! T.v. Is just a convenient excuse to stare at something and not look stupid like an empty wall. Can I call it lost in thought? Sometimes I guess it starts out that way, then I melt.
I've been told that I day dreamed too much when I was younger, but there wasn't too much dreaming going on in my mind.
It is annoying at times though when I'm like trying to do something hard, then I start dazing out so I try grounding while I'm doing what I'm doing...like operating an electric saw with my fingers at the blade....very dangerous at times. Sometimes the voices in my head gets really loud as I lose concentration.
Or even after a crisis moment, gone.
Sometimes mid conversation or midsentence I'd phase out causing the other person to snap fingers and laugh at me.
This sounds quite the extreme I think. What do you think?
