My therapist says I dissociate sometimes, and I didn't know what it was until I asked, but now I realize that I do. But it's hard to pinpoint sometimes what is and what isn't a dissociation. Sometimes I feel far away and I feel like there's pressure all around me, especially inside my head, and I can't focus on what anyone is saying to me. Sometimes when I'm like that I get really clumsy, almost light-headed. Is that a form of dissociation?

Other times I space out entirely and don't hear anything going on around me. I'll feel like I have no control over my words, and if I'm talking it will sound to me like I'm listening to someone else.
