Do you feel pain? Im just curious. As i cant see someone never coming out if dissociation. If you can feel pain if you were hurt, then you arent 100% always completely dissociated...or lets say you were, god forbid, im a bad car accident or in a stalled car on train track; would you be in the reality of the moment and be able to save yourself or know you were hurt if you were?

There are varying degrees of it. Ive only lost memory twice; not knowing how i got from point A, where i last remember being to point B, where i "woke up". Most of my dissociations are more of going away in my head.

Numbing myself in the day time to be able to work is a type of dissociation and thats 9 hrs a day. So i can sorta see that, but the min I walk out of the doors at work, im back to feeling again and back to that "terrified child" and its automatic.

So i dont know, ive never seen or heard of anyone living 24/7 in dissociation that wasnt hospitalized. The sort of "old way" of view a psych ward with the (for lack of a better word) "crazy people" stuck in their minds. But those folks cant function and dont know where they are. To type this you cant be stuck in your mind 100%. Is it possible that you just sorta go away to a made up world and feel like you are there 100% of the time but really arent?

Im not judging not am i a Dr, im just wondering and maybe an alternate perspective will help?
