Hello.

I am no doc but I lived with DID with many years before getting into therapy.
I think of dissociation as being a stress threat reaction which results in a person unconsciously removing himself/herself from the attached feelings and memories of the expereince.
As a result of this, dissociation is a scattering of time, expereinces, feelings, and memory and this affects all aspects of a persons life. Communicating what this is like can be very difficult because the dissociation itself makes putting the right words together hard.

sometimes it helps to write things down and keep this to give the doc.
take care now.
