...... it's been shown to me by the psychologist I'd been seeing, that I dissociate. (wouldn't see it for myself.... guess I was worried-- had to live up to my own expectations and so I tried to cover it up all the time).... anwyay.....

I now have a part time job and when I work(this one is about the least anxiety producing one I've ever had) I think maybe my anxiety causes me to dissociate.....

Here's what happened...... last week I passed a guy in the hall and he said "Hi Mandy"..... I was shocked, as I had NO idea who this man was and how he knew my name-- I managed to get out "Hello"...... but not his name--- I DON'T KNOW him....... I don't know how he knows me-- I was so embarassed.

So, I was wondering..... I've heard this happening when one has DID-- but can it just happen with dissociating? and what should I do...... I'm so scared, I'm sure I'll "run into" this guy again..... I'm confused and feeling ah- "dumb" and I don't like that feeling....

mandy ps- not that others that dissociate are "dumb"-- that's just me and how I feel when I should know something and I don't.
