what I can say is here in america dissociation is an automatic reaction to a trigger. its not something someone does on purpose.

here in america we have two words that often get confused as the same word....

dissociation... automatic response to a trigger, this word has no letter A in between 2 letter s's.

and

disassociation (pronounced dis association) is to purposely stop doing something. this word has a letter A that sits between 2 letter S's

here in america we also have a mental disorder that means a person is purposely causing their self to have a medical or mental health problem. that mental disorder is called ...factitious disorder imposed on self.

you have your location set as canada. canada may do things differently than America does.

my suggestion is if this continues to bother you, to contact a doctor in your own location, they will be able to tell you if this is dissociation, dis association or other mental \physical health problems.
It was more like I knew this was going to happen and I did nothing to stop it because I felt emotionally exhausted and needed to forget reality for a bit. I would just lay down and I would let that "nothing" feeling wash over me. It's sort of in between doing it on purpose and not doing it on purpose if that makes sense. That is true, but I was hoping by putting this on here that I would find someone who may have had similar experiences to comment on mine and see if it is even related to dissociation. I don't have factitious disorder, I wasn't saying that I had dissociation disorder, but was hoping to find out if I did.
