I don't know if books can help with this. A good therapist can, though. But they are hard to find.
It could totally be dissociation. No one here can tell you it's not. And like Luce said, the symptoms exist no matter what any particular state, county or country calls the sum total. I remember not long ago, during a therapy session, talking about one thing and crying but the crying didn't fit with what I was talking about--so I said to my therapist, "Why am I crying?" I don't remember what she said or we said after that, but I do know I can't read about this in a book or figure it out on my own. I hope you have someone in real life who can help you get connected to what the feelings are.
