Yeah, my dissociation, for the most part is pretty mild. I've only had a couple, last year, while my daughter was hospitalized the 2nd time and a few weeks after she was released where I had a hard time breaking out of it (they were long ones for me too, several hours), and those times, I went straight back into building anxiety. Now (and prior to those incidents) I can break out of them and understand what's going on around me, but I do tend to get depressed afterwards too. Listening to the meditation music has helped me a lot too. It relaxes me and also keeps me connected at the same time.
