I was wondering if you all might share what dissociating is like for you.

When I think of dissociating I've always thought about childhood trauma and just getting this out of body experience to get away from the reality of it. I've seen in some readings where they say, "Have you ever driven home and not realized how you got there?" I mean I'm pretty sure EVERYONE has done that at some point or another. That hardly seems like something you could call a symptom of a mental disorder in that instance..

I definitely do the driving thing. I'm trying to think of other possible instances. But I figured if you all gave me some descriptions it might click. I'm listening to the "Walking On Eggshells..." book and they give all sorts of descriptions of BPD symptoms in ways that I wouldn't have myself considered them symptomatic, you know?

Thanks.
