The most important thing to do to keep yourself safe is to keep whatever 'tools' you use out of the house if poss. That is the only way I have ever managed to not SI when I dissociate. I am not saying that it is guaranteed (I am very resourceful when I dissociate I have discovered) but it does help a whole lot. Also if you are really strong in yourself that may be enough to get you through those times.
If you are able to identify the triggers before you dissociate you can either distract yourself and stop 'going' or place yourself in a safe environment first. If you have reached a point where you just 'go' without even realising it try to think back to the last thing you remember and from there try to work out the triggers and warning signals. The awareness of this helps to manage it better.

I hope that you are able to stay strong.
