Not sure what's up with this, but since the SO left for his mom's house, I haven't switched out or lost time or detached/checked out or anything. I've had some emotions come from inside (and a lot from me as well), but it's been me here the whole time, I think. I mean, I could be losing bits and pieces here and there, but if I am it's nothing big and I'm not aware of it. That's not the norm for me. Normally I flip flop rotate out throughout the day even if things are calm. I don't mind it, but it's just weird. I'm not sure what's up with that. I figured with the stress and change and all that's going on, I would be more switchy/checked out. Stress tends to set me off something fierce. But I'm here and I've been here and present and dealing with the emotions as they come. Oddly enough with all this heartbreak and brutality, I feel more functional than I have in ages.

So I was wondering if anyone here has had this kind of thing happen, something really stressful goes down and you remain present when the norm is to detach and/or switch.
