Thank you for sharing. I've been recently diagnosed with dissociative disorder. It is very hard for me to look in the mirror myself. It's almost as if I'm not looking through my own eyes. When I do see clearly I can't believe how much older I am. Where did time go?

Even when my overall dissociative tendencies are decreased, I chronically have great difficulty seeing myself in the mirror.
This is chronic.
It's been brought to my attention again recently because I've had to pick out glasses. I could not see myself enough to do it, I had to rely on my DH and an optician in order to get the job done. I had to tell DH that I could not see myself in the mirror, which felt humiliating; yet, he was very understanding.
Have you heard of this?
Can you relate?
Thanks for reading.
