What is your description of dealing with gaslighting with dissociation involved?
Have you had to deal with it?
These are the words that are mine.
Disturbing
Vulneralbe
Victimized
Abandoned
Shifting ground
Alone
I don't know if anyone else has had to deal with this, but it is very disturbing.
I'm so tired of looking for truth and absolutes to give me peace and resolution of what I'm looking for healing from.
Without an ending to my fragments and someone telling me, "It wasn't that bad."
I don't know where to go with it. I just know the words that I I feel.
Does anyone else relate?

I have never had anyone tell me things like .... thats not so bad, in regards to my dissociation problems. for me it was all normal so yea even if they had said it I would have agreed with them. but I did have a problem with people saying the opposite. people would point out to me..... um that not normal is it if they happened to discover I had a dissociation problem. I would look at them and say um no its just how I am, I just happen to have a bad memory or something. I was the one that had to explain to them after being diagnosed that they were right it was abnormal. and I was the one thinking everythings fine everything is normal everything is not so bad. it really shocked a few who I went to and said guess what you were right lol
on the other hand I have had medical doctors , nurses saying that to me for things like getting shots, taking meds and all the tests that needed to be done to diagnose my MS. I would come out from under the machine and hear someone say... that wasnt so bad.. and I would quip right back at then
