reason I asked is because I remember a while ago you talking about this same thing happening where you feel small and stare and not respond. and if I am remembering right before you said it was like being in a daze or mini dazes. Transient Stupor is one of the OSDD mental disorders. so when I saw you have OSDD listed in your signature your post made sense to me in this regard.
the good news is if you have OSDD the problems associated with it goes away after a few days to a month. in the line of dissociative disorders OSDD is the one that is least severe and easiest to manage because the problems go away usually on their own or with medication with in a month max.
my suggestion is contact yours or a treatment provider. they will be able to tell you whether this is part of your OSDD or if you need your diagnosis upgraded to DID or if medication will help you.

Oh, I’m very DID- but not on paper, so as to not offend anyone (silly me)... I just lumped a group of letters together to not be declaring something- I let you all be the judge...I’m just here to relate, vent, and gain insight through the experiences of others like myself.
If I was OSDD (I’d rather be)...I would have a greater sense of self over this sense of no control, missing memories, time jumps, alters taking over ruining my version of life.
I have all kinds of Dissociative events...I’m so prone to dissociation....mini dissociation might be a wrong way to describe it...more like dissociative events that I catch myself entering and to try snapping (grounding) out of- mini being a time limit, before I get lost in the daze and hurt myself. Keep in mind...a lot of it is tied in to constant non-stop flashbacks, sometimes one right after another, which distracts me outwardly like reliving the thought, everytime a part steps forward to say something (like all the time), everything is a trigger....it is a constant moment to moment battle to stay focused and present with this mental barrage of triggered Dissociative events. It’s a wonder that I can function- good enough to hold a job is about all that matters.
This has been a lifelong ordeal...and I wish it would just go away. :/
