I am honestly unsure if I have experienced dissociation. My pdoc was asking me questions to screen me for this and derealization I think at my last appointment. I think he expected me to say yes to some of the answers, but I just told him things seemed weird, but that I always knew who I was and where I was. I can be very spacey, and daydream in my head a lot or overthink things, so I can drive and be paying attention on some level to the driving while in my head and not realize I took an exit for example. Not sure when it becomes dissociation, because I know I am day dreaming, it's more like I am distracted. I forget things happened or that I met people sometimes, but that seems more like a memory/concentration thing. More like I need to work on being present and mindful and not live in my head so much.
