Hey WC, just curious... What happens to you when you dissociate? Where do you go? Do you have an alter personality? Do you ever recover memories of what you were doing while you were dissociated?

I experienced what I think was dissociation during my psychotic episode. I blacked out for a lot of it, but there were times when I felt like I was outside of myself watching myself. It reminded me of dreaming. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I'm still trying to understand it.

ETA, please don't answer me if it makes you uncomfortable at all. I'm just trying to better understand how dissociation works and you're one of the few people I know who has experienced it.
