I used to have dissociative episodes quite frequently as a result of post traumatic stress. When I received considerable treatment for my ptsd the episodes mostly stopped.

Over the past few months I’ve noticed it happening again. Getting worse. It started with small lapses. Nothing too out of the ordinary. But I started losing pretty decent chunks of time. Like feeling as though I’m walking through a dream and realizing that several hours have passed without recalling what happened. I think possibly a lot of social isolation is the cause.

I’m a little frightened of this happening when I go back to work in a week. I drive for my job and I if I dissociate while driving I may find myself 30 minutes or more beyond where I was supposed to be.

I also have been experiencing very strange dreams. Much stranger than usual and it seems as though I thrash around when I sleep because I wake up feeling sore and I have bruises from where I accidentally hit something while asleep.

I don’t know how worried I should be about this.
