Thank you each for your replies. It sounds like what I'm referring to as "dissociation" is at least somewhat different than the explanations I'm reading on this thread. But then, I don't have alters in the sense that I have divided ego states with their own identities. My dissociation (which I would specifically term "derealisation") does not cause me to lose awareness of my body...it feels like my mind is sort-of locked safely away from perceived danger. It is, however, a reaction to anxiety.
