Catching yourself before you space out or dissociate is the hardest part of the process for me. I know some of my triggers but often I am unable to keep from dissociating. I only know I've done it when I realize I have lost time. Often I don't know who was in control but experience tells me it is one particual alter.

If you have questions about alters and loosing time you may want to talk to a therapist that works with dissociation. They can help you figure out whose in control when you loose time.

Good luck and keep posting.
