Oooh yea, online is definitely easier than in real life. I even talk to people in my 3D life through chats and email. Like KD, I like having the words to refer to, especially when I think I've lost my brain somewhere.
T always says there are reasons for what goes on for us and while we might not always know why, they are there.
I never remember walking into a building. I'm outside and the next thing I know, I'm somewhere in the building. I don't have a clue why that happens, but it does. Also for me, I think the higher my anxiety is, the easier it is for me to be triggered and to dissociate.
There is a reason for it. I think it will be shown when the time is right.
Best of luck as you figure things out.
