S'good to know that it happens to other folks, too. I haven't got diagnosis-in-hand; my T generally mutters something about the DSM-IV being pathologizing and some such thing. What he has said is that I have "trauma issues," and I'm trying to figure out all the reasonable things that might be connected to that.

I was wondering if it was like dissociation...

Big thanks to you mick, gimmeice, and phoenix for letting me know that it happens to you, too.
