2be1,

yes, i definitely think that mild dissociation at certain times can be a necessary and good thing. there are many times i've be thankful for checking...many, many, many times. it can be good as long as it doesn't interfere with normal fuctioning. when a person has the degree of dissociation that i have, it can be very rough on a different level...but mild can be great

just my opinion.
