I dissociate when I'm overwhelmed.

I lose my words. I zone out. I have trouble speaking. I feel like I'm sitting behind a pane of glass. It's disconcerting but sometimes it also feels really nice - like I'm safe in this locked down headspace.

I felt this way all day and it made my therapy session rather difficult. I wanted to say more but it just felt so difficult. Like pulling my words out of a brain made of toffee.

I'm moving soon and mentally I'm in a weird in between place. I'm feeling overwhelmed. Sad. Lost. Don't want to leave my home, town, friends, or beloved therapist. Tired of people telling me to look on the bright side, everything is going to be great! That's hopefully true, but... Right now I'm overwhelmed.

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. I hope it helps a little to know I know exactly how you feel...had to move last summer myself and it was such a scary, stressful experience. I was glad when it was over......course, just made room for the next scary, stressful experience!! lol

It'll be okay, I promise. It wasn't the first time I moved so you'd think I would be used to it but it was just as horrid as every other time, and the relief when it was done was tremendous so I know you'll feel that too.

And I must say, what you said about losing words hit home with me. When I'm stressed I can't focus, can't think...words totally elude me, but it's like I'm on a tightrope and I'm losing my balance while I'm searching for the simplest words to explain something, or converse period. Very frustrating!!!

Thank you for your post.....and remember we're here if you get totally stressed out.....really, darlin....it'll be ok. You'll see. I don't promise anything lightly...but this I have experience with ...
