Out of Nowhere

I was fine.
Nothing triggered it.
But all of the sudden I flew away.

i swy manda ((hug) ! -sacha

Do you know where you flew too? This might give a clue as to why you flew away.

Where you watching TV or listening to music when this happened? Any different smells in your home right now. Were you looking at anything in particular when you went away?

You will come back!! I've done this too. Sometimes our psyche just needs to check out for a bit and it goes on a little journey....

I'm sorry if this is uncomfortable for you. I hope you get back soon.

Hang in there!! We're here for you!!

I don't know where i went...
No... no different smells.
I don't remember if I was looking at anything in particular.
It's very very odd... right now... I am like... well... between... here AND not

I don't know what you mean by "fly away" can someone explain it to me?

I assume you mean dissociate? If so, I totally relate, I do it all the time. It's so ingrained in my life, I'm unaware a vast majority of the time. Check out the sticky's for grounding skills.

There there. Something can trigger even if you don't know what or why. i tend to think every memory has some sort of trigger no matter how tiny. It happens. i'm not always sure why i dissociate either but, like i said, i tend to think there's a reason...i just can't always recognize, grasp, or catch it.

i hope you're feeling better.

I hope you're ok or at least better now. We go away a lot and it doesn't feel good to not know who or where you are. Stay safe and try to comfort yourself. You deserve it.

yes that's what I meant.

How are you doing? i hope you can do self nurturing things and grounding things to help you through.

Try to learn what your triggers are. Look at the grounding techniques at the top of the PTSD forum. Know that this is/was a way of coping that you are now becoming aware of.
