Are you dissociating?

“Dissociation is a mental process where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity.”

Dissociating people vary widely in their symptoms and reasons. For some it is related to trauma while for others it can tie into mental illnesses which they may experience.

Some symptoms of dissociation include:

Finding yourself staring at one point while not thinking of anything

Feeling completely numb

Feeling suddenly dizzy, lightheaded or like you are floating

Feeling like you aren’t in your body or are watching from the outside

Feeling detached and far from other people, they may seem mechanical or unreal to you. This includes feeling like you aren’t part of the world around you

Feeling very startled when something or someone gets your attention, completely forgetting what you were thinking about (if anything)

Forgetting important information about yourself such as your age or where you live

Rocking back or forth (sometimes subconsciously)

Voices, sounds or writing seems far away and you have trouble understanding them

Feeling as though your body is foreign or doesn’t belong to you

Feeling as if you’ve had a flashback but you can’t remember anything about it

Becoming overly focussed on small/trivial objects and/or events

I wonder what it’s like to say “I’m okay” and really mean it.

Grief

There’s no escaping it, no running from it and you sure as hell can’t hide. It’s puffy eyes and excruciating pain. Not wanting to get out of bed. Living becomes a chore. Sick to your stomach, feeling faint & dizzy. Until it’s your front row of a funeral, you’ll never understand.
