I have a family member with Dissociative Personality Disorder. She has lapses in memory where she pretty much just had an autopilot personality that kept her alive for a while. She tends to disconnect her mind from her body, forgets to eat or drink water or do human shit.

Sometimes I can tell she’s just not there at all. Mind gone elsewhere. It’s generally brought on by trauma.

People throw it around a lot nowadays but it’s not some cute affectation. It’s fucked up.
