eli5 what is disassociating? Tried looking online but I don’t understand.
In: 3094
It’s different for everyone but as someone who really struggles with involuntary disassociating for me it feels like a computer going to sleep. My eyes are open but it’s a blank 1000yrd stare with pretty much no conscious thought. It’s almost like a time machine, I zone out and then next thing I know X amount of time has passed. When I was younger I thought I was just really good at meditating (lol) but therapy has helped me understand it much better. I have much less control over it when I’m stressed or overwhelmed but therapy has been a big help. We taught my partner how to recognize it so he also snaps me out of it when he notices. It’s a tricky concept to nail down.
