purposely dissociating? that’s not possible as dissociation is a defense, unconscious defense….right?

Ahh, I really need some help figuring out how to get myself back on the ground when this happens to me. It’s rare, but when it does my head feels fuzzy, everything looks too bright/too dark, and I just feel numb and like I can’t connect with the moment. It’s so frustrating. Could I have your grounding tips please??

Hey,

Life through a lens can be new and blinking… I guess it would a new world for those suffering from myopia

Thanks
Kiran

I think I may be experiencing a bit of dissociation, but I’ve not been abused in anyway in my past. My mother was paralyzed when I was 4 and only have memories of her in a wheelchair. but this sudden feeling like I’m somehow disconnected from things happened in the turmoil of trying to discerne feelings for a girlfriend and our eventual separation because of this uncertainty. All of this doubt came over me and kept me up all night, and as I tried to discuss my hesitations with her, she became very emotional and I feel like I went into panic mode, where I was just stressing over hurting her and the possible end of the relationship. I began to have feelings like I am completely aware of my surroundings but its like I dont care, or that I dont have a full presence in the moment. I’ve not been sleeping for almost 2 months with out medication. I’ve been working with a counselor and psychiatrist, and only recently did this notion of dissociation come up. I’ve always been very happy go lucky, motivated, sociable, and now I feel reclusive and ‘intimidated’ by people who are going about life per normal. its even weird for me to be writing this, because I know how odd it sounds. ANY HELP???!!!

hello,

I’ve been purposfully using dissociation to help myself, to get distance on the emotion and control it. Well I was wondering if this is not known to be harmful because I often feel like parts of myself are not turned on or something, memories are blocked, capacities are blocked, and I sometimes look back on things that I have done not entirely recognising myself (it’s never awful , things like acting a bit funny or just feeling weird confusion, I do feel puzzled about them). I know that there could be many causes to this but I’m just curious if the dissociation that I’m doing is something that I shouldn’t be doing (I’m stopping for now). Could you send me thos grounding tips by the way?

Thanks for the article,
