Sorry...I've never personally experienced dissociation but saw my husband experience it, and it definitely seems tough to deal with.



Totally counts as mindfulness LOL. You're focusing on an object and giving it 100% of your attention

Haha yeah that’s what I thought there’s nothing like a bit of wall staring to sort out an existential crisis.

It can be very enlightening, lol.

Ah right, I suppose that’s good that he wasn’t intending to cause trouble even though some shit went down. And yeah I dissociate a lot. It’s weird because sometimes I quite like it, its very odd. Hope the close goes alright, he sounds like a right dick from what you’ve said before about him.

He is. You don't even know the half of it. He abuses women, makes autistic kids cry, and is an annoying, drunk fuck.

He sounds wonderful 🙄

Well, I called it. Shit most definitely hit the fan at work. And surprisingly, no one is fired. Go figure.

Dissociating is weird...like I can be completely overwhelmed, then my brain will go numb and I won't feel a thing.

Thats the point. It's the brains way of trying to protect you from harm.

Every night like clockwork, always after midnight, my neighbor starts playing insanely loud music. This has only been going on for a few days so I have no idea what that's all about.

Is it at least good music?

Yep, it is insn't it. I burnt myself with boiling water when I was last in hospital and had a quite severe wound, but was in no pain at all. I mean, I nearly needed a skin graft but not a thing. And don't get me started about a psych ward having boiling water for beverages

Yeah, but too loud for this time of night. Makes me want to write snarky passive aggressive notes and post them in the lounge area. lol

That's scary...but at least you didn't feel it so that's a good thing.

It's alright I just wasn't well at all

That’s scary, I’m glad you didn’t need a skin graft though. It’s really weird because my body constantly feels numb now after years of dissociating. It’s really hard to explain, it’s like I feel like I’ve permanently lost sensitivity in my skin.

Does it ever happen to you when you feel ok? It will just happen to me when I’m feeling fine and it’s just so weird because it’s meant to be a protection against stress. The mind is so strange 😂

Not too often, but sometimes I feel like reality isn't really real. If that makes any sense.

LOL, I have psychosis too. So I can definitely relate to that

Definitely, I sometimes get periods of feeling like I’m dreaming or I’m in sort some of simulation.

I had some psychotic episodes when I was in my teens. I think I may have been in the prodromal phase because I didn’t have hallucinations but they were still horrible.

Sorry you went through that. It is pure hell sometimes. I regard my BPD as a secondary problem now, to be honest.
