dissociation

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced a condition called dissociation ? It can be very distressing and it starts very unexpectedly. Any input would be great !

  • I'm sorry I have never experienced that, I have only experienced it as part of a panic attack. But I know it's "a subconscious way of coping with and avoiding a traumatic situation or negative thoughts". Maybe it would be less distressing if you think of it as a way of your brain trying to protect you?
