Confident
I've been thinking about dissociation a lot the last few days. With the help of some people in this site I've been able to determine when I dissociate and what it looks like for me (it looks a little different than what most of you experience, apparently).
I'm trying to make more sense of my experience I have a question for you all: when you feel dissociation coming, are you able to stave it off for a short while? I can feel mine coming and I can use huge amounts of energy to keep myself in the present for a short period of time. However, I think that using the energy causes the dissociation to be more intense when I finally give in. Does this sound familiar? Do you have a different version of putting it off? I know that recently some of you shared that you can't hold it off, so I'm wondering if I'm way off here and I need to explore this phenomena further.
