I'm confused as to whether I get physical symptoms when I dissociate.
I know that I dissociate my body away a lot.
And I think that when I do that, maybe I stop breathing/ breathe very shallowly which makes me feel faint and dizzy and I think I clench my stomach really tight which makes me nauseous.
I think those physical symptoms also make me feel panicky, which makes me dissociate even more.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I'm confused as to what role my body plays during dissociation and whether I react automatically in certain ways that create these strong physical symptoms in addition to the emotional/ psychological stuff.
