    Tips for catching your emotions?

    Basically, I have been having this problem where my emotions go by in in my head at the speed of light and it makes it very hard to do any kind of therapy if you can't tell your T how you're feeling. I've been attempting mindfulness for over a year now but i don't think it's working very well so...

    What does it feel like to not dissociate?

    I can barely remember what it was like; was wondering what it felt like for others to maybe jog my memory...and perhaps validate that I did infact stop.

    On the tip of your tongue sensation

    Is it possible to be so detached from yourself that you can't make out your own thoughts? Like say you're in an argument, and you can't make out what you want to say and you've got the on-the-tip-of-your-tongue kind of sensation, but you are thinking to yourself "why can't I make out what I want...

    How do you prove you can't work?

    I am very confused at this situation...Recently my grandmother has been trying to apply me for disability (I have severe anxiety and can't make appointments, order food, etc over the phone) and the attorney said that I have to go through vocational therapy before I can apply because I've never...

    Is dissociation involuntary or voluntary?

    I ask because it's honestly so hard to even identify when it's happening, and if I do identify it I almost immediately forget I did and I cannot figure out how to fight it and I'll be stuck like that for a long time. Infact, today was the first time in I think a year I wasn't dissociating 24/7...

    Whole family sharing the same therapist

    So my mother recently took my two sister to see my therapist, and it infuriates me to no end. I don't know why, it's not jealousy. I get jealous of his other clients and it is not the same feeling I get in regards to this. To me this seems like a bad idea and I'm not sure why. When she texted me...

    Can A Memory Be Too Terrifying?

    I always feel like I'm running away from something in my brain, and today a few minutes ago I think I had my first flashback ever and now I know why I was running from it. That was awful. I am now eating a mug brownie to make myself feel better. I can NOT go back to that EVER again.

    What Do You Call This?

    I have no idea what this is and can't seem to find anyone with anything similar. I want to say disassociation but I'm not sure. What do you call not being able to hear your own thoughts and feelings and opinions clearly or at all, almost kind of like ignoring them but not being able to stop...

    Overlapping Thoughts

    Does anyone have this? Where you have your brains initial reaction to things like opinion or emotion but you immediately think over it with something else and then think over that? Can someone tell me if this has an official term or how to help fix this issue? It literally feels like my...

    Feeling And Identifying Emotion

    So it's really stressing me out that I'm even writing about this and I don't know why. It seems feeling emotion (and admitting I have one or even admitting that I don't) gives me a lot of anxiety and when one starts to come up I immediately push it away and forget about it instantly, and I'm not...

    Always Different

    Has anyone over their past years ever thought that something about you was different than everyone else around you? Like, you understand everyone has different personalities and perceptions and what not, but you always had this vague gut feeling that that's not quite what it is? Kind of like...
