Can They Have Any Specific Meaning?

Me Myself and I

I dissociate a lot while having my attacks, and one thing I never do is drawing. I never drew before, and was never into it, but in one of my past attacks I realized I would draw about 20 pages, all full of people from the back or with no facial expressions.

I was wondering if it was something more probably to occur, if they have any meaning at all, is it just some other PTSD "related thing", or it can be nothing at all!

Thanks a lot.

Those drawings speak to me about how detached we are from emotion during dissociation, that we and others are like blank slates, not quite human, due to that PTSD symptom whereby we feel separate from ourselves and others.
