Disconnection With Life

[Snowflake]

In what ways do you disconnect with life or with others and how or what do you do to reconnect?

Sometimes it gets a little too much, the memories,the flashbacks. What I do is just leave and go wash my face with cold water. It feels like I'm starting afresh and it does tend to help.

I isolate. Get some noiseless space for a few days. Just do what I want to do, then push thru and see if I can handle people, noise, all that stuff, if not, rinse and repeat !!

That's the real question, isn't it?

I have been disconnected to real life for years now, I tend to isolate myself from majority of people, events, everything.
I don't know, I guess we have to have enormously strong will to be able to deliberately put ourselves into social situations which we would rather avoid.
In my case even the strong feeling of guilt isn't helpful.
Or we really have to feel yearning for interactions, as far as I am concerned I am still feeling fear mostly.
If I found some solution I would let you know.
