Do You Go To A Certain Place When Dissociating?

[stuff]

I get really cross at the confusion and holes in my time lines

So much. It makes me so angry that I get lost and that I miss out on real social interaction sometimes. It frightens me, and makes me feel like a complete outsider to the real world when it happens.

I was in my therapy session yesterday and my T was trying to explain something to me. I 'went somewhere' and didn't notice until my T brought me back. I was probably gone for less than a minute but I remember nothing. I couldn't hear or see anything, there was no day dreaming, no darkness or light, no smells - nothing.

This is the first time I have been aware of doing this so frequently but it didn't bother me, I felt quite safe. I'm sure it happens a lot but I just haven't been aware of it until now.

I think I have experienced most of them, but I clearly remember experiencing depersonalization and derealisation only once each. ..

Is it possible that certain medications can make you depersonalise? I took Geodon (atypical antipsychotic) and I remember walking down the street feeling like I was not human...

I can "turn on" dissociation ie I decide not to take part in what is going on around me / listen to what they are saying. Then I am in what I call the twilight sone, but I need a stressor to "come back". Hard to explane this.. But I do get some awkward looks when I "come back".. Absolutly no medication need for me, just a sence of "not belonging".

My T told has my that I have done that two times during the sessions and I don't remember it either. The first time I was gone for about 3 minutes and the second time closer to 5. I don't know if I felt safe but I was calm and relaxed though.
