Hi there everybody i am currently trying to understand my most recent block of absent time. Yesterday afternoon around 2pm i began to get things ready to sell in town. The last thing i remember was packing up my glass work and making myself some chicken nuggets..... the next thing i know i am in my car its 1.30 am and somebody just opened my door. i panicked got out and began to chase this young man chris in a fighting stance... he was trying to check up on me. So this begs the question to me what the f*ck did i do that made him feel the need to come and open my door at 1.30 in the morning never met this man in my life? my odometer says i covered 100 plus miles today the plan was not even close to half that. i am missing 38.25 and all i had to show for it in the car was 2 sandwich rappers and a drink from mcdonalds what did i spend my money on? so many questions that ill probably never be able to answer but this i do know i hate missing chunks of time i feel crazy and i feel un safe. its rather hard to pull myself out of something like this i dont know its happening it obviously takes a pretty jarring event for me to come too.... Am i always going to be missing my time and mind when im older? idk but share some of your odd dissociation stories here maybe it will make you feel better about that huge hole glaring at you and spitting questions you can never answer out.
 
I've committed crimes unfortunately. once somebody had to get X-ray'd, coz apparently i hid a metal object in their body. didnt get charged, thankfully.
 
I've missed chunks of time like this before. It's terrifying. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with it. I don't have any good stories to show from it though. Just know you're not alone. Are you seeing a trauma therapist experienced with dissociation that can help you work through this?
 
I've lost days to dissociation. Lots of hours, too. It's less intense now than it was 5 years ago, but I still feel like it happens WAY too much. I hate that I drive when I'm like that, because I don't know if I'm driving safely. I also hate that I interact with people, as I don't remember what I felt or said, or what they said or did. I recently went to another city, taught a martial arts class, went to the ER for stomach pain, and came home. All of that, gone. Don't remember any of it. Only know about it from what other people have said. It's really scary.
