You Know You've Been Dissociating/being Absent Minded When...

When you take a cup of coffee to the lady you take care of and she looks very confused....because you took her one five minutes ago.

When you do not taste food.

Putting the pantry food items jn the fridge and vice versa
Forget simple directions in your own neighborhood
Hear what people say but can't focus enough to listen
Blacked out while driving

When there's an anniversary coming so you arrange a session with your T cause you know that will throw you out of balance. Then you spend the session talking about your sister cause all that happening that day happened to other person anyways so who cares?

The folks who normally come to see you every other week on Sundays show up at your door and you were expecting them NEXT WEEK! Wake-up call....

When...

No, don't remember that year nor where I was.
Oh. Right. You sent me a melody. Right. It was /that/ shit year. Thank, darling. I'm all Alice of Resident Evil & Remem it all. Dangit melodies.

When you go into work and ...

It's 5:00 p.m. and you're still sitting in your chair with your coat on.

Way to get shit done, Lola! Haha, they just paid me for 8 hours of sitting in my office staring at the wall ...

I do almost all of these, but don't actually dissociate. I'm just really absent minded.

When I fold and put away a blanket and do not remember doing so. I have foggy brain today, I do not want to do this.

When you go shopping, set your purse down & walk off the realize purse is gone & can't remember where you left it. Get purse back after some decent citizen turns it in to the cashier, only to walk off with someone else's buggy/stuff (Whose pink shirt is this?!)?! Then proceed to walk all over the store looking for MY buggy not having any idea where I could have left it! Pay for items then decide it's not a good day to go into the public unsupervised. :banghead:

When you sit down but you don't have the feeling that there's a chairback behind you.

 

[Ronin]

When the only things that make you care for current surroundings are reminders of your past, even if it's all loss & pain.

& When the memory of what a team mate said about sun being on your side, thus a day's fight won, guaranteed, is the only thing grabbing you from severe dissociation. Ha. Now the sun is also associating, not just dissociating. Changes.
