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

When you’re covered in bruises and have no idea how they all got there…but looks like it should have hurt.

when you realise you said the same thing to the same person three times in a row, in the same way. and they stare at you.

When you weedwhack the tulips instead of the weeds next to it

Sad. But relatable. Ugh.

Oh wow I love this. When you have to ask your spouse "how much time has gone by since -----" and usually it's a mind-blowing different amount than you expected to hear, either less or more.

When someone gets weird at you because they've called your name and you didn't answer but still are looking at the birds with your coffee pot in hand

@ruborcoraxxx yes! My daughter asked why sometimes it takes me so long to respond to her. I said I get distracted. It will feel like I’m emerging from a mist. I heard her question (or heard her talk) but I’m not there. It takes me a bit to return. Sometimes I try to answer as best I can and I’m way off the mark.

Oh yeah this has a way to weight on people's nerves lol. And it's especially puzzling since in other moments you're just very much there.

And yeah in conversations I would repeat the last words without understanding shit and people get irritated at me. That just happens with a certain degree of comfort though otherwise I'd be super amped.

When you realize you only have one shoe on and have to search for the other one because you don’t remember taking it off.
