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

[HypnoticallyChaotic]

I've done similar things, lol.

 

[ladee]

I can relate to almost all of the things listed.... I wonder if some of us have bumped into each other out in the world, and just had no clue it was one of US !!!!

 

[HypnoticallyChaotic]

Lol, that would be weird. But for some of us, its possible.

When finding your keys is a constant battle. Directions and getting places are a battle because you dissociate and miss turns or exits.

 

[Nighthawk]

When the last thing you remeber is holding your phone charger. Now you have no bloody clue where it is and its at least 18 hours later.

86 item list of what's bothering you.

"What's bothering you?"

& the stillness takes over. Smile. "Nothing."

Because nothing is.

Or the ever so slightly more honest answer.

"Prolly lots of stuff. Sorry. Can't think right now." >.<

When you are pretty sure you must've teleported to each place you go..

When you laugh out of sheer confusion, exhaustion, and fear for no reason and people think you are hallucinating when in all actuality you just dont know how to express what youre feeling..

When you tell the nurse at the psych ward that she is spectacularly gorgeous and all the reasons she should believe in herself then while you walk away you hear " what was that about?"..

When you dont realize it is 3:40 am and you are stuck at midnight. .

When you find yourself laying on the porch in a rainstorm with cigarette butts all around you and you "wake up"..

All have happened within the past two weeks. Hmmph

When you are suddenly staring at your front door and think "did I or did I not just go to therapy?" :facepalm:

Great thread, reading and sharing is such a relief. Funny in places, and tear jerkingly familiar too. It's very frustrating symptom.

When you can't find your keys, phone, wallet, checkbook, mug of coffee, paperwork... pretty much everything you use all the time, but you can immediately put your hand on anything from months or years ago.

When you're driving down the road and think, "Did I just..." lock the door, turn off the gas, leave PC on, put the cat out... and you have to drive back to check.

When you have traveled for work and arrived at the destination thinking, "Where am I?" and and once that's pinned down, "What am I here for?"

When you step out of a stressful meeting and have no memory of the meeting and desperately chase down a copy of the meeting minutes.

When 'just one minute more' on the Internet at becomes 4 hours later.

Everyday at anytime of the day

You get informed you're injured but you really didn't know

There was amazing sunlight & a sense of peace to be watched and with :D (Goddamn love sunlight. Good to live for, & good to die with. Just need to keep remembering when I'm doing which. :roflmao:)
