> Isn't it amazing how you can dissociate that you dissociate? Never heard the word and did not know I was doing it until therapy. Needed someone else noticing and asking the right kind of questions to realize it, otherwise you keep forgetting that you forget.**LOL! Now THATS confusing. Nuts isn't it?
> I kind it HUGELY upsetting to have it brought to my attention. Sometimes I get so distressed that I forget that I'd been reminded that I forgot so it's a double or triple forgetting, which is very convoluted and confusing.

**That sounds very hard :(
I dunno if I double dissociate or just single. I am not terribly distressed by my dissociating, it just makes things so hard is all.

> I don't have any. Sorry. But if it helps at all, please know I'm similarly frustrated and troubled so you're not alone**Thanks so much for your reply. mebbe there will be helpful stuff posted for you too.
It DOES help to know i not alone, though I sorry that you have to struggle too.

Take care,
