> i can't tell him about this... seriously. i am amazed that you can and do. It's very brave. i am not that brave. i don't know if that is dissociating... i don't think so somehow. i don't know.. either way, that is not going to be something he will ever hear. Nope.*I didn't know what it was at first. then babble helped me.
Seriously, it IS a normal thing.
Do you daydeam?
Do you get so involved in a movie that you don't notice the kettles been boiling for 10 mins! Do you ever get so involved in a book that you lose track of time? These are all examples of dissociating. Everybody does it to some extent. ITS NOT WEIRD! Its not indicative of anything horrible. Its just a clever way the mind has of protecting itself when it feels threatened, and I'm SURE you T knows about it. Its a broad thing this dissociation. Diff people experience it diff ways.It can be simple as daydreams, or as complicated as DID, and everything in between! I used to do alot. Now I don't, even when I wished I could!
So I not so sure why you don't want to tell your T, cuz it would be useful for him to know, or you end up wasting alot of therapy time...and money, ugh. I sure did.> baglady would be my worst fear... remember all the medical issues i have... i'm already so alone in the world.. don't want to end up even more alone with no family or friends. i have always wanted to make something of myself.. don't want to fail but i can't seem to make it. i am disappointing myself and so many others.
*Ya, being sick on the street is no fun. people make do i guess, and yes, some die.
But I wouldn't worry bout it right now, just focus on the task at hand. Looking ahead can be scarey, I try not to.
One day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time. Whatever it takes.
You got spunk Dory.
Hang in there.
