> It's complicated to explain because it can be so different for different people. Have you ever spaced out while driving and missed your turnoff or arrived home and not remembered driving the last few miles? That's a very common form of dissociation. Imagine doing that all the time, every day, not only while driving and you can get a feel for how difficult it can be to manage your life.
***** I never thought about it that way, but that's a good way to describe it for me. I kind of tend to space out and it just feels like I'm kind of removed from the world. I definitely don't have DID - I wouldn't fit those criteria hardly at all. Dissociation is a continuum, so different people experience it differently.sunnydays
