Dissociation in class

martaweirdo September 12th, 2016

Sometimes it happens to me (usually it lasts for some minutes) to forget that I'm in class between people, I don't feel like I'm there

then I remember everything and I get so anxious... it's like there's a barrier between me and reality

i'm afraid that people will notice...

Same here! It's time that I saw someone else on 7cups with dissociation, wow, finally! I just try and keep myself focused on whatever is in front of me and grab something like a pencil to remind myself that I'm alive.

@martaweirdo Have you had any past trauma in your life, as sometimes this is a symptom of PTSD? Do you wake up sometimes in strange places- this coud be a symptom of double personalities. I guess the best answer is to see your doctor about this.

@martaweirdo Wow that sounds really really awful! Do you see a therapist/school counselor? I wonder if you could do something like knit or doodle or some breathing or muscle relaxation techniques that would help you stay there? :( :(

@martaweirdo

Thank you for sharing your story with us martaweirdo :P I'm just curious- when you find yourself forgetting you are around other people, are you very focused on the lesson, or possibly daydreaming during that time? or is it completely something else?
