Dissociation

[rhar]

I have not also been diagnosed with a dissociation disorder. I experience my dissociation generally when I am getting anxious, though not always. I begin to feel detached, almost as if I'm watching myself on television. I don't feel real, my body doesn't feel real, my environment doesn't feel real. My body feels numb, and I sometimes pinch myself to see if it is. I feel oddly calm, but in an emotionless cold way that's almost more frightening than the anxiety.

I get it exactly like this too. I have learnt to say to myself it's harmless and won't hurt me. And it will begin to fade
