Dissociation is something I find very interesting because I feel like I dont experience it much at al, at least not as a coping mechanism. Closest thing I experience is occasionally zoning out or hyperfixating on something. Most of the time I feel unbearably present when I’m very upset or stressed

Homeless Friend posted:40 times? i've been listening to the nier ost for 15 years when i was getting really into synths early last year, to self-teach how to play keyboard I pretty much exclusively practiced melodies from the replicant and automata osts the first couple months I was learning. first song I was able to competently play (albeit with one hand and only partial chords) was song of the ancients and i remember feeling so excited when I was finally able to get through it without tripping up  naturally it was the only thing I'd play for hours a day that entire next week, since I was having too much fun going through it again and again. then i'd choose a new song I wanted to do and would repeat that one on loop for days on end, then do it all over again

Closest thing I experience is occasionally zoning out or hyperfixating on something. I'm pretty sure I have ASD - spoke with my therapist about it and she seems to agree (she mentioned it to me a couple months ago but I'm obstinate). My brother pretty much needs a caregiver to function (def autistic). I think one of my sisters is autistic, but I'm being kind of guarded about this whole thing. I used to disassociate a LOT, normally it would happen when an adult would give me a Talk. For me it would be like the world turned into a cartoon - everything in the background flat and static, with the person talking to me moving above the background like an animation cell. Anyway that's my ted talk. ProfessorBooty has issued a correction as of 00:47 on Jan 20, 2024 |

I do not know how to translate these words into a subjective experience. I suspect that you don’t mean the world literally appears two dimensional. You probably also aren’t just describing being focused on the person talking to you during a conversation

What happens with dissociation is that brain processes stop cohering correctly, as there is a stimulus or process going on that is ungrounding one from a more integrated experience of consciousness in some way. Some processes freeze up, some things become hypersensitive, etc. Have you ever watched a long movie in a theater and you need to sort of get your bearings afterwards? Or been told some bad news and you just feel numb in the moment but process it later? That's mild dissociation. So like soldiers may describe becoming like a pair of eyeballs, and can fail to understand things that don't have the quality of an order or a survival task. Their brain has adapted to surviving in combat conditions that way, because there is a lot of noise and they are focused on visual threats, and their stress hormones are cutting off sensation to the body. Someone who has faced persistent unavoidable distress with no solution or task involved may instead tend to disintegrate and things feel unreal. On the shallow end of the pool it's like being kind of numb after working in an office all day and needing to get some stimulation. Then there's stuff associated with transient anxiety. Then you have dissociative disorder territory, like simple PTSD, then depersonalization/derealization/complex trauma, and on the extreme end something like dissociative identity disorder. e: note the dissociative spectrum as I outlined is not burden of suffering- simple ptsd can of course be extremely intense and more complex trauma can be more like constriction than obvious suffering per se nice obelisk idiot has issued a correction as of 08:22 on Jan 20, 2024 |

complex dissociative symptomologies suck incredible rear end but theyre absolutely as surreal as described and while mine did not involve the world becoming animé (during crisis it was more like the world became as viewed through a small crt television) thats a completely believable one

as a cptsd haver, I experienced dissociation as a feeling of watching myself do things, especially in "stressful" situations (situations that I realized later were in fact stressful for me, even if I didn't register it as stressful as it was happening at the time). For me dissociation was usually triggered by dealing with some kind of authority figure, somebody who would get my blood pumping, my heart pounding, my adrenaline surging. it's like my perspective would float up to the ceiling and I would watch myself saying and doing things automatically. I wouldn't have any volition in the situation - everything happened like it was a script laid out well in advance. I said things that "I'", the disembodied perspective, knew "I", the actual physical meat husk, shouldn't say, and did things that "I" shouldn't do - should being measured against what would be good for my long-term physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I find it difficult to remember what actually happened during dissociative episodes. There was always emotional fallout that I experienced later, after the event. I didn't even recognize these episodes as such until I talked about it with a therapist. It was just weird but regular stuff that had always happened to me. I haven't had one for years now and I definitely don't miss them.

A lot of people say it's like watching a television, yeah, kind of similar. I actually feel a little ashamed (I know I shouldn't) that I was 'hiding' my executive functions but still forcing some part of my brain to experience it without me, I don't remember what was said, just the visuals. I know this isn't how it works, but when I finally get fired for being an emotional wreck of an engineer, maybe I can pursue my neurology degree then I'll have a better idea the physiology of what's happening.
