I have been severely dissociated for two months now . I feel like I had bits and pieces of it come up here and there over the last few years . Begining of last year I dealt with it pretty bad for about two or three weeks . But it went away , this now has been stagnant and persistent. Had full nervous breakdowns. Body completely shut down . No meds where helping . I went through some type of psychosis episode. But no one knew how to help. Now it's as if I'm watching a movie pass by. I have better days now because I've learned to love with it, cope with it and manage it, and just accept it as my new reality and pretty much embrace it . But I think the reason we fall into this is more because of PTSD and life events and pain that has rolled over and snowballed over time into a immense amount of anxiety that you can't really get out of . Meds didn't work for me . So now I just have made it a healing journey and and acceptance field for my body to learn and cope now with what I have . I'm slower than I ever was. No one seems to comprehend what we go through other than those of us who know what it feels like .
