noun
the disconnection or separation of something from something else or the state of being disconnected.
When I dissociate I feel so far from myself I could be in a different room entirely. Like I'm floating outside of my body, watching the world go by.
I've heard it referred to as a parachute for when I'm anxious. My brain just kinda goes on autopilot and does its thing so I don't have to deal with the anxiety. It's a protection mechanism. Almost like fight or flight. Fight being crying and shutting down and flight being dissociation. I either face my emotions or let them settle down.
