I hit upon an emotion and could not recall the conversation at all.

So were you in the middle of the story or had you not started telling it yet?
It could have been that you just lost your train of thought, and it just happens that it was at an emotional time. I don’t know if it would have to happen several times before you could actually call it dissociation?? If it was me I would have blanked or spaced out many times all though out telling the story, like someone was literally inside my brain ripping my thoughts away from me, and it takes everything I have to try and stay there or present.

Anxiety??? Dissociation??

Did you feel anxious? Or nothing? Because for me I know I’m dissociating when there’s something that I know I would feel anxious about, but I literally feel nothing. I don’t think I could feel anxious and dissociate at the same time? But I don’t know! I’m still new at actually labeling all of this…

I do this all the time, and it drives me crazy Liese. It is sooo hard to keep my thoughts together and follow them through, and it often leaves me with a really disturbed kind of helpless feeling. I know there is something that I need to say, something I badly need to talk about- but I don't know what it is! I can't "find"it. I don't know what to call it- but can I call it really annoying? grrr. hate it.
