Dissociation is not always dramatic or obvious.
Sometimes it looks like zoning out mid-conversation, feeling disconnected from your emotions, or feeling like you are watching life from the outside.
It can also show up in quiet, everyday ways:
Spacing out under stress
Feeling emotionally numb
Feeling detached from your body
Losing track of time
Feeling like things around you are not real
You are not broken. Your mind may be trying to protect you.
Awareness is the first step to healing. If this feels familiar, it may be worth talking to someone you trust or reaching out for support.
