work vent, anxiety & dissociation
I realized yesterday, with great help from my toyfriend, that I have a very lesser intensity of dissociation that I tends to come out with regular day to day anxiety.
I have a tendency to be "spacey" and not all there. I run conversation on autopilot and when something pops up I'm not expecting I flounder, often being unable to parse or respond.
I've never before now associated it with dissociation, but…

… it definitely is to some degree. It also has been keeping me from using healthy methods of grounding and anxiety reduction, as when stress hits, I just end up spacing.
It feels like "objective third person", when a heavier episode would be "omniscient third person" for lack of better metaphor
