Disassociation

Veronica

I’ve been getting really bad disassociation lately. It started a couple years ago but used to happen very rarely and now it happens all the time and sometimes for longer periods of time. during my episodes I totally disconnect from myself and the world around me. Sometimes I feel like I’m not living my life, but like I’m watching my body live my life and it feels like my mind is separate from my body. It’s very uncomfortable and makes me feel like I can never be present in the moment because I’m disassociating all the time... I also have OCD and potentially mild depression but I’m currently struggling to understand these disassociation episodes... does anyone else have experience with this or can help me understand it more?
