Anyone else subconsciously use disassociation as a coping mechanism? My therapist has been telling me it's ok, but they also say it's not lol. I feel like I need to stop this habit if I'm gonna be a functioning part of society, but it's such a comfy bubble that I make for myself and I don't want to leave it šŸ˜•

      yes I feel this. itā€™s strange because itā€™s a huge saving grace on the daily, yet I donā€™t actually reap any benefits from it beyond when iā€™m in that, and the crash of confidence/morale when I have to hit play after being on my pause mode is brutal :/

      Yeah I do this. Itā€™s mostly a sensory/depression thing that I have 0 control over for me.

      A hundred percent. I often do that or turn to maladaptive daydreaming.
