I’ve also been experiencing ‘blackouts’ but I have every holiday time for the last three years. Mine is a trauma response. Sending you good vibes!

Honestly seeing this made me feel a bit better this is EXACTLY what I've been feeling, my memory sucks, and i feel so disconnected from myself and others like i don't know how I'm feeling or how to communicate anymore and i feel so numb. Hopefully we can work through this, I'd love to talk about it if you want to
I totally have been there. I’m still there. I used to daydream/immerse myself in my head to cope with it. I have been trying to scream less and ruminate less in my head, and that’s made it easier to have the mental energy to ‘connect’ with people. But I’m still going through it, too. Idk. I wonder if maybe I’m the type who needs to have a good relationship with myself before I can share those good vibes with somebody else

@4byfour yes maladaptive daydreaming for me, i didn't think it was a problem until i realized i don't know how to socialize, didn't help that i was constantly told to be quiet as a child and didn't have siblings, if you have any tips i could really use them
@AorticOwl980 @AorticOwl980 I’m doing a point system, per recommendation of my therapist! So every time I do something that took a bit of effort, I give myself a point. Every morning I erase the points from the previous day. So if I go to the center of my mind to calm down, point. If I brush my teeth, point. If I had a nice thought in the mirror, despite 10 other mean ones, point. If I cried and did absolutely nothing, but I still got out of bed, point. It’s helped a ton to get my brain to start seeing these things as the ‘half full cup’. My therapist told me that. I have a ‘mind calming, WOAH?!’ Section of the board for when I’m able to remember I’m daydreaming, and stopped it, even if I went right back to it again. The goal is just to say, ‘hey, stopping is worth the point, ain’t it?’ I used to get 5 points a day. I got 72 last night :) I still feel lonely and disassociated around people, but I have seen an improvement since ‘subconsciously’ raising my self esteem a bit :) It’s such slow progress but I’m actually seeing progress :) I’m not perfect and I’m definitely a turtle, but I did earn myself 2 points for typing this!!!

@4byfour honesty that’s what I was thinking as well , I guess we both need to connect and love ourselves first to feel alive , stay strong !!
