Experiencing Dissociation: Am I Losing My Mind?

Is this dissociation?? I'm confused still. I am forgetful though which leaves me feeling very confused. let me share what I wrote about it and please tell me if this sounds like dissociation to you! far away, double vision, blurry, floating, dizzy, the ground moving without me, not feeling my limbs, or my head, or anything really. like something is trying to escape its confinement. and I hate my body for not letting me all the way out.. pulling away. watching myself, a bystander but not completely separate. not processing anything that's said to me. responding, agreeing, but not really acting. aimless. part of me knows I need to snap out of it or I'll spiral. but I just wait because I can't make myself do much of anything, not reacting or responding on time, sometimes not speaking, walking, or listening. small things like that can be out of the question. it's all too much. being in my own body and existing is too much. heavy. like dreaming. slow or fast breathing.. the world slows down, off balance.. thanks for listening!! <3

I should mentioned I have not been diagnosed but felt like I needed to use this as a topic. I did take a test with a psychologist present and scored high. But it also felt like he didn't believe me and I'm second guessing myself.
