Well, i've found out that dissociation can either be transient or chronic and either be a disorder in its own right or appearing with other disorders. Dissociation is largely thought to be your body's reaction to cope with horrific/confusing/overwhelming circumstances. There are also different types of experiences you can have which determine which kind you have. Right now, I have just a general blanket diagnosis of dissociation, the doctor didn't put a specific type down. I'm fairly certain mine is chronic, given my past and since I can't remember a time without having these experiences. I've read that some people can remember when they started feeling that way, that isn't the case with me. Like you, i've experienced some amnesia. I'm currently unsure whether its due to a specific event or its just part of how I experience the world, just living life in a long, monotonous blur. Theres other funky stuff I could tell about, but theres so much. O_O The experiences vary greatly. Some days its easier to manage than others, depending upon the situation i'm in. Meaning, if i'm in a situation thats scary or awkward, it will flare up.
Thank you for responding to me, i'm glad that there are people like you who are understanding of these types of things.
