Does anyone else with a dissociative disorder just like to sit in their dissociation when they’re not in any active danger?
Like if I start dissociating but I’m physically safe and it’s not making me uncomfortable or putting anyone at risk, I like to just sit there and allow it to happen. It’s a coping mechanism for a reason, and I’m coping with something, so I think I should just let it be as long as it’s not interfering with anything at the moment.
Obviously I try to ground myself if it starts to happen at work or anywhere but the comfort and safety of my own home, but when nothing is at stake, I struggle to see a reason to force myself to be present if my brain decided I didn’t need to be.
