I’ve noticed that my dissociative episodes happen when I feel like I need to repress my emotions. (I almost always feel this way actually because my emotions are so extreme but hear me out) When there is more urgent or pressing stress on me to remain composed when my emotions start feeling extreme I have noticed I dissociate. If I am on my way to work, about to engage in sex, in a very public environment etc. are the more obvious triggers but I am thinking even when I am home alone I may be subconsciously putting this extra pressure on myself and causing it too? I have yet to test this theory..

Does anyone else find this to be true?
