I’ve spent all my life thinking I have never dissociated because the basic explanation of what it is didn’t fit to anything I was experiencing. Therapists tend to describe it as getting out of your body and watching yourself do things. Maybe I took it too literally but I thought it never happened to me until I started to study traumas and their side effects and they gave different type of dissociation. I have spent all my life having those moments where I felt I wasn’t there anymore and just was on auto control about to pass out. I realized that was dissociating and this realization happened like 3weeks ago.
So last night it happened again and this time my best friend what texting me and he told me I shouldn’t stay alone but also tried to give me ways to get out of there. He told me that falling asleep while dissociating is bad etc. 

I was just wondering if any of you have more info about whether it’s bad or not and how to get out of it? I usually just deal w it by myself, suffer in silence until I fall asleep. I rly don’t know anything about it about how unhealthy it can be. Thank you for those who answer me.
