Hi y'all, I think I might have dissociative episodes but my therapist once told me that it was just "overwhelming emotion". Needless to say, I got pissed off and never went back to her after that. 

My "dissociative" (not sure if it is or not) episodes pretty much consist of doubting myself. Whether it's at work (having to count a register more than once because of counting wrong, having to double/triple check something has been done or the time I'm supposed to be at work) or at home (having to ask what someone is saying more than once because I can't physically hear or I can't understand what they are saying because I'm "out of it", losing train of thought frequently, not remembering what I was going to do after something, just spacing the fuck out for minutes) or even driving (staring at the stoplight until it's green and waiting for someone next to me to go so I don't run a red light). I told my therapist about some of these, and she dismissed it as "overwhelming emotion". It really upset me and further caused me to question myself and if I'm just...making all this up for attention or something. I don't know. I just wanted a second opinion, and I understand if this isn't the right place. Thank you for reading regardless!
