Thank you all. For me, I often experience intrusive thoughts and so the feeling like numbness latches to parts of my identity, so I end up worrying that I'm losing myself or my mind. Right now it's my gender identity

It sucks because I don't want to change but I have a theory that dealing with dissociation is the same as the thoughts and so just letting them happen and not really intensely focusing on it will help. Sometimes I just feel so over whelmed and tired

Could you maybe elaborate on certain things? Like when you say "the reason you feel like this is because your hyper aware Because your convincing yourself Your "out of it". Could you explain that A little more

@leahfaith I find myself wanting to go back to before everything happened and also I worried I change, my brain convinces me I change sometimes. Please read my comments below for explanation

@leahfaith I think this is what I go through. So I suppose the best thing is to let it go? Act as usual?

@leahfaith I'm sorry if this sounds odd or lest optimistic but I am worried I'll never get better

@leahfaith Thanks. I guess my problem is ruminations and it sucks but I will work on it. I have been noticing that when I stop focusing so hard on how I feel I feel better. I try to feel normal and check how I feel a lot. When I don't feel normal it gets worse. It's hard to explain in full especially in my current state but it will be ok

You can’t lose yourself from disassociation. When it happens, tell yourself, “I’m disassociating, I know what this feels like, and it is going to go away.” The worst thing you can do is freak out. The first few times it happened to me I got really freaked out but it just made it worse. Now when it comes on I know what to expect and I just let myself be in the moment (notice your surroundings, hear the sounds around you

Once it came on and I started to freak out and my bf said “what are you feeling right now” I said “it feels like I’m in a dream or like I’m on drugs!!” He said “wow that seems pretty cool I wish I had that” sometimes you have to look at it in a different light to not freak out

Yeah I still have this a lot, but if you have so much aneixty it will cause it. It is hard but you have too calm yourself and know that you will be alright. I still deal with it at times, mostly at night for some reason but you will get better.
