hello lionness
yes ive been disassociative in the past
not for awhile now
i had to go through some stuff after years of going around it
as it ended up seeping into any uncomfortable situation
and became a habit. sometimes its like i wasnt in my body even if having some discomfort w/ a colleague-kinda surreal
anytime there was a ripple...
it was worth the effort to get things in proportion
by addressing feelings i had stuffed
yes of course it was
fun fun fun

I think sometimes people just cannot handle the STRESS of letting themselves feel. They may start off as a very sensitive, passionate person and somehow during the course of their life something happens where feeling too much has been a source of great pain and frustration. They close themselves up because it is much safer not to let their feelings be felt.

I haven't felt that way since I gave up drugs and hard boozing when I was in my early twenties. Having said that, I, like Indy, find that few things surprise or shock me anymore...

After all life's knocks I thought I was un-feeling, then I realised I didn't flinch!!! one of my daughters told me at 18 she was about to be a mum !!. my mother had breast cancer, my aunt was dying and all I could think about was Me, not in a selfish way but I was numb, once I let the feelings through I cried my eyes out,
once over that I am the proud grandma of a little girl, my aunt sadly died, but my mother is maaking a good recovery, thank goodness I came around in time to feel what I was feeling

thats weird kansan
its generally when someone gives up that tool for coping
that they cant be 'present'
when some moments of life are occurring...
takes internal housecleaning and practice
and yeah lioness it is the extremely sensitive most of the time
that hit overload easily and check out in a myriad of ways
getting feelings proportionate to the circumstance
is no short road
but for me-it was worth the trip
breathe.
smile. do it by rote-someday ya mean it

Maybe that was because back then all you ever cared about was being wasted to block out the world?
I'm glad your better Kansan and congrats on your happy marriage!

Sounds like the initial shock of it all was too much to process at the time. Time....sometimes is what you need to digest your feelings and then you need to purge to get the toxic out of your system.

The worst scenerio is when it concerns other people and you lose your compassion or rebuff someone's feelings toward you...esp. love.

seems to have been one thing after another all my life, I thought about it earlier and there has not been a time without trauma, I was quite well aware of that I think on my feet, but seeing my grandaughter born was one of the most awfull and at the same time wonderfull things that I have ever experienced
I was not numb just relieved that both my daughter and her's were safe and sound,
I laugh now when people ask me for a time scale of my life, the way as I look at it I am here to tell the tale
