>The drowsiness etc thing is a perfect desciption of you dissociating. I call it blanking out, or 'leaving'. Its a normal response. LOTS of people do it. If you feel yourself leaving, then you can try and 'ground' yourself back (doesn't work for me), and sometimes your T can talk you back if they notice it. It can be hard to notice until too late.
Maybe your T could make extra notes for you of your sessions during this time when you are being more dissociative? It is frustarating to not remember... Maybe he could regular 'check in' to see if you there?
i can't tell him about this... seriously. i am amazed that you can and do. It's very brave. i am not that brave. i don't know if that is dissociating... i don't think so somehow. i don't know.. either way, that is not going to be something he will ever hear. Nope.i miss him. i feel alone.
baglady would be my worst fear... remember all the medical issues i have... i'm already so alone in the world.. don't want to end up even more alone with no family or friends. i have always wanted to make something of myself.. don't want to fail but i can't seem to make it. i am disappointing myself and so many others.
