Anyone have any tips for keeping from dissociating? I know a couple of things that trigger it for me (one I can't go into, the other is certain pieces of music), and I can usually sense myself slipping into that kind of state, I just then don't/can't do anything about it.

It's not an answer, but what actually is dissociating? I think I might do it (or have done in the past, not so much recently) but I'm not sure

I'm not sure of the exact definition, but my psychologist said from what I've described it seems like I do it. I just kind of fall out of place with the rest of the world, almost like I'm getting really absorbed and focussed on something, only there's nothing there that I'm actually focussing on. Everything just disappears from view. Dunno if that makes it clear at all, not really thinking clearly right now.

It's very difficult because dissociating is almost like a coping mechanism and therefore you don't want to stop it. I've found that having as many conversations (real life) with people helps me get back into reality.

There's no-one home but me.
I was fine earlier then I made a stupid decision, and now my ears are ringing, I feel sick, and nothing around me feels right. Trying not to put certain songs on to listen to.

I kind of know what you mean, thanks
Could you talk to someone about it, like on the phone or something? Or find something that makes you be involved in it, like playing an instrument or something if you have one? Spoiler
Edit: Or goin for a walk could help, but make sure someone knows where you're going/roughly how long you'll be so they know you're safe

I can't honestly say I'm ok, but it's nothing I can talk about on here. Can't think what else to say, will respond to other posts later.

Safe enough I think. Hard to form words though.

I'm not feeling good, I'm not feeling good at all 
Just inquired about a job helping autistic people, much better than working in retail for me. Hope I get it now, worried I'll get too nervous & they won't let me because of my inexperience. However I know someone else who got in with no prior experience so ets see how it goes? 
On another note, how's everyone feeling today?
