Sequence & daily life

A less somber topic this time: just "regular" day-to-day life. A normal day... I was wondering if this is something anyone here has experienced, and what it's like (because I was wondering if I can remember having ever experienced it myself, I guess).

** Daily disorientation. Possible trigger, maybe? **

Can you describe what it's like to have a normal day, where you wake up at a normal time, and you follow through with your day from start to finish, doing the things you need to do and the things you want and like to do (especially the little things), in a sequence that makes sense — so much so that throughout your entire day you don't even stop to wonder "what's wrong" or "how did I get here, and how can I get out of this situation"?

I think this song/video ("let forever be") is a very good artistic representation of what I mean:

For those who have been in treatment or who have had success with their own coping methods for daily life: do you have any tips how to reduce the usual disorientation?

PS: I don't have access to proper treatment at the moment, so I'll probably keep asking questions here that I should be asking a therapist instead. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

We get glimpses of it throughout the year, just 3 days at a time. We feel normal, happy, content and able to do what we want e.g go out without needing a toy or having a panic attack, no-one telling us where to go or what to do. However, they only last 3 days max because then someone panics. Inside it gets so painful and scary that we are 'normal', that we just can't cope with the feelings and without our safety net....all of us. We shut down, sleep for days on end, don't fancy doing much, and once again sink into the cycle of being us, listening to us, debating between us, working out what happened in the past, what we want to do now etc. Not sure if anyone else gets that but to us, it's a taste of 'reality' yet we just can't cope with it
