Is this dissociation? Related to a dissociative disorder?

Postby Aria077 » Thu Jan 19, 2023 11:04 pm

Basically, I just wanted opinions as to if it's dissociation, and if it's related to a dissociative disorder or just depression/trauma response.

I use to do this daily in high school, but then it stopped for a while, and lately, it's come back. For a while now, daily, I wake up and stay in bed for 5-6 hours doing absolutely nothing other then daydreaming/thinking/being in a blank state of mind, and it feels like only maybe a couple hours at most went by. It started coming back with just staying it bed for 1-3 hours, but eventually the time doing it increased. If I didn't get to do it in the morning, it's very likely I'll do it later in the day. Many times, I'll even skip out on going to the bathroom in the morning because I can't get out of bed. If I do end up going to the bathroom, I'll lazily go and go right back to bed to start the typical morning routine of what seems to be dissociating.

When I did it in high school, it felt like I had to do it in order to get through the day, or else it just wouldn't feel right. I really hated going to school/going though the day for many reasons. I'd even wake up extra early so that I could do it without being disturbed/having to rush to get ready for school.

My childhood trauma is basically neglect and not having my needs met, basic needs and special needs, and having people who understood/saw/reflected me. This all resulted in a lot of mental health issues, such as sdepression, social isolation, anxiety, probably cptsd, etc...
