dissociation + sensation on top of head
 

Does anyone else get this when they dissociate? A feeling of your mind being blanked, and a kind of like opening/fizzy sensation on the very top of your head. Like it's opening up and something's escaping.
It's disconcerting.

The cranial osteopath I saw for a while placed it as my psyche returning to the pre-birth state. Maybe for protection? But I don't know.

I don't know if what happens to me is dissociating, but when I physically go numb and things.. change for lack of a better description, I get a sensation like that.

i sometimetimes get a funny /fuzzy /pressure headache type thing when we switch alot..
but it doesnt actually hurt much for sadie and me.. however poor sarah it hurts for her, but she seems to feel everything in the body hurt worse.. she hates my body more than any of us do and we all hate it.

Thanks.

It's like my head's physically zoning out - like something in me is leaving my body.
That's the part of the skull that is last to close in a newborn. Mine could be vulnerable due to prematurity, and the whole forceps thing.
It eased off a bit after eating, but it's happening again now.

I get this ALL the time. I feel like the top of me head is fizzing, or bubbling like water or spinning right off. It's confusing.

Yes. Like that.
Like I have to shake my head to try and shake it off, but it doesn't work.
I have found in the past that massaging my head can help, but it's rather unwieldy to do!

I thankfully don't get it so much now - I used to get it all the time, and know how debilitating it can be. Now I get it 'only' when something overwhelms some part of me and I compartmentalise in some way to cope. Maybe.

I used to get it when I dissociated...it was like a kind of cold/fizzy sensation on my head. A bit like sherbet :S
Its weird. i just thought it was adrenaline :/

No one's ever given me a biological explanation for it!

Glad I'm not the only one...

I don't get it every time I dissociate. Just some times. I likely need to pinpoint what singles out those times. Hmm...
