welcome lotusandice. I think my dissociation gets worse with stress too. I too don't have an official diagnosis, but my psych says she thinks I have some form of dissociation.
Liddy I agree with Laura, but also feel the same as you. I know it is hard, but whatever the type of abuse and whatever it was, if it affects you then it affects you and is valid (not the abuse being valid, but the after affects being valid, really hope that makes sense)
I am sorry the words are stuck in your head Jess, I often feel the same, it can be hard.
Laura, how are you?
Kerry, sorry you keep spacing out, anything you can do to ground yourself.
Glad you have calmed down and are ok Utopia.
I really don't know how I am, my CC should ring tomorrow and wants to visit and will ask how I am and I literally don't know what to say. I also swear there is so much to tell her, but don't know where an earth to start.
I was also only subjected to emotional abuse from my father, although it got close to being physical quite a few times, the bullying at school was both verbal and physical and I was nearly killed twice, part of me wishes they had just done it there and then. sorry I'll stop now.
