In reading about the prevalence of #dissociating in patients with #schizophrenia spectrum disorders, I came across this fascinating paper detailing diagnostic criteria for SSDs and Disociative Disorders. Among other things of interest, it talks about the "network structure of psychopathology." Or the idea that mental health problems we currently view as co-morbid may actually just be causally linked. As in anxiety makes it hard to sleep...

My cats can tell I'm #dissociating. Things have been rough, but I'm doing my best. I've eaten and cleaned the hair, scalp, and body.

How did I go from peeing to cleaning the bathroom to starting a load of laundry as I'm running around the apartment in my undies?

Husby has done the early #retirement thing today. As in, had the forms filled, and clicked "Submit."

He's been #dissociating in the last few days from #anxiety. His management has been making his life… not hell, just bad enough to push him out. Passive-aggressive quiet mobbing. It worked. But he gets the last laugh. They have no idea how much work he does that they think just happens by itself.

I've never been prouder of him. ♥️

To elaborate, my symptoms were so severe before I got him, that I was regularly #dissociating for hours on end. I experienced #derealization and #depersonalization multiple times per day. the episode that I had this past week was the worst that I had in months, as I now go weeks without dissociating. This little guy is the best grounding technique I could have ever asked for, and I love him to pieces. Absolutely worth the 2 years of #ServiceDog training. :)

Depression is eating me alive right now. I just called out of work. Being alone and inactive doesn't help much, but I can't work if I'm #dissociating the entire damn time and moving slowly due to #catatonia . Depression is a fuck.

Honestly, it doesn't help that depression and anxiety are perfectly rational reactions to what's happening all around us. Knowing that it's 'justified' doesn't make it easier to handle. Sigh.
