It’s called disassociating.
Oh no.
I do that a lot, is it that bad?
Only if it negatively impacts your life.
Most symptoms of the “milder” mental disorders (depression, anxiety, adhd, etc.) are things that everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
It’s the degree of experience, frequency, and impact that differentiate the two. Also, when those symptoms don’t have an environmental/situational/logical cause.
For example, being too anxious to go out with friends, or compulsively checking that the stove is off even though you know damn well it hasn’t been turned on in a month. Also, being sad because your pet died isn’t a mental disorder like clinical depression.
The line between the two is definitely fuzzy, but psychology is a super complex topic.
Only if it negatively impacts your life.
This is also, generally speaking, the line between, say, having obsessive compulsions and having OCD. So if anyone is looking for a way express “haha, I’m totally ocd” without sounding dismissive of people with a serious disorder, just say “sometimes I have obsessive compulsions”. That would imply it’s nothing serious.
Same for PTSD. It’s ok to experience post-traumatic stress after something “rather banal”, like I don’t know, seeing a stranger break their leg. And calling post-traumatic stress is fine. Just don’t say “that baby on the airplane gave me ptsd.” That’s quite dismissive.
Anyone that needs help, go get it. Don’t let that your problem feels banal be an impediment. If something is impacting your life negatively, tune it up.
No it’s extremely healthy
If you’re serious, then I’m crazy healthy!
Same.
I’ve been realizing lately that it might be from ADHD - along with many other symptoms. Hoping to get diagnosed next year, and hopefully I won’t waste quite so much time just quietly stressing out.
Some people snort ketamine to get there

If it causes difficulties/stress in your life, it might be worth looking into. For me it turned out to be a symptom of CPTSD, which was a surprise
I have CPTSD, ADHD and Autism. Could be any of the above!
If I could freeze time, I would honestly use it to just have as much time to do nothing as I wanted without missing out on real time events. I wouldn’t even use it for anything else
Finally sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

just sitting for a while and letting your mind relax is a massively under appreciated activity
Its better if its planned, structured, and doesmt interfere with our regular scheduled broadcast though.
Welcome to dissociation, pal.
Your NPC subroutine is taking a long time to load.

If I sit perfectly still right here and don’t think then nothing can hurt me, even my own thoughts.
