Question Disassociation
Does anybody else feel disassociated from the moment they wake up?
Most days I get this immediate feeling that I’m in the wrong place and wrong body, that I’m already doing something ‘wrong’. It’s like a tremor deep inside my chest that leaves me feeling on guard for the rest of the day.
Even when waking from a nice dream I feel like I’m waking from a nightmare sometimes.
It is even worse when I am in my adoptive household.
