Dissociation
 

Well, I thought it was just anxiety that caused this, but my anxiety is gone and I still experience this.

I have been struggling with derealization/depersonalization ever since my minor head injury. This was my first concussion, and I had no unconsciousness or nausea. It's been almost exactly two months.

I've had numerous tests, and my memory checks out fine...however, something isn't quite right. It's hard to explain, but I'll suddenly dissociate, and then it feels like everything that has happened earlier in the day before the dissociation was longer ago, almost as if I had slept and woken up. These sensations are quite terrifying.

Anybody else experiencing this? Any advice or knowledge on the subject?

seven weeks after the concussion and i experience something similar. part of it is momentary... i'm not quite present the way i used to be. everything is further away, as if in a dream. and then temporally, like you're describing... the way time passes makes it seem like things are falling away very fast.

Exactly...terrifying.

Two years from my TBI...Wakingback, you described it perfectly.

I totally experience that, too. It can be really unnerving. I seem to have a difficulty chaining together the events of my day into a story; instead, it seems like parts of the day happened a very long time ago or not at all.

At least once a day, someone else asks me where I've been or what I'm looking at. Usually, this brings me to the present moment. I'm not aware of staring off into space in the moments before that. I'm guessing my dissociation happens even more often than I'm aware of.
