[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (4 children) That's dissociation - is dissociation part of ADHD? permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) No, it's daydreaming. Simply getting stuck in your thoughts and doing stuff without thinking about what you're doing until you break out from daydreaming. Edit: I experienced dissociation quite a few times in the past but not even close to the amount of daydreams I had. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's also lack of working memory permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 2 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] MegaTony@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Yeah it happens to me sometimes. But what’s real scary is it happening while driving. I left work one afternoon and felt like I had teleported 30 minutes into the future and ended up at my house. Didn’t remember anything in between. Luckily it’s only happened to me once. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] folkrav@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 3 points 2 years ago I just looked it up and there seems to be a link between ADHD and dissociation. I don't know how strong this link is though: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/adhd-dissociation#what-is-dissociation permalink fedilink source parent [–] nicetomeetyouIMVEGAN@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago Dissociation and distraction by you inner conversation can look the same from the outside. I always thought that I was dissociating, because the descriptions fiit very nicely. Dissociated state is however a trauma response and the onset somewhat predictable, I lack the trauma part. (unless you subscribe to the theory of complex ptsd and adhd, but the same distinction applies nevertheless. The distracted state remains unpredictable) permalink fedilink source parent
