Dissociating while driving is extemely dangerous! If you often zone out, you may have undiagnosed BVD. When the eye muscles are too tired from keeping the eyes aligned and focused, the brain chooses to dissociate instead to relax your eyes… #driving #dissociate #dissociativedisorder #bvd #binocularvisionmatters #headaches #migraines

I disassociate while driving but I never miss anything. Somehow I’m fully functional. I stop when I’m supposed to, and go, turn, wait, regulate speed. It’s somehow only in social situations where I have a problem.

I dont ever remember stopping at red lights, even though I do. I dont remember the drive home after I've gotten home. Just blank

I started singing as loud and crazy as i can. Weirdly enough, im not religious but gospel music is exciting and forces me to BELT. Rock music too. keeps me awake and alert, try that.

I’m scared of my cousin driving because of this .
She had already crashed into a stop sign.

It's more likely to be something like ADHD, depression, DID, OSDD, PTSD etc.

I zone out and my eyes are still open lol and i come back to and start wondering if anybody noticed happens very often?? Dont know why?

I do this but with walking, then I’ll get to where ever I was going to go, not remembering crossing the road or anything, it’s weird

My mom's bestie when I was little would mention these experiences when driving. Now I have suspicion she and my mom both are BPD spectrum and were trauma bonded as kids. They're estranged now and my mom's the same still.

Wait I disassociate but now I get anxiety esp on bridges

[kato_dsrdr]

We forgetting that we exist while driving.

I use this as a perk. I put on cruise control 80mph and zone out. Get to work faster. Be an alpha male

I was walking while zoning out. I almost got hit by a car.

So what do you call the type of dissociation that keeps you fully functional or at the very least as functional as any other fully there person would be. I imagine it it’s automatic mode mixed with reflexes pretty good attentiveness to functions and systems around you.
