So I tend to kinda dissociate from myself and place myself into the main character of whatever story I’m consuming (game/show/movie/etc). I just watched perfect blue for the first time. Yeah I’m not having a great time rn

Oh yea! I got that real bad when I watched it. It helped me to watch it again with someone else bc their presence helped ground me. We were also holding hands so that helped too

Like my brain keeps being like “hey, if you were in psychosis and had memory gaps from dissociative amnesia, you wouldn’t have to face your current issues! Sounds great right?” (to be clear, I /do/ /not/ actually believe this but mental illness go brrr)

But yeah as a result I’m dissociating a lot right now, lots of brain fog while writing this

I have someone I’m close enough with to do that who I don’t think has seen it yet, might do that at some point later. Thanks for the idea!
