It's like a trance

It's called disassociating.
- relevant comic
  
  Oh no.
- I do that a lot, is it that bad?
  
  No it’s extremely healthy
  
  Only if it negatively impacts your life.
  
  Most symptoms of the "milder" mental disorders (depression, anxiety, adhd, etc.) are things that everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
  
  It's the degree of experience, frequency, and impact that differentiate the two. Also, when those symptoms don't have an environmental/situational/logical cause.
  
  For example, being too anxious to go out with friends, or compulsively checking that the stove is off even though you know damn well it hasn't been turned on in a month. Also, being sad because your pet died isn't a mental disorder like clinical depression.
  
  The line between the two is definitely fuzzy, but psychology is a super complex topic.
  
  Same.
  
  I've been realizing lately that it might be from ADHD - along with many other symptoms. Hoping to get diagnosed next year, and hopefully I won't waste quite so much time just quietly stressing out.
  
  Some people snort ketamine to get there
  
  If it causes difficulties/stress in your life, it might be worth looking into. For me it turned out to be a symptom of CPTSD, which was a surprise
- Did you mean Dissociating?
  
  Yup, I did.
  
  Or it could also be meditation.
Welcome to dissociation, pal.
If I could freeze time, I would honestly use it to just have as much time to do nothing as I wanted without missing out on real time events. I wouldn't even use it for anything else
- Finally sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Oh yeah, nothing like dissociating on the chair for 20 minutes with a sock in one hand and the other on one foot.
just sitting for a while and letting your mind relax is a massively under appreciated activity
- Its better if its planned, structured, and doesmt interfere with our regular scheduled broadcast though.
Your NPC subroutine is taking a long time to load.
Hits close to home
Anxiety paralysis
If I sit perfectly still right here and don't think then nothing can hurt me, even my own thoughts.
