Dissociation

Name: Dissociation

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Description: I am very grateful for my ability to dissociate. Dissociation is a disconnection or separation of thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions, and identity. It protects me from experiencing things that might break me mentally. However, I find that dissociating can be jarring at times. I come back into reality confused. I personally feel like I am floating above myself, unable to get off autopilot. I depict myself spaced out. My conscious is the lines behind my head. The feeling of life sucked out of my body makes me feel sick and green. The world behind me is blurred. I wonder: when will I come back to reality?
