Level 5 · 8 mo agoRight, calling Christie’s case 'textbook' is a pretty big misunderstanding. Evidence suggests it was a staged event, so citing it as a definitive example of dissociative fugue is just wrong.

Level 10 · 8 mo agoThe driving on autopilot example is scary accurate. I swear I lose 20 minutes of my life every morning just getting to work lol

Level 2 · 8 mo agoComparing watching a movie to clinical dissociation is ridiculous, what the hell??? That is just normal immersion! You are confusing basic focus with actual trauma symptoms to make it sound scary.
