Personal monologue (YouTube) by Corrina Rawlinson describing her experience with dissociation during a mental-health crisis. In this chunk she recounts walking while feeling disconnected from her body, passing friends' houses without asking for help, realizing the experience is called dissociation, and fearing others would see her while she felt she was "losing [her] shit." The excerpt emphasizes acute disorientation, frequent dissociation in her history, and shame/fear about being perceived.

And actually just a little bit was like, God, is this it for me? And I kept walking, and I walked past friends houses that I know that I could have walked into and asked for help. Like, I just. I had no idea what was going on. And I know now that they call it disassociated, where you're actually not in your body. And I realize now, obviously, having gone through my mental health, of how often I would disassociate, and it was a lot. And then I just kind of got up and kept walking, and I was like, I really hope no one sees me because I'm actually really fucking crazy right now, and I'm, like, losing my shit.
