Here's a link you might want to read, badassadam. It explains how closely PTSD is related to dissociative disorders.
https://www.sidran.org/resources/for-survivors-and-loved-ones/what-is-a-dissociative-disorder/https://drkathleenyoung.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/understanding-dissociation/I skimmed parts of the second one and this sprung out to me as highly relatable:
"Maybe you are so used to living with dissociation you do not even recognize it for what it is. It is important for you as a survivor to learn about dissociation, how it functioned as a protective mechanism during periods of abuse and how it isn’t so helpful in the present. This includes learning the early warning signs of dissociating for you as an individual. You can learn and employ grounding techniques successfully at that point."
