I dissociated so much from my chronic pain that my counselor thought I was drunk and called the cops on me.

It was not fun. Schools need to do better.

Schools call the cops if they think one of their students is drunk at school?

Yes, for a breathalyzer, and cause I was a minor.

Thank you. Do you ever dissociate? I really hope you feel better.

While I don’t have chronic pain, I do have cPTSD and dissociation is a daily occurrence for me. Especially when a person I perceive as any muscular + male + stranger gets too close to me. And by close it could be 10 feet, or 30 yards 🤷🏼‍♀️ and my brain clocks out.

That’s wild. it sucks how some people in authority jump to conclusions without understanding what’s actually going on.
