Hi
I had my weekly counselling session yesterday and I mentioned that I often go into this kind of trance where I just switch off and stare. I'd always associated these with being tired but she asked when I learned how to do it.
I thought back and I'm sure I used to do it as a child. I hadn't really thought much about it but they seem to be more frequent lately. I don't think I do it intentionally - it just happens. I do it quite a lot when I'm driving. I fix my stare on the car in front and I know I'm in it but it's really hard to pull out of it.
I actually quite enjoy them if I'm at home - it seems to cut my thoughts off completely and I can just think about nothing.
Is this something to do with anxiety? Does anyone else have these?
