Question

So after reading through a couple of these topics, I'm interested to see if anyone experiences DP like I do.

I've noticed that I will dissociate for about a week almost every month (sometimes I can go two months without it). It's almost like a routine, strange enough. A lot of times, I'll dissociate the same week I did the year before (ex - christmas). Most of the time, there is no trigger or reason for it. But I will start to notice that my face gets numb and I stop being able to feel most of my body, then the next morning I'll wake up dissociated.

I've noticed that a lot of people experience it for weeks or just constantly. Not to say that I don't always feel it, because in a sense I am almost always slightly dissociated. But I really become fully aware of it during that week.

Does anyone else have this "routine" dissociation ?

Also, does anyone else feel like they've lost most of their emotions? I know I used to feel things very deeply and now I'll go into stages where I just don't care about anything. I can sometimes treat the people I love like nothing and it kills me. Distressing things people tell me have almost no effect on me. I'm more emotionally numb, even when im not dissociated.

Background - I started dissociating 3 and a half years ago after waking up from a party in high school. I BELIEVE it is marijuana-induced.
