Disassociation: We have a defense mechanism called disassociation which allows us to leave reality and go into another mental state to escape whatever is troubling us in the reality aspect of our lives. It is possible that this is your experience or possibly a medical condition is a factor as well. Consult with your doctor to rule out medical issues, if cleared consult with a mental health professional. Best wish.
