hmmmm....interesting question
the factual aspects of it evade me at this moment, but I can tell you the type of experiences I've had that I feel most closely resemble the termfor me it used to come in waves of sorts...days of horrible anxiety then followed by days of feeling detached, "numb", robotic, shut down, shut out, and yeah..."going through the motions"
I was glad when I had those days-it was just easier
I've also had periods during which I felt threatened too much, or overwhelmed, when I found myself staring, perhaps at an object, and I found myself unable to really attend to anything at all, like really spacing outit is a big word isn't it? it covers a lot of different descriptions
-just my 2 cents,
