I think it could be dissociation.

Try to use senses like smell, touch etc.

Try doing some small excercise like moving your legs or arms.

Focus on something you can see, hear. Notice things around you.

Take something nice and notice details of it.

Hope it passes soon...

You are doing very well just don't fight it, let it be and let it pass. Fighting only adds to the struggle.

One breath at a time, one step at a time...

It sounds like something is going on with you that you wish you were somewhere else. That you want to get a way from that feeling. I agree it sounds like disassociation. Breathing through it is a good way to get through it. I hope it passes soon and you can understand what is bothering you and how you can deal with it, grow from it and heal from it. Take care.

There is dissociation and then the multiple personality disorder feelings that can occur with complex PTSD. Splitting fragmenting dissociating. I miss my trauma therapy. I found interacting with a support dog and a trauma therapist was very helpful. We are very sensitive people and these symptoms can mean we're at overwhelm. Don't try to handle alone what most shrinks don't understand.
