Them: "How are you feeling?" Me: "Everything is awful, but I'm mostly numb to feeling anything at all at this point? Dissociating, mostly." Them: ... Me: "...I meant it's fine. Everything is fine. How are you?"

Yeaaaahhh. The only way for me to cope with Everything™ is to be partly dissociated all the time so I can function without being crushed by how overwhelmed I am by the endless ways humans find to hurt each other.

I used to say "I'm alive" as a bit. A lil funny haha left-field response. Nowadays, I think it's the most honest response I can give.

Every single time someone asks me how I'm doing I can physically feel the depersonalization as I backslide gently into a smile and a "I'm all good, how 'bout you?"

I feel you. It doesn't help when I have that reaction and people look at me like I'm an alien.

Also, some of them just... don't seem to be impacted.. somehow..? It makes me want to bring everything up even more.

Same here... except sometimes instead of a semi-recovered "it's fine," I'll continue into full existential dread and crisis mode.
