Thoughts on "dissociation"?

[pika401]

Recently, this tweet got viral on the platform, mostly coming from quote tweets saying "DON'T DO THIS" getting 100K+ likes. I always thought that dissociation was a great alternative to suicide, it's like you don't care what happens to you anymore, and you start accepting everything, but you are no longer motivated to do anything. I think it is very similar to suicide minus the negative trauma that will be given to people around you.

Is this generally a good idea? Or is it not going to fix anything and make things worse? For me I haven't felt anything other than a weird but fresh sense of comfort.

To each their own, but to me it sounds like another form of gaslighting. Dissociating is a sign that something's VERY wrong. A trauma response. And now they're basically saying it's a healthy power? I don't know, man. I feel insulted.
