It's rather obviously a way of escaping, but I would much prefer it if I had more control over it. I think my employers would prefer that as well. :(

Hi Dinah,

Have you ever had a sleep study done or an EEG? A lot of what you are talking about sounds like seizure-like episodes. Temporal lobe seizures can cause feelings of agitation and derealization. Something you might want to investigate.

good luck,
Mitch
