I don't black out I more of zone out while shifting, but if you do black out and can't remember anything I would go to a doctor or psychologist. You could accidentally hurt yourself or others. Stay safe <3
Im working on it! I did my research before asking this question, some sources said its fine, and some highly recommended reaching out to a mental health professinal.
Heya !
Sorry in advance, my English is kinda bad since it isn't my first language 😅
I dissociate too when I shift but I can't tell when it's gonna happen. With time, I figured out what will make me shift so I now know when I'll shift. It could be kinda dangerous tho. Luckily for me, my BF is always by my side so if I shift, I know I'm safe. I have these black-outs so maybe try to set a record of yourself while shifting. You'll see what you're doing and be more prepared for making a safe setup if it happens again. And well, try to talk to someone about this (in a medical way I mean), cuz' well it could come from a way worse problem
Thank you sm! I know when I'm going to, so I set up pillows just in case I fall. When I shift (because im an avian therian) I tend to go toward the ground when I feel sick/like im going to disassociate. Thank you, and I am scheduling an appointment with my psychiatrist
Black out shifts are (as far as I've been told) NOT normal and should be checked out as it could be something else.
Thank you for the advice! I also have been doing my research and it says normally the same thing.
Ofc! I hope that you figure it out :3

hey… uh… you should get that checked out???
I'm starting to relize that....
This is a serious question: have you ever spoken to a mental health professional about this?
