Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong time. Like maybe I'm still in the time of my trauma, and only daydreaming my present life.
I've done research on disassociation, and it has some similarities to my experience, but nothing I've read seems to hit on precisely what I'm going through. I assume there's a name for this? |

in me this is called many things given my own individual health issues and so forth. to find out what this is called in you, you will need to contact your own treatment providers. like the disclaimer at the bottom of every page explains we can not diagnose (in other words tell you what something is in you) nor treat your problems (in other words we cant recommend any specific treatments for you) |

I don't know if there is a specific term for what you describe. (Perhaps there are other PC members who will know.) What this sounds like to me is sort-of a combination of the experience of depersonalization / derealization & trauma-related flashbacks. I know you wrote you've done research on dissociation. So you're probably already pretty familiar with that. However here's a link to 1 article on depersonalization / derealization, from PC's archives, that (hopefully) may still be of interest along with links to 2 articles on the subject of flashbacks:
