About once a day I just catch myself lost looking at something, seeing nothing and having no thoughts. Kind of unnerving. Then I snap out of it and melancholy sets in. Then I snap out of that and get back to what I was doing. Anybody have this happen as well?

Yep, the first a couple of months out, that was me all the time. Just randomly staring at the wall or out of the window or on the floor. No thought in the brain, just a complete flat line for a minute or two. Then snap out of it. Never had this happen to me before.

Zoning out is also a form of disassociation. And PTSD. It is normal. I would say that depending on how often you do that and if it becomes limiting to your life and becomes intolerable you may want to consult with a psychiatrist who might prescribe some sort of short term medication. Good luck my friend!
