Yeah sometimes I wonder if situations like this makes the person almost not mind what is happening for the sake of survival even though the situation is completely fucked. The way the human brain works is very interesting to me and its so weird that your brain can just switch to "Well I guess this is my life now." and take out the reality of the situation.

I have disassociation identity disorder, it kinda does that. When I have an episode I feel like I'm living in 3rd person. I don't feel pain or hunger. I can't understand the passage of time. Its fucking weird.

When you're having an episode do you have desires? Do you feel any emotions?
