You need to be somewhere else for a while. That is the full situation. Somewhere that doesn't require your presence, that asks nothing, that gives you the low warmth of another world to be in without the tax of your own. The dissociation is not a problem to be solved. It is a reasonable response to something unreasonable, and you are allowed to manage it this way for now. These films are built for exactly this. They will be there and so will you and nothing more will be required of either of you.
