Dissociative Behaviour

AnneMargaret

Has anyone else heard or know anything about Dissociative disorder? I was told i had it when i was assessed by my professor for Autism. But that was it. Nothing else was said. Until i recently talked about it with another autistic friend and my GP.

I really struggle with it. It's so scary and i get so panicky because of it.

I'm finding times hard at the minute for a few reasons. (We are still waiting to hear from a social worker :( To discuss if i am able to get funding for any autism groups/activites. And we are currently attempting to fill in Incapacity form - as it used to be called.)

Just struggling because of things at the minute. Feeling lonely and tired.

Sorry to be a moaner.

This dissociative stuff is horrible though.

  • I'm fine, thank you, Anne

    I hope your visit to the doctor goes well today.  Keep your chin up.

     

  • Hello Patiens.

    Yes it is how i feel at the minute unfortunately.

    How are you?

    I went back to my MIND support group today for the first time in 8weeks. But i had a friend with me so i felt supported a little better. I was very anxious and still am but have ran out of my diazepam. I only have a few every now and then for when i am struggling. I've not taken one for month or two but now need one but luckily have doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. :)

    Thank you for your kind words. Hope i say some nice things to others on here sometime too.

    Hello AnneMargaret

    Does this last paragraph describe how you feel?  I'm sorry you're feeling lonely - there's an awful lot of loneliness around, I know - and I've read some of your other recent posts which show that you're having a hard time.

    Perhaps, if you feel like it, you could describe in more detail how this affects you?  I can't promise to do anything more than 'listen' (read Smile), but I will at least try to do that.

    Warmest best wishes to you,

     

  • I have had this. I also had severe depression at the time. Very scary.

  • You're best to either google it or look on the Mind website but basically it is when you don't feel "real". And find yourself in a situation or with someone that you don't truly feel a part of. You feel detached and sometimes like you are watching yourself go through the motions without feeling like you are actually there.
