> So some of you also experience dissociation, if you don't mind me asking how so? what do you do to handle it? do any of you have the DDNOS diagnosis as I do. I am also PTSD to throw that in the mix! Thanks for all of your help<<Hi sparkle,
Yea, I've been known to dissociate. I used to think I just forgot things frequently, and wondered when people would say I was with them at this place or that-- when I'd have NO recollection of it at all. kind of freaky!! then I got mad at myself for not remembering things as people would look at me with such confusion. :o( Now, after being in therapy for a while, I've been working on not getting mad at myself. I've figured out some things that cause the dissociation and have worked on that-- but-- there are still situations I haven't figured out yet.
I think PTSD goes hand in hand with dissociation. Trauma is usually the cause of dissociation-- especially while one is a child-- then the dissociaton carries on into adulthood.
so, what's your expereince with dissociation?flutterby-mandy
