Oh, CE, I am so sorry that happened to you! That's so awful. I feel angry and sad thinking about it. Super virtual hugs to you. :-/
So disassociation is, maybe, it seems to me, to be a normal function that goes too far past the beneficial stage? I know that in working through my own recovery with both meds & therapy, I recalled some very bad, violent incidents that I didn't 'feel'. I just kept on going w/o realizing that they were still very alive inside me :( Things are getting much better now.
Thanks for the explanation, CE. A few weeks ago I asked my pdoc if I was disassociative, and he adamantly said no. So I believe him. We've worked together for three years. He 'changed' my dx from BPnos to c-ptsd. Some people might say so what? But for me it meant coming into a greater awareness of 'what happened' to me, and how events and circumstances affected me. The fuller
awareness was and can be incredibly painful, but it is better than before when I felt I was shadow boxing non-stop and blaming myself for 'everything'.I recall your posts about not liking psychiatry. I don't blame you. Who 'likes' it? I would like you to have a good therapeutic alliance--it can be helpful, and it doesn't need to be a shrink. How
do you feel about that? I want you to do well. Anyone who has taken some hits in life deserves some good-enough living.fb
