Dissoziation vs. Psychosis

Post Reply New Topic

I have propably Bipolar II and fullfill many symptoms in StPD and ASD. Also my half brother had schizophrenia.

But I also had a trauma 2 1/2 years ago, so both is possible.

Right now my head is "cloudy", I also had this yesterday evening. I also had this problem last year, last summer and after some days or weeks (I don't remember right now) it went away by itself and I was still kind of aware about my situation.
I can still kind of think clear, but not totally. I also have slight motorical problems to it, I drop things more easily.
I sometimes feel like someone could watch me, but noone is there and I'm still aware of it, that it's just my thoughts.
I feel like I'm not really in toutch of the reality anymore, but I'm still trying to be aware of the situation and I've problems writing that, to concentrate.

I'm not sure what it is.
I first can go to my psychiatrist in three weeks.

Can someone help me?
What do I have?
How do I find out?

Really do not know, and it sound complicated. Are you in pain? You should see someone.

On a side note love the signature.

I think dissociation and psychosis are related. I suffered from dissociation for a long time and can relate to your description of how you feel. It's good you're going to your doctor, in the meantime, just try to relax and not be afraid of the experience. It won't last forever.

No I have no pain and my situation at the moment is a bit complicated.
I'm Transgender and my name change is going on at the moment and I NEED to stay healthy (no matter what) for at least the next two weeks. I'm under extreme pressure since at least december.

I got all my paperwork done in december and I had the flue, a friend of mine died in january and I had my top surgery in february and I just found out that I have my appointment because of my name change in april and I'm on vacation for a fiew days from april 6. to april 9. with my mom.

And now I have extreme trouble focusing and stuff.
I'm having wired thoughts and see strange connections.



Thanks



How far?

Well, I'm no expert, but from my own experiences psychosis was dissociation to the extreme - a feeling of disconnectedness from myself and from the world - a blurring of reality and unreality - feeling alienated and paranoid.
I still feel a sense of otherness all the time, but not so much that I can't function.

I'm not sure.
So far I understand, there are some connections, but they are still something different.

But I thought on something.
I had some minor med changes on the beginning of this week. Maybe this could be the reason.
So if it's really that, it should be over soon, because I had the old combination already once and then it would be "just" an adjustment problem. At least I hope so, it's that...!
