Who experiences dissociation?
Hi forum friends
So I've commented elsewhere I have been diagnosised with Dissociative Identity Disorder. It's super confusing and I'm struggling to make sense of it and if it even really fits for me. I do agree I experience dissociation but I'm not sure about that kind. There are days/times where I feel there but not there, my body feels heavy and almost paralysed. I am very forgetful and don't remember a lot of my younger years but them sometimes I remember something so very clearly. I don't recall trauma although I know there are some things I would change about my parents I wouldn't call it abuse. I freeze in therapy. My body goes tense amd I feel stuck in my head. I can see although sometimes it's hazy, but can't move or talk. I know I have odd reactions to some things that don't make sense.
I wondered if others who experience any kinds of dissociation might feel ok to connect and share here? Partly because I'm trying to figure out how everything fits and make some sense, and also to offer some mutual support.
