Dissociative disorders – causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

got diagnosed few years ago alongside with ASD.
It explained so much through out my life and it made me finally feel like was not crazy.
Sadly because its invisible people at the work place dont take it seriously or dont understand.
which makes it still a daily struggle for me till this day.
I am piloting a mech made of flesh and still trying to figure out the controls…

They told me I am schizophrenic. One women spilled drugs in my eye and nose and I lost hearing, after eye surgery they put naked men on my couch. I ended in psychiatric ward. They robbed me, neighbor kicked me down the stairs, doctor refused to treat me, when I spent 12 thousand euro for treatment ambulance came and locked me in psychiatric ward in room with camera and force me to take pills against my will. I am not mentally ill. As a Nanny I slept in cellar when second nanny let sleep baby at toilet, is she normal? During Covid my headmaster sat home and let colleague with Covid to teach there, is she normal? They have blocked my bank account nearly for one year, I have to pay fines when my neighbor kicked me down the stairs, if you don't pay they will take your flat, is it normal? Is is normal that our Office clerk can't speak English to sort out my stolen clothes, luggage, shoes? Real situation in Tábor, the Czech republic. I had to clean toilets with university degree as a job, single mom who never worked eating in restaurant and cakes. I am three years without income and I can't have benefits because I am not owener of flat. I lived in six countries, not smoking, I am not alcoholic, I don't steal, I am not on drugs, I don't have debts, never ruined anyone's health. Is it right just to lock person in room with camera and treat him like animal? Force him to take pills against his will block him bank account and leave him without income? When I needed doctor because of back pain he just send me home in pain…I had to pay even for ambulance, everyone has doctor for free in my country

Everyone commenting on this issue are saying how they've felt this way before, but for me it's all about the people who have been around me my whole life.
Tio much dissociation and i never could understand what's going on😅

Ah, so that's what is wrong with me. Now I get it. Basically, I'm boned.

I disassociated from a traumatic experience for 10 years which didn't just had a long term effect on myself but others people accuse me of not speaking up and I honestly blocked it out after the event became public by the other people effected the whole event plays constantly on repeat in my head with people believing I was lying about not remembering.I normally have such a good memory as well

"Trouble forming relationships" Could technically describe any male(and some females) with mental illness, that isn't good looking. Our society is very vanity driven, so anyone that knows how to make use of their good looks can bypass actual relationship forming obstacles. That's why so many people are depressed and lonely, then just wake up one day, start going for walks and going to the gym, then their life is perfect and they start making inspiring youtube videos about how going to the gym saved their life and how all our self doubt is just in our heads.. Being born good looking saved their lives, they just learned how to exploit it for success and financial gain. BTW, two of these things, "feeling that the world around you is not real, and feeling of detatchment from oneself; I've always felt both of those. As a matter of fact, I think I've felt everything at 2:54, though familiar things I do recognize, and emotionally/physically numb has only been in the last 2-3 years, and I think that might be more due to logic+depression+prolonged sedentary lifestyle.

And although I have nothing that would fall under the category of disassociative amnesia, I have definitely had extreme memory issues throughout my life. Well, somewhere between extreme to severe.. I don't wipe them(memories) from my mind like amnesia, but I'll go several days/weeks/months without even thinking about important things, like events, meetings, people, or things I needed to get done. My entire life I've had people yelling in my face "why didn't you remember that", or even "why did you do that.." and a lot of the time, my answer is just "I don't know..". It can be very stressful sometimes.. almost like having low-level dementia.. But, for my entire life. As a young child, I specifically remember not being able to remember my age for the first several years of my life "Did I have another birthday.. How old am I.."(I thought to myself). I remember because of people's reaction when I kept asking how old I was(Like, my mother's boyfriend at the time). I also could never remember my phone number as a child (this was much more odd before smartphones), and also could never remember my SIN number..

I've been diagnosed with autism officially, but the more I dig into this, the more I am sure that this is what I have, it just fills in so many plotholes in my life. Especially my perception of time and of the world, and my ways of thinking that I've had since I was a very young child.

I want to make it clear, that this isn't one of those "I have it cuz I feel like I have it, so I'm investing all my bias into that opinion" type things. I fully understand that mental disorders/illnesses are not 'trends' to jump on board or 'fit in'. I do a lot of research into things that are important before I even say such things in random youtube comment sections. Truthfully, I've been trying to get it diagnosed, if you can call it 'trying'. The nature of this disorder also makes it very difficult to get diagnosed, as it avoids being diagnosed. And the current state of the Canadian health care system doesn't help (Yes, I know it's worse in America, or maybe it's slightly better but you have to pay, in any case..). I mean, it takes months just to get an appointment with a psychiatrist, which I've gotta do through my Dr, which is so busy off her ass, that we barely manage to have appointments at all, and it's all very rushed and I'm in, I'm out, and I try to socialize what little I can, cuz I don't get much of that (In a human sense) as it is. But by the time I walk out, I realise that the psychiatrist appointment was never made, or even talked about, or if it was made, she didn't tell me.

And I have great social anxiety, so making phone calls is something I don't typically do either.. So, months go by and we repeat the above, time and time again. It's already been several months since I told her I possibly(probably) have this.. I don't doubt it'll reach a full year before I actually get an appointment with the psychiatrist, which barely works at that clinic anyways, since he's stretched between several.. Then, who knows if I'll remember to show, or if I'll briefly think about it around the date, then not think about it again for several months later.. I'm already 45(in Oct.), and I'm male, and I'm autistic and/or this, and I live off low income foods and junk food and chocolate, and sedentary (mostly only leave my apartment bedroom for groceries). So, I'll be lucky to live another 20 years, and that might even be stretching it unless something improves.

This was simple and easy to follow. We have DID and was impressed.

i can’t remember much about my mom, my ex, or my kids childhood. i just continue on and on doing what i have to do but if i try to remember i kinda can’t most times.

This video helped me and my partner realize they had DID two years ago. It was so scary to find out then but it was good we learned ab it

Dissociation sucks. I am over it really. 7 months in .

Watched this video when it came out. Dxed with DpDr. Now- we found the best therapist and have found out we’re a did system.
