Hello all. I have recently been diagnosed with dissociative disorder NOS. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around what the diagnosis actually means. I cannot really remember much of anything before the age of 10 years old. If I can recall something it is very fragmented and fuzzy, like an out of focus photo. My father died a few weeks after my 10th birthday 13 years ago. I can only recall events that happened after his death. I am working very hard in therapy on trying to recover those memories and to work with the core issues and beliefs that lead me to dissociate. I am looking for insight on this disorder and recovery from it. I am currently in a residential treatment facility and am about to transition onto the next level where I will have more independence, freedom, and responsiblity. I am wondering how you all experience this disorder, what you work on in therapy, any medications that could help, and if any of you experience hearing "voices" (for lack of a better word) in your head that are not auditory hallucinations but more like thoughts that are imported into your head that are not part of you. Like a constant critical dialouge or commentary that you cannot control or turn off. Does any of that make sense? Just wondering if there are others out there that experience this and how they deal with the voices. Thanks
Sarah
