The difficulty with this, is the fact that people with epilepsy can have seizures and also dissociate in emotionally stressful times. My personal experiences is that seizures usually hit right as I'm coming down from the stress.
Anyway...dissociation with BPD is very common!  |
Bleedingangel- I can relate to the loss of time/memory. It happens all the time to me. I'd be lost without my planner I keep with me.
Shezbut, would you happen to recall what the book was called? I have similar experiences, and also have epilepsy. But was just dx as BPD last week, so my quest for resources and information is in full swing.
