derealiztion - I can be in the car while with family and I feel like I am in some kinda of bubble that surrounds the car from the outside. I can see and recognize things outside but yet the don't seem real, kind like looking through those 3-d glasses when I was a child.

dissociative amenisa - I have the hardest time trying to remember a period of my childhood that involved my father, we were so close as little but after fifth grade I can't remember. I do remember after eighth grade. There are also parts of my early twenties till just recent that I can't remember but parts and pieces.

I also had episodes like elizabethmarie of going through changes from acting like a child, then very calm and collected to losing control of myself. This is also kinda a blurr I mostly remember the child and losing control. I also remember I did not want to be touched by anyone in this state.

Any help would be appreciated. I am just now accepting I am schizoaffective with BP I. Is this maybe part of it or different. I just want info as to where to go.
yes these things you are experiencing can be part of schizoaffective and with BP. having dissociative symptoms like this is not exclusive to dissociative disorders. So talk with your treatment providers. they will explain how your symptoms fit in with how and why they diagnosed you the way they did.

Thanks for this!
