Dear Saxon,

I would never attempt to tell you what type of dissociative problems you have. But Phoboxyl's oversimplified Googled terminology is not medically correct or accurate. May I suggest you look at Nami's definition, the National Institute of Mental Health, or a wonderful article hear on PC by a Dr. Steinberg, an expert on dissociative disorders, with a lengthy and detailed explanation of the continuum of dissociative disorders from very mild to dissociative fugue or DID which may be due to stress but most often are trauma related.

They have specific characteristics and symptoms that might or might not relate to you and the information you collect and take to your doctor might help in your diagnosis. Journals can also be very helpful. I believe that there are only 5 formally recognized classifications right now, but others are being considered for the next DMV as I understand it.

I do not claim to be an expert in any way and am on a learning curve myself. I believe strongly that only a professional should make any diagnosis of your symptoms and the best treatment tailored for your symptoms, diagnosis and difficulties.

Good luck in your healing process and in learning to deal with your symptoms..

Most Respectfully,
Wysteria Blue
