Hi I've read all of the post and sticky s at the top of this forum regarding dissociative disorders and I'm still confused,I'm not a person who lacks common sense or simple terms but I find there are a lot of medical and technical jargon I don't understand.
The situation I have is that I experience two kinds of what I find strange,the first I thought was linked to my epilepsy where upon I can stare for long periods of time and when someone speaks to me I don't know they have done until the staring ends.
Secondly some days I feel I'm just miles away and I think of all sorts of things,almost like a daydream that I fee lasts only a short while but when I look at the clock it can be that I've been doing it for an hour or so.
It could be something connected to epilepsy but I also have real bad multiple mental and physical disabilities so I'm unsure.
I've checked many sites for a simple explanation of these experiences or dissociative disorders and its all medical jargon with suggestions of childhood abuse or other horrific events,I had a good childhood.
The only real bad thing that happened to me was finding out my baby was a tumour (hydatitiform molar pregnancy) back in 1995 is this a case of PTSD? My psychiatrist mentioned it in my last appointment.
I'm so confused can anyone help me out please or try to explain some of it without the technical/medical jargon?
Any replies will be gratefully received
Take care JK
