And there are often times that I suddenly wake up feeling very hungover but without the headache and the day before or hours before or sometimes days before is very blurry and hard to remember, not completely forgotten but vague. It really really is like I had been drinking copious amounts of alcohol though I didn't. And after those episodes I feel very mentally exhausted. Other times it's like watching a movie being fast forwarded and everything is speeded up and it's a horrible feeling I've experienced since I was a child after being very feverish one time. That doesn't happen a lot however and it's been months since it happened. And it usually only lasts for minutes to an hour maybe. Thanks again!

If you are having experiences like that. I would see a medical specialist. Even get a couple of opinions. Of course not telling each one of them about the other. I would get a clean diagnosis without other influences of your history with psychologist. It could be a medical issue. Many Psychologist play doctor and will not relate a lot of issues to medical. Even if the have a Dr. degree.
Sadly the DSM4&5 have a lot of false perceptions about what things are. Their only statistics by society. There are to many of them out there not even very skilled in their own practice.
This is why there are so many wrong diagnosis. Many people dealing with past traumas do not get the proper help needed. As they are diagnosed with many other things besides TRAUMA related.
The thing is...in the DSM there are many vague explanations for things and not detailed. Many faded lines with little distinction.
I find many are diagnosing people with psychosis. If they simply have experiences or beliefs beyond their own of what they experienced.
Before the DSM5 Psychosis was claimed of not having a valid scientific claim to what it is. Even the DSM says this.
... but there has to be an obvious distinction.
Just listening to you write and ask...YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING FROM PSYCHOSIS! If they insist you are...you need to seek out someone who understands this.
They will claim anything they think is false about you, or you think in a false way of common delusional beliefs many of them will label you as psychotic.
There has to be a complete evaluation of a long period of time of things that are distinctly NOT REAL!
..ot only by false perceptions. Which we all can have for one thing or another.
