I noticed these feelings start when I start feeling down. I also keep feeling down on and off. I'm also very forgetful. I'm still functioning and I have an 8 year old son and I make sure he gets everything he needs and that he is looked after. I am just finding these symptoms very distressing. Is it dissociation disorder? Will it ever go away? During these times, it's like I completely forget who I am and time seems to pass very quickly. I'm scared to go to my doctor in case I get hospitalised and my son needs me. I'm so scared. Will I feel like this forever? I don't know what to do. I feel completely alone and lost and like I'm going crazy sometimes. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

you ask in your post whether this is dissociative disorder...answer Im sorry but we can not make a diagnosis of your problems only your own doctors can do that.. will it ever go away? the good part of if this is dissociation problems is yes you can do things that will stop this...how well each person is different so each person has their own ways of grounding their self (self nurturing, caling, relaxing, focusing their awareness on their suroundings)
one thing I can tell you is that I know many people who go through depression (having sadness, inability to concentrate, memory problems, feeling disconnected.....dissociative like symptoms too) after getting a divorce/losing a loved one and medications help them. with no need to be hospitalized.
my suggestion contact a treatment provider who can help you feel better soon. here in the USA as long as you are not a danger to yourself or others its very hard to get hospitalized.
