Idk, I guess the only way I can describe it that at times I become the mind, and my mind becomes concious? I can't control anything, but I can watch it unfold..
Idk, makes me wonder if there is such a thing as a "split" personality, but it's not easy to do research on it because everything comes back DID - and this is just one aspect of my dissociation -sigh-
I do know BPD and DID can be mistaken for each other, but there are some similarities in the sense of splitting. I hope this makes sense doesn't sound like garbage!! ;-;

another suggestion ...when I dont recognize a persons name on here I go back and reread any of their past posts so that Im not confusing them with another member....which is where my suggestion comes in....
maybe you can read some of your past posts and that will help you to find out what is causing your depersonalization problems...for example I see you have a past history of alcohol...that can sometimes leave a person with many dissociation symptoms which is why drugs and alcohol are usually the first things that are ruled out when diagnosing dissociation problems. you might want to go through some tests to see if this has caused you any lingering/residual symptoms...especially if drinking alcoholic things are still a part of your life.
I also found a statement that said your treatment provider said the dissociation was from your BPD... thats great news because since its because of BPD the treatment for BPD will help/fix the dissociation problems.
medications can also cause a person to have dissociative like symptoms. maybe a suggestion to talk about your meds with your treatment provider. sometimes just tweeking meds can help a lot.
my suggestion continue going according to what ever your treatment providers are telling you to do and you will soon be feeling much better.
