breath and relax. try not to make it harder than it is or read more into the questions then what the questions are....

normal people, people with depression, people with bipolar, people with all kinds of problems even dissociatives know whether or not they have trouble remembering things.....

example can you remember what you had for breakfast this morning? sometimes yes sometimes no, guess what... thats normal forgetfulness, but on the other hand it could be a mental or physical problem...depending on....other accompanying symptoms....

there are all kinds of dissociative questionaires that look at many different types of dissociation symptoms and dissociative type memory problems....

but over all they are meant to be taken /answered as fast as you can or in other words with out the test taker self analyzing/over analyzing the questions. kind of like theres a therapy technique called word association where one person says a word and the other person says the first word that pops into their minds...

test taking for mental disorders is like that you just answer the questions with the first thing that comes to mind.. if you have suicidal thoughts then mark yes, if you dont mark no, if you sometimes forget your keys mark yes if you dont sometimes forget your keys mark no, if you when some one is talking to you then afterwards you dont remember what they said then mark yes if this doesnt happen to you mark no. if you wake up places and dont remember how you got there mark yes if you wake up and remember how you got there mark no (these are not actual questions on any dissociative tests we use at the crisis center but can be found online in outdated no longer used versions of dissociation tests. but they will give you an idea of what to do. its a test about you and you know you the best so just fill it in as fast as you can without interpretting and worry about what the results are going to be. )

even the worst dissociation problems people do know when they have forgotten something. they may not know what that something is but they know theres a small or large chunk of time where something happened that they can not remember. just how the brain normally works and even more so with people of all kinds of mental or physical problems.
