No worries

Any chance you had a MRI or CAT scan lately? Have you talked to your Pdoc/GP about any of this?

No but I'm very sure this is a psychological issue

It would take a pro that knows your history to help DX you.
But, if I had to speculate...
I was just reading an article that said skitzophrenia doesn't have a certain gene but a combination of many that causes it, much like bipolar has, which makes it difficult to test for. It also has environmental factors based on studies of identical twins where one has the illness and the other has a 48% risk of it happening to them, much like diabetes activates from genetic and environmental factors.
What if....you are prone to dissociation and the other that presents is skitzophrenic? Far fetched? An other can have its own set of mental issues.

That's certainly a thought..

Dissociation is mostly a triggered response.

Hm. Most of these cases with the imagery were not directly triggered by anything but the last stronger one was triggered!

Have you been tested for dissociation? Did you suffer trauma or emotional/mental/physical/sexual abuse as a child, especially before the age of 5? Or an extended time period of traumatic abuse?
|
How do I test for it? Did you mean done by a psychiatrist?
No abuse in my history

This is my best guess. Please don't hate me.
Good luck.

Why would I hate you?! Thanks again for your post.
