here in my location time loss means there is a gap in memory and that it seems later than perceived. example sometimes when I am under stress I look at the time, notice it is noon then the next time I look at the clock it is 4 pm (later than I think it should be, because Im thinking it should be 12:30. so what happened between 1230 and 4 that I can not remember)

4:00 the same day, or 4:00 several days later?
What I'm suggesting is that I may have skipped nearly a week, not realizing it until I checked the day wondering why things weren't going as expected.
When I read this article I thought it fit. Holly Gray (healthyplace.com losing time: the insidious nature of dissociative amnesia) thought something had occurred more recently than it actually had. She didn't realize she'd skipped several days until she reviewed the timeline with her partner.

one more thing something in your other post jumped out at me...you stated what you felt was depersonalization felt supernatural and ripped out of the space time continium... one thing you need to know about dissociative symptoms is that one of the distinguishing features is that they are different than psychosis symptoms.... in that reality testing remains intact... my point is ...
if you were here in my location discribing something as supernatural and ripped out of the space time continum would be a psychosis symptom not a dissociative symptom.

I do have my doubts about the psychosis dx. I don't hallucinate.
They never did give a psychological evaluation from what I can tell. That dx was made by the inpatient psychiatrist whom I spoke with for less than 30 minutes total. My family was surprised by the diagnosis too.
I think I recieved that dx because I described facial recognition being overactive to the point that I was mentalizing on lifeless photographs. It was automatic. I still knew they were just photographs, but I couldn't control it.
The depersonalization referred to the childhood actions which were involuntary and out of my control.
AlwaysChanging2, the admission went swell. I was there for four days after an ER visit. I would go into detail if it weren't a rules violation. Basically I did more damage than I intended because there was no pain.
Most of the people there didn't seem crazy to me, but they most likely weren't telling everything in the groups.
