Maybe you could use an app to sign in on your phone once an hour, then when you dissociate and return you could see how much time you lost. There are a lot of good alarm apps to help you remember.
I really envy that place of safety you've have been experiencing. It sounds wonderful to me.
Do you think if you weren't so isolated, maybe you'd have a firmer grasp of reality? Are there any places you could go to socialize, like church groups or other social centers? I know how bad isolation can be because I isolate myself entirely, except for the occasional texts from a relative and sometimes my one last friend. Lately, under this stress, I've been feeling closer to losing what little sanity I have left.
If there were some way to get prosthetic legs, could you eventually drive again? If you'd rather I didn't suggest things like that, please just tell me to stop.
I'm not sure still about the types of hallucinations you're having and delusions. I wonder if your doctor diagnosed schizoaffective because you also have depression? They seem to like to diagnose schizoaffective these days, I'm not sure why.
I hope the higher dose of Seroquel will help. Did you tell your doctor about losing time yet? Maybe they'd have suggestions to help. The only times I ever lost time was when I was young and a binge drinker, but then I'd just black out and couldn't remember anything past a certain point.

You're great and I don't know how to thank you. 200mg added to 400mg Seroquel so maybe that will help.
I'll have to look into DID... no, I didn't tell my doc about the time loss. I ordered a security system with 8 cameras that will be here tomorrow and a neighbor is going to install it Saturday morning. I want to be able to see what I'm doing during those periods of lost time.
My doc suggested that I ask a neighbor to call me twice daily, in the morning and evening. My house phone just isn't loud enough but my new iPhone screams.
I'm feeling flat right now and a bit physically uncoordinated. No, my amputations are too far up, stumps are too short, for prosthetics.
I think that this flat/numb feeling precedes something but I don't remember what. I'm going to use this as a marker because I'm beginning to feel less anxious and everything is slowing down.
I'm terribly isolated. For over a year now. My bedroom is blacked out because I need to be in darkness.
I need to go now as I'm getting rather clumsy and I'm slowing down too fast. You're always welcome to make any suggestions.
