but i just thought maybe i could try to write a small bit of what goes on in my mind in what i think is a typical morning from period i wake up to few moments after or whatever... i cantt write everything for a whole day, plus i dont wanna write some of the thoughts
but i wanted to ask because i change point of views throughout the dialog.. and sometimes multiple times in 1 "statement" or whatever you would call a thought/train of thought? and it gets really weird sometimes...
also while im going through this kind of thing im not really focused on the world.. its when i feel the most dissociated... if i am infact experiencing dissociation :/ but if someone calls me or catches my attention its like everything gets silent and i am focused on whatever drew my attention?
atleast momentarily until i drift off - my most used sentance is probably "sorry, what?" and "mhmm"
i kind of thought these things were part of ADHD so... i dunno
this is just a few moments of dialog... from me waking up to getting out the bed pretty much
not wanting to prove anything or not but just wondering about if people think like that? i drive myself crazy sometimes, especially when i start getting negative...
i tried to space each line as one thought would be... like it pops up and then the next will come to and so forth... sometimes really fast :/
like it seems so fast that its like im saying it at the same time but that just confuses me
 sorry i type so much, im gonna take a chill pill, thanks for not yelling at me!

is this normal sorry cant say if its normal for you only your own treatment providers can say that.
what i can say is that for my wife and I (my wife does not have any dissociative disorders) it is normal for us.
for me its part of my bipolar mania cycle, depression, anxiety, OCD and many other non dissociative problems too.
for my wife its just the normal self talk that every human being does, part of having a brain that can reason \think on logical and non logical things.
I also know many people with and with out all kinds of physical, mental problems and normal for them self talk like this.
the best thing you can do is contact a treatment provider. trying to figure out /self diagnose can lead a person down the wrong road.
also you stated in other posts you have OCD. this kind of self talk in general is normal for people with OCD. your treatment providers (or one in your location) can tell you whether this is part of your existing diagnosis's.
