that was the point of my post. you see when a person goes on a site like psych central which has members world wide, with each country going according to their own diagnostics, what they call a mental disorder, what they call a mental disorder symptom and they post a does this sound like dissociation question, they are going to find many people who have the same problems but their treatment providers call the problem by many different things depending upon each persons individual problem and their own culture, their own locations laws and diagnostics ....

let me give you an example...

your getting spaced out can be.... normal, ms (multiple Sclerosis) depression, bipolar disorder, a medication problem, sleep problem, stress, a vision quest, premonition, and many other normal, physical and mental health problems in me.

if you read the many posts through out this whole site you will find many people with this same problem with their own treatment providers calling the problem all different mental and physical and normal problems.

short version everything you posted will get many different replies saying it sound like any number of issues.

the only way you will know for sure what this sounds like and what it is, is by contacting your own treatment providers.

another point that wasnt in my posts is that since this is a mental health website one thing that concerns me when I see someone asking diagnostic type questions like "what does this sound like" "what is this called" can any one tell me what my problem is" kind of questions is that the person asking is asking people with delusions, psychosis, hallucinations, multiple personalities, suicidal, homicidal, people who are depressed, people who have phobias and yes people who have fictitious disorders (which by the way doesnt mean the problem doesnt exist, it just means the problem was either self caused or caused by another in their real time life)

my point is when someone asks the mentally ill to tell them what their problem may or may not be anything can happen even problems causing more harm then good. which is why there is a disclaimer at the bottom of every page saying nothing you read here is supposed to take the place of contacting ones own treatment provider.

now from a mentally disordered persons point of view yea this sounds like dissociation, it also .....sounds like.. psychotic delusions\halucinations, it also ......sounds like..... maybe a sleep problem, to me if I saw this question during a moment when my bipolar was not being managed I would also say it .....sounds like.....depression, hypo mania and mania.

my suggestion stands if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers who can tell you for sure what this sounds like and is with in you.
