@mindwrench
thanks i enjoy these articles
there was a lot of bad stuff that happened...
i guess im just interested in reading, not writing about because i dunno what to say right now... not sure what i wanted to say when i wrote..
iunno..
my therapist said that i live in a high stress state... that my ANS is maxed out and its causing me to just be dissociative....
i know im doing it constantly... but i feel so left out in the dark, i just wanna know whats really happening so i can try not to be afraid... try to believe in hope, that things can get better.. but everything feels so vague and out of touch that im so confused and nothing is really making sense... and feels like its getting worse because i cant figure things out and fix it...
i just wanna be normal and happy... |
when i say sense of agency its a diagnostic criteria now in the USA. it isnt about how DID is created, it isnt about the differences between PTSD,OSDD and DID.
put simply sense of agency is things like how much control the alters and those reside with in have, what each alters job, purpose and reason for being created is, how much awareness there is for each individual alter and those they reside with in, that kinds of stuff.
here in my location Dissociation is the normal reaction (feeling spaced out, foggy minded, numb, disconnected (like an observer rather than a participant)....to a trigger (anything positive or negative that causes a person to feel their dissociative ...symptoms....
dissociation becomes DID when the severity of dissociative .....symptoms...... meet the diagnostic criteria for DID.
