wanted to add....
this is in response to your statement that
"I actually need an explanation for what I'm trying to say n what my own experience is/was"

your doctor is going to want to know what parts of your life is affected (dissociation is something that does not happen just in one part of a persons life, )

your doctor is going to what to know why you dissociated when you dissociated (what triggered it to happen, how and when, what were you doing what were you saying who were you with.... all kinds of stuff goes into diagnosing whether this is dissociation or other medical or mental problems)

example I could tell my doctor that I dissociated when I was brushing my teeth. the doctor will want to know how I was brushing, when I was brushing whether this or that happened when I was brushing. what I was thinking about before I dissociated. was I feeling this physically or that physically, did I take any meds, drugs or alcohol., was I eating correctly (many people with eating disorders like I have had sometimes have dissociative like symptoms that are actually because of not eating correctly, do I have a good sleep routine (sleep deprivation can cause these same problems....)

see what I mean... your doctor isnt going to want our words for how you are feeling you will need to use your own words based on what is actually happening in you...not our words.

Tip....I see that you have posted many times here on psych central in many forums, you have done a great job in them telling about yourself and what goes on inside you. maybe you can check in your posts to see if there is anything in there that can help you to clearly tell your doctors what is happening to you.

since you are able to write posts here clearly maybe sitting down and writing to your doctors will help you to clearly tell them what is going on in you.
