Anyway, they changed my diagnoses. I know I should look inside and see if those are somehow correct but I don't have that kind of insight in my own behaviour. I try but I cannot see myself from the outside.
My current diagnoses are
F44.89 Other dissociative disorder
F941 Reactive attachment disorder
I had no idea an adult can be diagnosed with RAD, but they say it explains both the schizoid traits and the ADHD traits, that it makes people not care so much about others and act impulsive. Fine. I can live with that.
I don't so much like the dissociation stuff. I look at others with dissociation and they have a different childhood and also very different symptoms. I have found about none which has my stuff. It doesn't follow how others experience dissociation. I have never been anyone but myself. I have not zoned out or looked at my situation from afar or felt numb about it. Isn't that what dissociation is? Feeling numb and distant?

glad you have your mental disorders sorted out. by the way did they tell you which of the other dissociative disorders you have. example I have the other dissociative disorder called macropsia. its wrote on my file as ...
300.15/F44.89 Other Specified Dissociative disorder - Macropsia.
the other dissociative disorders come with a list of mental disorders that treatment providers have. when they diagnose any "Other" disorders they have to tell you which one of the other disorders you have.
my point if you dont know yet which one of the "other" dissociative disorders you have it may help you to know what that is. knowing what my "othe" dissociative disorder is has helped me to understand myself my problems and why I was diagnosed with what I have.
its not necessary that you know what your "other" dissociative disorder is, its more a personal choice and here in the states (USA) treatment providers are required to disclose to you, this info when they are diagnosing someone.
