I had to lay down because I was feeling as if I was going to faint and after talking to it the feeling passed within a couple of minutes and I as able to finish what my work. I have been to my doctors a few times over many years complaining about getting low blood sugar feeling for no good damn reason. I have been tested and I have no medical reason for it to be happeining.
I have not been diagnosed with DID just Complex PTSD and I have had issues in the past couple of weeks with more emotional flashbacks than usual because of some stressful life events.

I have had this happen for many reasons.... vertigo, anxiety/ stress and one of my DID alters.
tip... if this is a dissociative part you can solve this problem with a bit of work.
Every dissociative part (my locations wording alter) has their own sense of agency (job, purpose, reason why they have been created, how much control they have, triggers that cause them to take control, ... and much more)
Dissociative parts (my locations wording alters) dont come into being out of the blue as adults, they begin in very early childhood before the bodies age of 5 when the brain has certain pathways still available for creating them. (for more on this you can take classes on the brain or talk with your treatment providers or do online researching about the brain and its functions)
Since dissociative parts are there since very early childhood the associated problems have been happening all my life not just in the present.
Taking these two concepts together my treatment provider and I understood to solve this problem all I needed to do was look back on my life to other times when I have felt this way. this enabled us to discover what the present day trigger was for activating that part to take control. Fix the trigger and that part no longer caused any problems, fixing the trigger made it so that I no longer switched into that part which in turn caused that part to become one with me again as one whole personality again.
the trigger for this alter in me was stress. we fixed this by doing stress relief activities like taking a walk, rowing my canoe, coloring, drawing, painting, listening to audio books and relaxation tapes.
my suggestion continue to work with your treatment provider they will help you to discover what the trigger is for you to be having your dissociation symptoms at work and help you to not feel like this any more.
