I have Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar type along with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with Dissociative Features and other anxiety problems. The Dissociative Features are not the same thing as Dissociative Identity Disorder formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. The dissociative features cause my mind to try to go somewhere else because it can't cope with what happened.

I understand being nervous with a new diagnosis. And hallucinations can be hearing things, seeing things, feeling things, or even smelling things that are not there. Am I understanding you correctly that you feel things that are not there?

Also, you don't have to have full-blown schizophrenia with schizoaffective disorder but prominent elements.

Welcome to the forums. You seem like a strong person.
