Possible trigger:


Well, that went away, but I have other things going on I can’t really explain to people. Like I have these moments where, I can’t remember anything of my past, and I go blank. And like, how did I get here moments I get at times, like I don’t know how I got here or where am I.
I have trouble knowing the difference between feelings and thoughts.
I have had this happen a few weeks ago. I was in the kitchen cooking and

And that literally freaked me out and I didn’t know what to think. And I really know feel like myself like, I go from crying to no reason, to angry, and then laughing in an hour. It is not everyday though. Anyone insight or recommendations would be appreciated. I am wanting to get back into therapy just working up the courage to do it.
welcome.... I see by other posts you have a diagnosis of BPD my suggestion is just go according to what your own treatment providers are telling you and how they are treating your problems. they are the ones that are qualified to treat your problems..

here at psych central we can not diagnose or speculate on what another persons problems are and make recommendations other than following what the disclaimer at the bottom of the page states (contact your own treatment providers)

what we can do is tell you what things are in our selves and how we solved that problem in ourselves....

when I was feeling like someone was watching me my treatment providers called this psychosis they ruled this out as a dissociative problem because of the dissociative disorders do not have a diagnostic criteria of feeling someone is behind or next to me watching, and the other accompanying symptoms listing also did not include feeling like someone was watching me. but on the psychosis listing there is this symptom so they ruled this was psychosis in me and made some medication changes. soon I was not feeling like someone was watching me any more.

hearing voices can be many different mental disorders in me, it comes with my physical health problem called MS, it comes with my Acute Stress Disorder, it comes with my Bipolar disorder, with my daughter it comes with her physical health problems as with my wife. it also comes with my problem called sleep deprivation. it does not come with any of my dissociative problems that I am presently diagnosed with. in fact its not necessary to hear voices with any dissociative disorders. (I have been diagnosed with many over the past 30 some odd years and each time I disclosed hearing voices the diagnosis for this symptom in me turned out to not be a dissociative thing and medications solved the problem)

just keep following your doctors, therapists and so on. and if because of the move you havent got one yet contact your treatment providers at your old address they can help you get set up with new treatment providers in your new location.
