I was recently diagnosed as schizophrenic... Among all the questions flooding my mind is this concept of dissociation. I know I will sound like an idiot, but curently I'm not on meds or seeing a doc and I was wondering... Is "losing time" or "getting confused" a form of dissociation in SZ? Sometimes when I get stressed or don't take meds I can't account for large amounts of time. Close friends claim I just "zone out." Any advice or opinion would be of great help.
