First, while exercising Monday afternoon I had the sensation that I had somehow flipped a coin internally and part of me had won the toss, but not all. It was as if I had two minds then: one jubilant; one despondent. This conflicting experience has continued through to today, though diminishing.
Second, yesterday I felt I had left some part of myself behind. It was as if I had set down and then forgotten my arm. I don't know what, if anything, I had truly forgotten, but again, this continues today to a lesser degree. Now I ask your perspective on these. Is this something I should let my doc know of? or ignore it as best I can?

It sounds like some sort of depersonalization/dissociation. Look it up. It's probably not serious, but I would talk to my pdoc and T about it. You still are aware of reality when it happens, right? No symptoms of psychosis?
I am starting to wonder if I'm starting to have some depersonalization myself with some of the physical symptoms I have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You describe the experiences so lyrically, it makes it even more of a mystery. As for the first, maybe you are conflicted about something, something that makes you despondent as well as jubilant at the same time? (Or maybe they are separate things?). It does sound like a strong, urgent, very internal sensation, though, and sounds really uncomfortable. I'd mention it to T and pdoc and maybe just try to figure out what's behind it, maybe then it'll be less distressing. Good luck, Vertigo!

i can relate to the jubilant/despondent experience and sensation. it's almost like my body is fighting with itself to choose which one it wants, then i'm suck with a mix of both or a spurt of energy and then a spurt of exhaustion....frustrating and also just very strange!!!
otherwise, does sound like perhaps some dissociation? probably worth mentioning to doc, can't imagine it would hurt. hope this clears up or becomes less frequent.
