Dissociative subtype of PTSD

That's good. If I skip a dose of my mood stabilizer I feel weird so I make sure I don't do that.

I'm not real good on taking meds on a consistent basis so my body is not surprised when it happens. I am trying to wean off the Fentynal, bad with drawals with it though.

Ah never taken a pain reliever long term. I'm taking a mood stabilizer that you can not stop taking abruptly are you might have a seizure. It's actually an anti-epileptic that's also prescribed for bipolar 2 but it's used off label for complex PTSD. I am very thankful for it.

If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have started it. That reminds me I made some ice packs tonight and I need to check them. I make the slushy ones so the cubes don't make pressure spots. Guess I better go for the night. 2:30 a.m. here.

11:44pm here. Watched a really creepy show on Netflix, stranger things, and I'm still creeped out.

So very true

This thread has fascinated me because I've finally learnt what it is I have. I had no words before. I couldn't bring myself to broach the subject in therapy because I hate crying, but I did write to me T afterwards and got a very touching reply. She is on holiday next week and our session when she returns should be interesting. Thank you to everyone who has posted, it's been so helpful.

Ahhh thank you, so glad you could use this information to help you. I wish you well with your meeting with your T.

Hi Trace, Just "catching up!" Another great thread!

Thanks You never know when discussing something will help someone. There's a lot of valuable information here from people's experiences and general knowledge. It's always been helpful for me to read personal experiences to better understand my own

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know I have this subtype which my therapist and psychiatrist never heard about until I did research and found it it explains my dissociations which the worst one last over 3 hours I don't drive but ended up 9 miles across town talking to a lady idk when I came to most times there just a few min to 15 min in length and realize I'm doing it but happens as many as 20-30 times a day I just got out of inpatient psychiatric care and they took me off all my meds and haven't been able to get to my psychiatrist yet to get back on meds and I'm on the edge of breaking and just don't care anymore also why did my mind hide my trauma for over 25 years until it manifested it made me lose everything my home job fiance a year ago I was homeless on the streets I'm barely getting things back together but I honestly don't care what happens to me or where i am I actually enjoy the dissociations it's an escape how messed up am ?

I would call 911 and get to the hospital ASAP. If you are off your meds and feel you are in crisis get help. The hospital can at least get you back on your meds temporarily. Or give you something to treat your symptoms. Other than that I have no suggestions. This was just an interesting article about something I had never heard about. So please call and get some help. You deserve to take care of yourself.
