There are some days I feel completly schizoid some days I feel avoidant, and all days I feel disconnected with my self, my memories and my surroundings.
I am so used to this dissociative symptoms I have known them at least since 7 years old, probably early.
It is so abnormal not being able to carry a conversation because of social social anxiety and disconnection feelings. And this is my daily life struggle.

I have many things in common with this...looking for a savior is totally me, imagining others as a protective figure and wanting to assume a child like role.

Does some of you feel like you are alone in the world? Do you totally forget about the important people in your life, as they have never existed? Memories don't pop up easily, many do only when something similar happens or a key word is listened, and mostly fragmented memories. I have a huge difficulty in story telling (every story).

Hi Mulan,

I can relate to some of your dissociative symptoms. I cannot relate to some others you mention. What does this mean? Nothing.

PTSD/C-PTSD are very complicated diagnoses, with lots of nuances. I am not convinced we all experience this in the same ways, although we all may share some similarities.

Have you been able to obtain the opinion of a mental health professional?
I am concerned about your feeling better, which possibly a therapist might help?

Please take care!
