I just post this thread here since the sanity test shows I'm having most of dissociative disorder.

When I was in my home country, my parents barely let me out of the house. They kept me constantly at home because they believe it was too dangerous outside. At the age of 17 now, they are scared that I couldn't take care of myself in college. And its kinda true, I'm very shy and couldn't take conscious of my surroundings. I forget easily to a point that I'm surprised how I could ace my tests. Everyday, my parents scowl me for:
1- speaking like an idiot/retard
2- failure in listening(if a person talked to me in a crowd, i would either forget/couldn't hear it while the others do)
3- unable to notice surroundings(i almost got into a car accident once when i was young just because i didn't look at both sides of the road)

I'm sick of my parents and my sisters scowling me everyday because of this, I feel more vulnerable and more like a patient/retard rather than a normal person.

Is this really dissociative?

Bringiton,

You sound so completely frustrated and hurt. No one should be scowling at you or calling you names. You are normal for you and if you aced tests you must have your wits about you.

We have several friends who are developmentally delayed (old word called retarded) and what you describe does not sound like them at all. They are aware and loving and tender and just wonderful people as I am sure you are.

Please be gentle with yourself and know that there is help for dissociation. Please keep reading around PC and writing your concerns.

Take care

.

could be yes could be no. we cant tell you here for sure if your problems are dissociation only doctors and psychiatrists can do that.

if it was me I would first talk to a medical doctor and go through any tests for medical things that could be causing this like brain problems (neurological problems) if you are on any medication that can sometimes cause these kinds of problems too.

I would also schedule a speech and hearing evaluation with an audiologist because hearing problems cause these same kinds of things that you posted about.

then I would go have a psychological testing with a psychiatrist because people with learning disorders have these kinds of problems too. and people with other mental disorders besides dissociation have these kinds of problems sometimes.

if you do all that then the doctors will be able to tell you if whats happening to you is dissociation or not.

Since you have not responded it is worriesome that you may be feeling overwhelmed at the list of things Amandalouise has set for you to do.

The concern is that it is difficult to discern whether or not you have been verbally/emotionally abused by your family or if you still are being abused that way. Getting on the merry-go-round of tests for this or that will in no way help with these kinds of things unless the drs are very intuative and see that you are being hurt.

Please let us know how you are doing?
