So last night, I made a video recording on my laptop of myself having a conversation with the other part of me, the voice in my head I keep hearing -- not an alter -- more an aspect of myself surfacing.

I have had time loss in the past in dissociative episodes. And as I mentioned in another thread, I blacked out while riding my bike yesterday and crashed. Well, I don't think I blacked out all the way, but I momentarily lost motor control. I'll come back to this in a minute.

So I made the video, and I left my laptop on and plugged in all night and all through today until tonight. And I realized I needed to save it. I had been chatting in the forums for a while, and I do recall putting my head on my desk for just a minute. And then I got distracted and went to do something. The important thing is that I am CERTAIN that I did not save the file, much less name it.

When I came back to it a while later and hit save, the file had already been saved and named...and not necessarily a name I would have given it. WTF.

About the bike crash. The aspect of my personality that I had been "communicating" with was 5 years old. I am coming to believe that she was trying to take physical control while I was riding the bike and that's why we crashed.

Or I'm just totally crazy and f'd up out of my mind.

But I don't remember the few seconds leading up to crashing, and I am an extremely experienced cyclist.

I know I didn't save that file. And I know I don't just suddenly lose all balance and motor control and run into curbs on my bike.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Hearing voices.

I called my pdoc yesterday and asked for him to call me urgently when he gets in on Monday. I hope this is just a side effect from new drugs and it's just like hallucinations or something.

Does anyone have experience with this?

You did the right thing as far as calling your doc. Many others are experiencing what you are going through. You are not alone at all. Hang in there!
