Not sure if this belongs here?

I was absolutely fine on Thursday, went to work, had a good day, very clear headed and then due to an issue with my T (minor now when I look back) - I have had such a hard weekend, overwhelmed, very difficult to function or motivate myself.

My children are coming back from their dad's this evening and I knew I had to get it together to go shopping for some food. I felt very overwhelmed in the supermarket, ended up walking off without my credit card and was half way home when I realised I was still pushing the shopping trolley.

It felt very frightening and disorientating and I am back home now trying to calm myself down.

At the time I can remember associating my overwhelm, which included symptoms of tingling all over my body, with the times that my father would forcibly hold me down and encourage my brother to tickle me all over until I was in such a rage, but could not get away.

I have always thought that these symptoms were just anxiety, but now I am not so sure.

I still can't believe that I walked off with the shopping trolley - I must have looked crazy pushing my own wheeled trolley inside the supermarket trolley. Is this dissociation?

I think you were highly distracted and anxious, but im not sure you were dissociative. Thats just my opinion though.

if you were here in New York this could be many different things...medication problems, anxiety, ...any number of mental and medical health problems.

we can not tell you what this is with in you, thats called making a diagnosis which isnt allowed but we can tell you what these same things were called with in our selves.....

in me depending upon other accompanying symptoms this was called. anxiety, Multiple Sclerosis (a physical health problem), medication side effects, stress, lack of sleep, poor or inadequate diet from skipping meals.

to find out what this is with in you, you will need to contact your own treatment providers or a mental health or physical health treatment provider in your own location.

You know, I can't dx you and I don't know if this is common with you. Sure, I believe everyone can dissociate reliving a trauma, like a flashback. You might even call it PTSD.
I suggest therapy to come to grips with the traumatic incident. Not taking anything away from it because trust me, I know it's life disturbing. Hope you good luck with it.
