HELP !!! confusion

((((((((((( Zorah ))))))))))))

Sending all of you extra hugs and comfort. If I can help with lists or anything at all, let me know.

Moving is scary for anyone. It's very normal, but it is natural for it to be scarier for all of you. I like Kimmy's idea about the lists for the littles. That will be a good thing.

Love and hugs,

Jan

thinking of you

Now we are having such vivid dreams that we can't tell which is which.

We aren't sure what was a dream & what happened irl.

Can anyone reply to the post above ? please pretty people

Does this happen to others ?

This is an added complication to all the other dissociative symptoms & is confusing the hell out of us.

Does anyone know a way to distinguish sleeping dreams from dissociative experiences ? It is causing us a lot of trouble.

Sometimes you can get vivid waking-dreams when understress or if you are not getting enough sleep. It is essential to get good REM sleep even if you are not getting deep sleep.

Take great care of yourself while this is going on, use grounding strats to get yourself back in reality. Simply touching objects around the house can help to orientate yourself back into the here-and-now.

I can get this as part of dissociation to, not feeling 'real,' again grounding techniques help and maybe stepping outside for a bit helps.

I have had vivid dreams in the past and I have never been able to sort out if they happened in reality or not. I know it is very confusing.

I don't know why they happen but perhaps they are helping you to work through changes in your life?

I have problems like KD's, only when driving (and on the way home from my therapist's) and would pass my exits off the freeway and be "lost" when I'd wake up.

Maybe being on the phone has something to do with it? Pretend it's a dream, what does being on the phone mean to you or make you think of? Who would you call and why?

I have an excellent memory (tested 99% sight memory) and recall so the "blackness" of not remembering is very scary for me. Hard to crawl back to before it started and try to remember what I was thinking about.

Maybe, if there's no alter it means you're processing things better, not going "as far" away.

This is an added complication to all the other dissociative symptoms & is confusing the hell out of us.

I know you don't want to hear this but it comes from a caring place...it's time to get another T.

Darling {{{{{sweet Petunia}}}}}

we have been trying to get a new t

but it's not that easy

we can't afford a private one, & the waiting list for the others is really long
we have tried two already that we couldn't talk to at all

we have to wait 6 months between attempts

we might have met a person that could help us for free, outside the system, at least while we wait. well, he already helps us, he is a friend's brother-in-law he is well qualified for the job & he even believes in DID unlike the two we interviewed one psychiatrist and one psychologist btw

at least we seem to have found our sense of humour again

& The Singer is back too we really missed her

but now she's back singing all the time, we can tell a lot
from what she is singing

the problem is Perna, that we are really on the phone when we "come to" sometimes

the ppl on the other end of the phone tend not to understand, especially if they are ppl we deal with for business

Hi!

I have had problems with fugue, that is I have been talking to people, mailed people, phoned people and not remebered it at all. They told me about it afterwards. This was after my father was murdered and I was in a psychosis (I obviously told a lot of people my paranoid masterplot but I do not remember this at all). My brother had it too (fugue not psychosis). He even took a trip abroad and woke up in a foreign city having no idea how he got there or where he was at all ...
Do you have multiple personalities? Do you remember when some other part of you is talking? Because it would be impossible for you to know if it is fugue or another personality coming through? You have to ask someone who meets you when this happens, right?

Hi Swedish,

yes we are multiple, most of us are co-conscious now

this seems to be a somewhat different problem

(((((your brother))))) that has happened to us too
