What is your OSDD diagnosis (macropsia, tachypsychia, microamnesia, dissociative stup

Well Moxie, I think you still belong here for more than one reason:

1. If the diagnosis your T gave you is accurate, C-PTSD does involve dissociative symptoms (is considered a dissociative disorder by many experts!) and since this is a dissociative disorder group you fit in!

2. If this group brings you any kind of help, comfort or sense of belonging, you belong for that reason.

Question:
Are you satisfied with his answer to you? Do you trust him?

Yes I am relieved by his answer. I thought maybe he was seeing more than I was. I do need a sense of belonging as I feel I do not belong or fit in well in "out there" and I get lost when I do not know where to post. In the complex PTSD section I have not seen anyone posting much about what we post about here.

I still have flashbacks as got triggered terribly last night by a horrible disgusting sound effect at the end of the rolling credits on a movie on Showtime. I can't even talk about it it is so triggering. I did however try T's containment over and over and over to get the noise and image out of my head.

Anyway thanks so much Laurel. I do see T today and I am not sure if he wants to discuss my diagnosis more or not.

Sure would hate to see you go... Most everyone here also has PTSD to deal with...it seems to go hand in hand with dissociative disorders. Having parts are still having parts...and yes it’s parts of our brain that is trying to protect our psyche from the trauma endured....so your insight is very welcomed- also would like to hear how therapy went.

thanks for the update moxie.. though CPTSD is not listed as a ....dissociative disorder (its listed in the Trauma and stressor related disorders, not with that labeling but more individualized according to a persons own symptoms) for some people this does have dissociative symptoms.

my point related to your feeling that you may not belong here in the dissociative disorders board.... if you have dissociation problems regardless of your diagnosis your dissociative posts belong in the dissociative board.

related to your finding out you are not diagnosed OSDD....

I know that you were thinking you had this but i for one am so glad you do not. though OSDD is the least severe dissociative disorder listing wise. its hard because its an on and off and on again kind of thing where the problems come, stick around for only a day or two, a month max then they go away, then something happens where the problem comes back again for a day or two or a month max. its a hard looping thing to cope with, just when I think my macropsia is under control and gone something in my life triggers me into having my dissociation problems again. thank the stars for great doctors and meds that control this problem.

thank you for the update.

I believe DD-NOS was split into a few separate classifications in the DSM V, as this link describes: http://traumadissociation.com/images...5-osdd-udd.jpg.

Since DID was ruled out does that mean it's OSDD like you were told before?

ETA: I noticed it says the diagnosis is CPTSD..I was thinking maybe your therapist thought it might be DID but then decided it wasn't and was OSDD instead. It probably would have been better if the OSDD hadn't even been mentioned to you until after it was confirmed whether you had it or not.

clicking on the last post in this thread simply because its the last, not because I am posting to the last person....

since no one wants to discuss whether they have....

Macropsia
Tachypsychia
Transient Stupor
Dissociative paralysis
micro amnesia

which is the topic of this thread

and those posting would rather post off topic of these mental disorders i am now asking that this thread be closed.

those that want to continue their discussions that do .....not..... have to do with....

Macropsia
Tachypsychia
Transient Stupor
Dissociative paralysis
micro amnesia

will need to make their own threads.

those members with these disorders that this thread was supposed to be about....

i will be glad to discuss them either through pm or the other website where we do discuss these dissociative disorders. thanks.
