how can you tell when memory blocks (as i call them)
are from dissociation or from a brain disorder such as an illness? i am struggling with this ...because although i am DID ...i am thinking that some of the the blocks are becoming more medical ..with headaches ..falling alot (balance) .. confusion that is worse on some days than others ..depending if i am being or have been triggered .. slow speech and cognitive things like trying to concentrate - and trying to process what others are saying..etc.. i have recently been told i have been places that i have no recollection of and it is beginning to really scare me! and simple things like recallin passwords - even my phone number i have had for years.. can anyone help or have any suggestions? i wrote my pdoc but she said to talk to T about it .. but T is not a doc.. i need to know the diffference

Do you have a regular doctor (primary care, general practitioner, medical) that you can see? Maybe they can do some testing. Cognitive function or EEG or something?
Just because you have a DID dx doesn't mean that something else might not be wrong. There's plenty of other stuff possible in the world, and i don't think anyone's immune.

I'd definitely go to a Dr and get checked out. Just tell the Dr your symptoms and he can run some tests to find out.
Good luck to you. Please let us know.

I think going to a Doc is a good idea. They can run tests if need be.

thank you for all replies ..
i did find a dr that treats neurological stuff and does testing .. also therapy .. all in one .. i have a appointment soon. something tells me that i do have neuro problems on top of everything else.. i dont know how they test but wil soon. kinda scared at this point. it will mean a change of MSW to a Phd LP .. a transition. which is probably what i needed all along. it is good and i am glad i found someone .. just scared at the same time.

That's great free1. It's understandable that it would be scary. Change scares me to death, even if it's good change.
Please keep us posted.
