I get weird disorientation. I wake up sometimes and don't know where I am, or at least - I think I am somewhere else.
Once this resulted in me falling out of a bunk bed! other times I have woken up thinking I've been kidnapped and run out, until I realise I'm safe at home.
ANYHOW someone posted an interesting thread about how you 'leave' your session each week. And it occurred to me, last week I got really disorientated leaving therapy. I was at the door and thought I was in a place where you have to flick a switch to open the door. I switched off the lights. I then got even more disorientated and was calling out for my shrink. I could hear him from the top of the stairs coming out but then I got scared/embarrassed and just ran out. And was somewhat grounded, despite slightly dizzy.
SRSLY, what's the deal? And I only remember this because that thread caused me to remember. For all I know this could happen a lot.
To let you know the geography of my shrinks office, it is up a narrow steep slight of stairs.
