I don't have parts/alters though, I don't have DID

Yeah my pdoc admitted me to hospital the second time it happened so has seen me in the state. She said I was euphoric but not psychotic. She has known me for about 4 years and so pretty much knows me and my states.

Sorry forgot to mention about triggers. My therapist said it has happened when I've had excess stress and I've not been able to cope. It's as if I go to another kind of place until I'm in a safe environment again, which is why when I get to hospital, I 'come around' and get back in to reality...

Yeah, I think I'm going to ask my community psychiatric nurse (cpn) when I next see her to ask my psychiatrist her thoughts on it. I'm not scheduled to see my psychiatrist unless I'm in hospital so I need to do it this way. I just know that both times I've come through a&e, the liaison psych...

Thanks, I just re-read and I don't have DID. I've been screened using a questionnaire (can't remember the name of it but the most common one). I came out high depersonalisation/derealisation though. It's happened 3 times to me now over. The first time I don't remember, and still have no...

Sorry I've not replied sooner, it happened again and this time I ended up being stopped on a bridge by the police as I thought I could jump off and enter the other universe. It wasn't a pleasant experience and being manhandled by them triggered a flashback whilst I was in the back of the police...

Thanks so much for your replies. After the first time it happened my psychiatrist said that sometimes these things happen and the reason I don't remembe rit is because I've put it in it's own drawer and shut it off. The second time I haven't seen her about but I remember the actual incident, in...

Hey there, I'm really sorry that you have to deal with dissociation too. I'm pretty much in the dark where it's concerned and learning about what happens to me at the time as well. I wish I could give you more advice than that but at the moment, I can't :(

Brilliant thanks for the welcome back. I won't be promoting it here don't worry :)

They say not, that's it's just dissociation but when I've had other dissociative episodes, that has never happened. I guess that's why I wanted to see if anyone else had any similar experiences

I've had a weird experience and just today told that it is definitely dissociation. Basically what has happened is ive been triggered and from that I've ended up in hospital. When I've gone in to a dissociative state, I've also taken on a new belief that there is a parallel universe where no...

Thanks so much - it's been a bumpy road

I've not been on the forums for a long time, for a number of different reasons. Firstly, I've had to concentrate on myself for a while. I've had a number of stays in hospital and had a reassessment for therapy which I've been declined on the past for being too high risk. Secondly, I have been...

That was my last therapy (emdr and cbt), this new is cat and art therapy. I spent a lot of time with my previous therapist looking at personal coping skills and yet the nature of what I need to talk about, left me feeling unsafe. Maybe this new type of therapy won't be as invasive as emdr felt

I was having therapy for about a year. It was supposed to be emdr but it proved too triggering for me and if was decided I wasn't ready for that. I'm not too sure if I can pinpoint the type of therapy that continued after that. It was with the same therapist and she was trained in cbt, but even...
