I get that strange feeling before I get sleep paralysis and then a real loud gushing noise in my ears.i shout for help,but no-one hears me....I think its part of dissociation

hi karilc- what kind of seizures have you and how were you diagnosed?i thought ptsd had more to do with non epelptic seizures,but you are in the right place to get information here!they start you off with a low dose and increase itweekly,if you can tolerate it

I never told my therapist about it,my partner has said many time that I display OCD.none of my family has it.i kind of realise it myself at times,but do my hide it as best as I can.i do have content thoughts in my head(will I do something or not),always thinking to myself,how will I be normal...

its just when I came home I started to think about it scout86. I am sure someone on here knows ...

how are the two separated? psychiatric damage- ptsd?

but is ptsd not psychiatric damage?

I still don't get it. ok,so PTSD is a diagnose.but what is under the umbrella of psychiatric?does all mental illness not fall under the term "psychiatric problems"?

what is the difference between the two ? I was in with my therapist and I heard them talking about how some people have ptsd from accidents and some have psychiatric damage,

had a few EMDR sessions now.its strange,because I feel some what better,but the past seems very foggy.i am finding it hard to find the right words..!

how did it help you? is it something that has to be taken long term?

tried cbt and emdr,but did not help. i have come too terms with the way I am,but my partner is wanting the "old me back".

so I have come to live with the derealisation episodes I get.the thing that bugs me and I think is bugging my partner is my slows thinking/memory problems and headaches. my partner thinks they are down to the mild traumatic brain injury I received a few years back.she said I have changed since...

the neuro has to rule epilpspy out.so if the medication does not help with the seizures after iam put on the highest dose,its then classed as Non epileptic/dissociation/derealisation.its been tough taking the medication.it has lifted my mood and my ptsd does not seem as bad. I think if I had...

What do you mean you don't match one particular type of dissociation? are there different types? when I get triggers my mind just drifts away and get a sense of things are not real.these can last for a few seconds or a longer if I am by myself.if there is someone with me,i can get grounded a...

what do you mean by " withdrawal ?

I have had ptsd before,but never any memory/ concentration problems.i have had mri/cat scan and all clear.had an eeg done and it just showed slow brain waves,no epilepsy.

i was given it for suspected epilepsy,the neuro was unsure if was epilepsy or dissociation/realization seizures.the lamictal did not help with the episodes and looks more like dissociation/derealization as i have complex ptsd. the medication does help lift my mood,but iam only...

well said. it would be nice to have "them moments" more often

Are these conditions always going to be there ? (like a bad heart) What I am starting to realise,there is no cure,but they can be managed/learn to deal with them.

were iam at now- I have really been struggling with this for the past few years,not knowing if it was dissociation or epilepsy.my memory and concentration have been really bad and were still unsure if that's down to the mild traumatic brain injury or dissociation,either way its as still as bad...

I know its not a cure,but I find it helps.I know you can not exercise 24/7 to keep the mind busy! the benefit I get,i find it hard to put into words.

I do get dissociative sezuire type thing when I get really stressed or triggered. they first thought it was epilepsy,tried the medication and never helped.so they then said it was dissociation/derealisation. it was very hard been on that medication.

these are 2 problems,that look very similar.i don't understand how people take medicine for epilepsy and it does not help,but keep taking it for years..?

I think I have some depression "because " I have dissociation,if that makes sense.
