I've dissociated during flashbacks before (usually if I try to ignore it is when it gets worse) but never anything like I did last week... and I just found out about this all yesterday which is sorta freaking me out...
Last Friday I had some pretty serious stuff going on, things happened that posed an actual threat on my safety so I guess that's what triggered all of this. I'm on Concerta for ADHD every day, Buspar every day for the anxiety and flashbacks, and Xanax only when I REALLY need it when things get really bad with the anxiety. Last Friday was the first time I took the xanax after I had been put on the Buspar, so I'm not sure if maybe that contributed to this at all or not...
Anyway, it turns out I don't really remember ANYTHING from that one day last week. Well, no... I remember a little bit of the morning, but not any details really, and NOTHING from the afternoon on. Apparently though later in the evening I was talking to some people, and told them my name was a different name than it was. I don't remember talking to the people or anything at all really, so I don't know if I actually thought my name was different or if I thought I was a completely different person or if I was consciously aware of it but didn't want them knowing my real name... I don't know what was going on. It's really scary too. I don't think it's ever happened before, but I guess I really can't be sure, given that had one of my friends not finally told me, I wouldn't have known about it this time.
