Was this Dissociative Fugue?

Postby Clouddog » Sat Jun 21, 2014 11:48 pm

I was in hospital with Schizophrenia, i had a command to 'go now, go'

i walked out in with no shoes or underwear as i was, I hitched 100 miles, I knew i was from plymouth i knew i was from the hospital and where my mum lived. I knew my sister had died hitching on the same road, but that's it. I felt i was doing it in her memory. I made up a whole life, personality, habits. was safe only by chance , shouted at people in the streets and was really crazy so i don't know if i was a crazy malingerer or having a fugue after 2 days i lost time and woke up in front of a shop in the dark. i got a taxi and gave them my new name, until they found out there was no such person. then i gave my real name.

does knowing some minor details about your real life discount fugue?

does it sound like I just forgot where i was and dropped asleep? I lost at least 8 hours


edit
I do sleepwalk, and have woken up in different places around the house, eating once, on the floor in the other room, head in hands sitting cross legged but i don't know if that has anything to do with it

It does not sound like a dissociative fugue. However, it does sound like a lot of other dissociative symptoms. Some people with schizophrenia have a lot of dissociative symptoms as well. And some people diagnosed with schizophrenia actually have DID not schizophrenia.

Have you ever had a thorough evaluation of your dissociative symptoms? That might be useful to do.
