I'm sorry if I am doing this wrong. I am new here.

I am 16, and my parents are divorced. I have a good relationship with both of them.

My mom and siblings say that my dad was very very abusive was I was young but I can't remember. I have lots of memories where he would beat us, but I can't see him in those memories. It is so freaky. It is like my ...

Hi there,

I was just wondering whether anyone else has any experience of going into a trance after a trauma.

There were times when I was younger where I would have 'absences' where I would trance out with my eyes open. People would not be able to get me to come to either by talking to me, making noises or waving their hands in front of my face.

I've been riding out 'reclaiming' memories of ...

hi so i have dissociative amnesia but don’t really understand much about it and the different types.
i don’t remember anything before the age of 12, if anything it’s just like random little movie clips that are foggy and from someone else’s perspective. i’m pretty sure a lot of my personality changed after that age as well. but fast forward to now, i’m 26 and i still have memory lapses and constant memory problems. the ...

I am the trying this for so long but still unable to figure out why I lose my personality each time when I come out of a h abbit. That I nearly forget everyeverything I used to do for the days and then my present self withdraws inwards and I act out on my h abbit. It appears scary after ach relapse I feel like i have living another life for the last 10 or ...

I am really worried about my memory problems that has surfaced in the last few years. So I have been under alot of stress, from mental and physical trauma to harrassment from abusive people, and stress of losing work. I suffer from depression and anxiety for a long time.
I started noticing I don't remember personal events, like I took road trips and not remember much what we did or where we went. Even my ...

Hey,

I don't know if anyone will answer on here or not but it's worth a try as I see lots of posts are older now.

Really struggle at times to come to terms with the amnesia I suffered. My life, maybe like others on here, was built upon my ability to understand/compute/analyse/memorize, and when that was taken so was my life in a big way. I've regained some of my memory now thankfully, but ...

So, I asked my therapist for a concise diagnosis today, and she said that I have Severe PTSD with Dissociative Amnesia. I also took the DES and scored 46.8, and people with DID score in the 40s. I've no idea what to think about these mixed messages. Oh well, I guess I'll just concentrate on healing from now on.

Life partner of 18 years recently discovered he suffers from dissociative amnesia. Once we understood the diagnosis it explained lapses in memory but we're really hoping to understand if it also explains his complete change in tone, level of aggression and mannerisms during these episodes. What's making this incredibly important right now and today is that money has gone missing and at least I believe that it was who he becomes in times of stress ...

Has anyone with moderate - extreme dissociate disorder tried any psychedelics?

I recently resorted to LSD in hopes of helping me with mental guidance such as who i am and why i live the way i do mentally and such. I was hoping for a mind ###$ or ego death that would help guide me.
I took a heavy dose over 350 mics and i didnt even trip, maybe another part of my brain experienced ...

I know what dissociation is and I know what amnesia is and I know I have alters and I don't know if it is just stressed...I think I have DID but have never actually forgot who I was before, have been having trouble remembering what I have done over the last month but know there was a lot of drama. It just feels like I am losing my memory. Is this a permanent thing? Is ...
