out of body experience post

Hi
I forgot to say in reference to my going out of body post and fear of.....
I really WNAT AND NEED FEEDBACK and perspecitvies from people with DID on what this out of body stuff where I am so scared of doing it, then I hear voices when I do it, and then now, It wants to happen in theraphy and I feel like "someone" wants to come out when it happens. Does this make sense to anyone here?

Hopefully this one will get through as I have been having troulbe with postings not showing up.


Thanks all

I have had several OBE's and I've never heard voices. Just seen and felt. However, it's not uncommon for someone to hear in an OBE.

However, the feeling of "someone" wanting to come out, expecially under a hypnotic state, sounds like you are talking about your "inner child". You could have Multiple Personality Disorder, or it could be that your therapist is just pinpointing a specific time and the "someone" is you at that time.

That's my usuless oppinnion though.

Hi
I am so glad you can have fun OBE's. This therapist just asked me to pinpoint my name as we were going to do a I am --------- exercise, I like_____ . Some exersize to strengthen sense of self as I told her I just feel unconnected to the name I have sometimes and don't feel it is me, feel empty, etc. When she siad Well choose a name I use.. which is usually the name given to me at birth or a variation with ie added to end, I did not feel I could and I suddenly felt very angry feeling that did not feel like mine and could feel myself starting to leave my body while my vision got all batty. It was wierd and scary but I survived. This was only my second theraphy appointment with this lady, and I was wondering myself if it indictated other personalities in me. By the way, your reply is hardly useless. I can't just walk up to people and tell them about this experience as I tried this with one person who I trusted and they said.. "are you safe to be around!" That made me sad as this person knows I have never hurt them. So, the useless reply at least makes me feel I am worhty of an answer.. which of course if PRICELESS so THank you

I do wonder why you would not hear anything in your OBE's. Do you have a dissociative disorder or rather learned coping mechanism...?

HI,

YA, I CAN RELATE TO WHAT YOU DISCRIBED AS A OBE. I'VE EXPERIENCED TWO DIFFERENT KINDS. AT LEAST THEY FELT DIFFERENT.

WHEN I HAD DRUG OVER DOSES,(I'M A RECOVERING ADDICT) I HAD THE GOING THROUGH THE TUNNEL AND INTO THE LIGHT KIND. I HEARD SOMEONE TELL ME IT IS NOT YOUR TIME.

WHEN I GET SCARED, (SOMETIMES TALKING TO SOMEONE IS ALL IT TAKES) I GET THIS WIERD FEELING. I'LL GET FLUSHED. MY BODY GOES NUMB. EVERYTHING AROUND ME LOOKS, FEELS AND SOUNDS DIFFERENT, LIKE I'M IN A BUBBLE. I'M VERY AWARE OF MY OWN VOICE WHEN I TALK, IT FEELS WIERD. I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD. USUALLY SOMETHING NEGITIVE. I HATE IT. IT MAKES ME FEEL WIERD. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN OR NOT? SOMETIMES I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THINGS CHANGED. IT FEELS LIKE I JUST WOKE UP. I TRY TO GO ON HOPING THEY (WHO EVER I'M TALKING TO) WON'T NOTICE.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER AND COPING MECHANISM? SOUNDS INTERESTING. IT IS NICE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP ABOUT THINGS YOU COULDN'T TELL YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS.

We have had out of body experiences.
They sre not too uncommon in DID.
More prevalent in pain, as with us when we were being R....
