There were movies i watched when i was youger like the lion king and mulan that i can no longer remember watching. I was never abused when i was younger, but i did hallucinate from a young age.
It seems to us that you definitely have a dissociative disorder, most likely DDNOS-1 or DID, which would explain why you don't remember your childhood.
DID isn't caused by abuse only. It is caused by trauma.
*Possible Trigger Warning* Trauma can be anything that can be considered traumatic to a child, including bullying, extreme stress, witnessing guardians fight, witnessing an accident or a crime, losing someone you loved/that was close to you at an early age, being left alone a lot (can create feelings of abandonment or a fear of being left which can be traumatic to a child), pretty much anything that could be a "big deal" to a child, even if it doesn't seem like a "big deal" to you now when you look back on it, could be considered as possible trauma. *End Possible Trigger Warning*
Anyway, hello to all!, Jenny, James, even John, and anyone else who's there!
And hello to Lori, Hope, Sara, and Scruffy!
