Question:
I don’t know a thing about this group but I suspect dissociative period, often quite long. I’ve been referring to them as flat-line feelings because I sort of go numb and don’t really understand what’s going on although I can perform very simple routine tasks. This all becomes very pronounced when under stress… it happens in seconds. I think it’s like I turn into myself. I don’t react to anything and that’s why I’ve referred to it as flat-line. I read a few articles on it and identified with symtoms. I do carry a diagnosis of PTSD with personality dysfunctions. I was diagnosed as Manic-Depressive for twenty years before that being recently changed to PTSD. I’m writing through Dejanews for this post as an exploratory venture. Just to see whats going on. Thank you

turn in to yourself? what do you mean? I turn in to myself meaning that I disconnect with what is going on around me. I lose touch with reality. I don’t react to anything and that’s why I’ve referred to it as flat-line.
I don’t react too, or I overreact. I read a few articles on it and identified with symtoms. I do carry a diagnosis of PTSD with personality dysfunctions. I was diagnosed as Manic-Depressive for twenty years before that being recently changed to PTSD.
similar with me, but T does’t focus on diagnosis. I’m writing through Dejanews for this post as an exploratory venture. Just to see whats going on. Thank you

Hello Second, I don’t know if you have DID/MPD. PTSD is on the continuum for developing MPD so some of your symptoms may match what you would find in someone who suffers from DID. I still don’t know if I agree with the continuum that was drawn. I know that most DID/MPD individuals suffer from PTSD, but I don’t think that most people who suffer from PTSD are DID/MPD. It just doesn’t translate. I believe that you have to have an innate ability to be a natural dissociator to develop DID/MPD. I think that a dissociative is someone who has strong associative skills and they use teir natural talent to remove themselves mentally from things that they are not capable of facing. Sure, you probably have some rather strong dissociative skills to be told that you suffer from PTSD, but let’s hope that it didn’t develop into something as hard to cope with as DID. DID causes you to have a very fragmented view on life. I don’t wish this on anybody. I became a dissociative in response to extreme circumstances. I hope that you have had a better life than what you will normally find in the Dissociative Community. andregide – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I don’t know a thing about this group but I suspect dissociative period, often quite long.
