Welcome! It’s good to have some kind of connection (virtually is as good as anything) to others who live this experience everyday.

I don’t know much about dissociation in complex terms. But I know that I’ve dissociated in the past. There’s been a lot in life I’ve blocked myself from so I can get through each day with focus and determination.

Sorry you’re feeling heaviness of it right now. Sending waves of support.

Welcome to the board Bimi.... Have you been diagnosed with bipolar?.... I have had this as well... I think more due to my young life and have complex trauma

We also have a good PTSD board on here...

It isn't nice... Vent vent vent.... This is a good place to come.... Big hug....xo

Thanks soo much to u both. I have had dissociation in the past worse than it is now. Then it was due to PTSD. Now I believe I’m a pressure cooker that has boiled over...I’m completely overwhelmed with everything going on around me. It is distressing and I’m afraid of where this can go from here. I’m taking Latuda now for it and am awaiting therapy as well as looking into physcologists.

I'd be careful of looking for "people like you" on Social Media especially if your experiencing disassociation. Social Media can be a nasty place and people can be cruel and tend to not quite be as they present themselves.

A Support Site like DS tends to be a somewhat safer option.

I'm sorry you're going through this, trauma and Stress induce this so just try to take it one day at a time and one moment at a time. Hope you feel better soon

I wanted to chime in also with what OlderCPer is describing.

Social Media isn’t a good place for disssociation. I tend to think people not affiliated with mental health treatments in any way abuse anonymity and mess around on social media.

But a virtual support group and things like NAMI virtual support groups are more helpful. Still have to be careful and protect yourself but we have a community here so I do think you are in a good place here.

Twitter? Not so much.

Hugs of support.

Thanks for both of ur concerns. I guess I don’t really know what I’m talking about as I was assuming this is a type of social media. This being the only thing I’m on so I don’t even know how to use it yet. I’m not sure if I’m replying correctly or if I should be replying only to the individual. Wanting to reply to others posts but not sure what to say or how to say it. Lots to learn.
