As far as I can tell it is random and nothing affects whether it happens or not. (I get the blackout all of a sudden, act out of character kind and have no memory of it kind).

Yes, it can be stopped. Mine was so bad they diagnosed me DID. Nope. Just bad dissociation. It took years of good therapy and being honest and sober. It’s not an instant fix. They didn’t call it distress tolerance back then but that was the thing that best helped. Leaning to sit quietly with my own self.

So if my bad (court ordered so can’t switch) therapy takes my honesty and punishes me for it or misunderstands and takes it in a way unintended at best, I’m just fked?

Because I feel like the more “therapy” I get the more terrified of everything I get and the more I wanna get wasted the more I wanna die the more I can’t tolerate sitting with myself.

when they say therapy is hard and doesn’t feel good that means it’s working if I went from sui attempts once every year or four to once every month or four right?

I dont think "they" understand it at all.

Its like when i took my car in because it was acting funny. Pretty sure it was acting funny because i used the auto drive, which i had never used before, where you set a speed on the steering wheel. So something electrical, right? The effers at the dealership set my car under fake rain for 2 days trying to make it short out. All they did was rot out my trunk springs so the trunk wouldnt stay open anymore.

So for dissociation - same thing. They dont know where to look, and they break more stuff trying to fix it.

That was my wife's experience. She believes that her PTDS-inducing history would've been better kept buried.

@MuddyBoots, I recall that you were interested in pursuing more education. I like to imagine that you achieved a high degree of competency in psychiatry and re-wrote the treatments for your conditions. (This occurs during my mild episodes of dissociation-like cognition, or lack of cognition.)

@unaluna I love your analogies and you’re dead on.

@SquarePegGuy I’m writing a little bit of a memoir about some horrific treatment and what actually has helped. Idk if it’s going to get published or even finished but I have a fun title for it.
