My dx again are depression, anxiety, bpd, anorexia, ptsd, trichotillomania. He feels that the episodes are one of the criteria of bpd.
I do dissociate, esp before or after hurting myeslf, and no, I don't see anything like this when I dissociate. After seeing the shimmering flies, bugs, etc, I either wait shocked, thinking that maybe they will come back, or I just burst into tears.Katt
> Katt, I feel even more strong than before - because of the colorfulness and shimmering - that you should look into possible Temporal Lobe seizures. I'd be glad to help in any way I can. What is your dx again? People do seizure in the night, and people do have nausea.
