Hi, I have a dissociative disorder so I can related. I often feel cut off from reality. I wake up in different places, don't remember how I got to places, meet people I have no recollection of meeting, and so on and so on. I have bought things I don't remember. Anyway, I can relate to your feelings. I didn't know what to call this it was my T that gave me the DX. It is tough and my husband doesn't understand it but he tries. My black out periods as I call them come and go as they want and I have no control so it can be frightening but over the years I have learned I usually don't get hurt. They have tried in the past to medicate me for partial seizures. The meds don't work. I just now am understanding that it probably isn't partials as they never happen at home. If you have really depersonalization then meds don't always help. But it couldn't hurt I guess. I haven't found a good p-doc that understands this yet as it is hard. But having a T that does it the first step and if you do he/she can help you mine has. Although I think she has dumped me now. Maybe not maybe she is just busy. Anyway, I just wanted to say you are not alone and you will be ok. I have lived with this since I was a child and I am 48 now. I am a mess but still hanging in there. RK
