Dissociation

Had the experience of feeling that my body did not belong to me.

Found that I heard voices inside my head that told me to do things or commented on things that I was doing.

Had the experience of looking in a mirror and not recognizing myself.

Found that when I was watching television or a movie I became so absorbed in the story that I was unaware of other events happening around me.

Found writings, drawings, or notes among my belongings that I must have done but cannot remember doing.

Found myself dressed in clothes I didn't remember putting on.

Found that I had no memory for some important event in my life (for example, a wedding or graduation).

Found that I could not remember whether I had done something or had just thought about doing that thing.

Found evidence that I had done things that I did not remember doing.

Find that in certain situations I am able to do things with amazing ease and spontaneity that would usually be difficult for me.

Talked out loud to myself.

Found new things among my belongings that I didn't remember buying.

Found myself in a place and had no idea how I had gotten there.

Find that I sometimes sit staring off into space, thinking of nothing, and am not aware of the passage of time.

Had the experience of being in a familiar place but finding it strange and unfamiliar.

Felt that I could not move my hands or feet.

Felt like I was disconnected from my body.

Had the experience of feeling that other people, objects, and the world around me were not real.

Had the experience of feeling as though I was standing next to myself, or watching myself as if I was looking at a different person.

Was told that I sometimes do not recognize a friend or family member.

Had the experience of not being sure whether things I remember happening really did happen, or whether I just dreamed them.

Drove or rode somewhere without remembering later what happened during all or part of the trip.

Had the experience of remembering a past event so vividly that it felt like I was reliving that event.

Found that I was able to ignore pain.

Found that I became so involved in a fantasy or daydream that it felt like it was really happening to me.

Find that in one situation I act so differently from when I'm in another situation that I feel almost as if I were two different people.

Had the experience of being accused of lying when I did not think I had lied.

Felt like I was dreaming when I was awake.

Was approached by someone I didn't know who called me by another name or who insisted that he or she had met me before.

Felt as though I was looking at the world through a fog so that people and objects appeared far away or unclear.

Was listening to someone talk and suddenly realized I did not hear part or all of what was said.
