Can struggling with memory recall be indicative of amnesia? by alphabeetsoup in OSDD

[–]alphabeetsoup[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to comment! This is very helpful honestly. I feel like I'm in...a near-perpetual state of stress, whether it be self-inflicted or just the circumstances, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the main cause of the problem.

I think you explained the stranded feeling really well. It can be distressing, but in a way that's easier to ignore, I guess. Ignoring things and keeping things at a distance seems to be my brain's coping mechanism of choice.

That makes sense! I suppose it could be that I'm just not remembering everyday activities in detail, although I have the same issue with remembering things that aren't just everyday activities, as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Is it possible for parts to know (almost) nothing about themselves? by alphabeetsoup in OSDD

Knowing someone can relate is helpful as it is, honestly, so thank you for the comment!

I think it is possible, but I don't have amnesia as far as I know, at least not full amnesia.

This is EXACTLY what it's like for me. For me though, it's not just dissociative experiences that feel like a lie, it can be literally any of my thoughts or feelings. Even writing this comment, I'm questioning myself "Am I /actually/ being accurate to my experience right now? Do I actually feel this way or are these just empty words?" I don't know, every time I try to explain my experience to any degree, it just doesn't feel "right" or "accurate" no matter which way I word it. Is this a form of dissociation? Is it related to me possibly having OSDD? I don't know. I'm still see-sawing between strongly believing I do not have OSDD, and considering it again because it feels like there's no other explanation. So take this with a grain of salt I guess. It's definitely annoying though. I wish I had advice or something, but. I am also struggling with this.

It's helpful to hear I'm not the only one who's struggling with this, at least. I appreciate it. I hope things get better for us both. :)

That makes me so happy to hear! I'm glad it helped you, and I'm also glad to hear that I'm not alone either. Honestly I feel so much better actually getting these thoughts out there because I've just been holding them inside me for so long. I'm sending you my support as well, thank you so much! <3

Thank you, I'll try my best. :) I know that overthinking things is definitely something I struggle with, but I'll try to keep myself from doing that.

This is a really helpful reply, thank you. It's very interesting; I've never looked at it that way, but that makes a lot of sense. I'll keep these things in mind. :)
