I wanted to share some thoughts because they've been freaking me out, but I can't tell friends and I'm too sober whenever I go to therapy to address stuff like this XD these are part of the notes I took a week or so ago having a breakdown in my car: (was an intro but don't feel comfortable sharing) Then I felt like a puppet, but not one controlled well, my head and movements are sloppy but I feel like I am not the one moving the strings. But im aware it's part of my brain, the one twitching and moving, it's not unknown, not a surprise, im aware its me. But it's a splitting feeling, Its uncomfortable to suppress, but it dont know if it's just paranoia. I think I am in control, but there are constant conflicting thoughts, fighting for an action ill take. A destructive action or something to fight that idea. The negative seems to outway the logical thinking if my mind slips. not looking for any response, just wanted to scream into a void, but not really a void šŸ˜…. If anyone's felt this way lmk šŸ˜… its been freaking me the f out, I feel out of control but in control at the same time

      This definitely reminds me of dissociation mixed with poor impulse control. I personally struggle with this combination and it's life-threatening at times. I agree, they should definitely look into dissociation!!

      That sounds a lot like some kind of disassociation mixed with low impulse control and maybe even intrusive thoughts? It can be dangerous and scary but try not to freak out too much and try to work your way up to telling your therapist, they'll probably be able to help or refer you to someone who can help.

      I havenā€™t had this exact experience, but if you havenā€™t before, you might want to consider looking up dissociation. And when you feel comfortable or able to, itā€™s definitely very worth it to talk to your therapist about! These types of symptoms are not as unusual as you might think, but it can be really scary or upsetting!

      To me it's like a battle in my head that I've been struggling with but am aware

        @Clever auto pilot is numb and comfortable when it happens to me, this seems more like im fighting the pilot to not crash the plane
