Dissociation

[Leumas Yoke]

I have dissociation - possibly from psychiatric drugs. Are there any medicines that would minimize this or even help?

To clarify, do you mean dissociative identity disorder?

I have not been diagnosed as such, but I have experienced Dissociation myself - both being "possessed" by a different personality and more complete dissociation where I seem to leave my body.

It is my understanding that dissociation is not triggered by drugs, though I could be wrong. You may already know this but it is due to traumatic events in one's childhood (physical, sexual, torture, ritualistic abuse, etc.) to the extent that the child's mind dissociates and fractures into alters (different personalities) to escape the horrific reality of what is taking place and what he/she is being exposed to. It is a protective mechanism that the mind is forced to resort to in order to preserve the sanity of the child. However as the child grow older, these memories begin to resurface, personalities emerge, one becomes aware of missing time, bodily sensations, demonic experiences, etc. I'm not qualified to help you but there is help. God loves you and knows what you have experienced throughout life - even if you don't remember or understand everything at this present time. Total healing is possible. There are many Christian-based organizations that can help sort this out with you. I have listed just a couple of links below that can inform you further. Be aware though that listening/reading can "trigger" reactions in yourself. May God bless and heal you as you go though this journey with Him.

And - I know it's the obvious thing, but sometimes they need to be said - your best starting point for a conversation about possible treatment would be your own irl doctor.

I do hope you find the help you need.
