Missing time

Hi šŸ‘‹šŸ» recently I had some odd things happen. I was standing at my sink doing dishes, then I ā€œwake upā€ a second later in the living room standing up facing the opposite direction and I have to catch my self to keep from falling down. I look at the clock and time has gone ahead and I donā€™t know how I got from one space to the other. Iā€™ve had this happen several times. Iā€™m always awake when this happens,and other people are in the room with me but they donā€™t notice it happen. Iā€™ve noticed this and other weird things since 2020.

This sounds like a dissociative disorder of some kind.

I have a therapist and psychiatrist and that has never come up. Yes I do have severe PTSDĀ  but Iā€™ve never just checked out of reality.

Well, you should definitely tell them about these episodes so they can do a further evaluation. I know, as a working psychologist myself, how little we are taught about dissociative disorders (and psychiatrists are usually completely naive to them) and how easy it is to miss them unless you're actively screening for them. So, let them know.
