The effects of dissociative disorder may include:
•gaps in your memory
•finding yourself in a strange place without knowing how you got there
•out-of-body experiences
•loss of feeling in parts of your body
•distorted views of your body
•forgetting important personal information
•being unable to recognise your image in a mirror
•a sense of detachment from your emotion
•the impression of watching a movie of yourself
•feelings of being unreal
•internal voices and dialogue
•feeling detached from the world
•forgetting appointments
•feeling that a customary environment is unfamiliar
•a sense that what is happening is unreal
•forgetting a talent or learned skill
•a sense that people you know are strangers
•a perception of objects changing shape, colour or size
•feeling you don’t know who you are
•acting like different people, including child-like behaviour
•being unsure of the boundaries between yourself and others
•feeling like a stranger to yourself
•being confused about your sexuality or gender
•feeling like there are different people inside you
•referring to yourself as ‘we’
•being told by others that you have behaved out of character
•finding items in your possession that you don’t remember buying or receiving
•writing in different handwriting
•having knowledge of a subject you don’t recall studying.
This isn't limited to everything you might feel, and you don't have to feel all of them to consider yourself with a dissociative disorder, these are just the most common ones.
