uchanda:

dissociative symptoms that nobody talks about:

  • no perception of your body parts (ex: who knows where are my hands?)
  • illusory body motion: perceiving body motion that doesn’t happen at all (ex: omg my head is shaking as fuck)
  • body distorptions illusions: perceiving that the size (macropsia/micropsia) or the posture of your body has dramatically changed (ex: i can feel my hands growing)
  • not recognizing yourself in the mirror (ex: is this my face? really?)
  • out of body experiences: looking at your body from the outside (ex: wow, i can float on air)
  • hallucinations: yes, we can have hallucinations even if we are not psychotic; hearing alter’s voices is not considered hallucinating (i use to experience olfactory hallucinations, but auditory/visual/tactile/gustatory hallucinations are also common, and most of time they’re related to trauma)
