Question:

Help! What is this trance-like state?

I have recently experienced periods where I go into a "trance". When I do, sometimes I can hear people talk to me but I can't respond. I just stare off into space. I am told sometimes I do close my eyes like I am asleep. When I "come back", I don't know what happened. I just "wake" up and time has past. I don't feel tired like I've fallen asleep. I feel awake. I feel a litlle disoriented sometimes( like I don't know what just happened). Other times, I am unaware that anything has happened. Sometimes the events are preceeded by an overwhelming feeling of danger. I don't know what the danger is but I will be overcome with it. Then, I "wake" up a few minutes later. Sometimes, I might have been talking about something emotional but, other times, it just happens. Has anyone else experienced a similar incident?

Then what does a dissociative state look like? If I feel like I leave my body what happens? I used to do this when I was being abused as a child. Is this different?


Answers:

I would STRONGLY suggest that you see a neurologist or a psychiatrist right away. The symptoms you are describing is very suspect of complex seizures or petite mal seizures. If it is seizures, they can often be well controlled through medication.
