Question: Some friends told me i was dissociative at school yesterday.?
but i don't remember it. for all i know, i acted completely normal that day. my friend called me up when i got home and she told me i went in and out of it all day, and that when people tried to talk to me i would just stare off into the distance, but i honestly don't remember doing this. i wasn't on any new medications or drugs or alcohol or anything. were my friends just screwing with me.? should i tell my psychologist about it.? or is it not even an issue.?
thanks.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
I assume if you had something special on your mind and you were distracted you probably would have known as much, and wouldn't be worried now.
You say new meds and that you have a psychologist, so I assume you have a diagnosed condition of some sort already. If you're prone to spacing out sometimes anyway, especially if your diagnosed condition (ADD being an obvious one) or the meds you take can lead to a little daydreaming, they've obviously just learned a new term and wanted to use it (incorrectly, it sounds like).
If that isn't normal for you, ask your mom or someone you trust if you've seemed more spaced out than usual lately, or see if you catch yourself coming out of a fog more than you're used to. If you are, don't panic, it's probably nothing serious, but if you do have a condition/behavior meds it's worth a mention to your psychologist. He/she will be better suited to helping you figure out what's going on and whether it's anything other than normal teenage daydreaming than your friends.Health Question & Answer

I don't know how your friends would know if you were disassociative or not. Generally that's a feeling you alone get, not a way you act. Maybe a doctor could tell, but certainly not a schoolmate. Your friends have probably been doing too much "research" on Wikipedia; I wouldn't worry about it.Health Question & Answer
well, you probably don't remember it because you were zoning out haha. I really don't see the big deal. Maybe your friends were just a little concerned because you didn't seem to care what Billy had said to Kim the day before.Health Question & Answer
Your friend probably learned about personality disorders in class and now thinks that she has enough authority to diagnose people. Don't worry about it, if you did your psychologist would have noticed.Health Question & Answer
