Well, I feel weird, as though as if I were here in reality but as if I were autisic, like I can concentrate maybe too well in things but I'm having trouble talking to people because I feel like not human? sorry if this does not make sense but is very difficult to explain, I really hope some profesional sees this.
I feel too concentrated in little details while not watching the whole picture, I feel as though as if I was in my own world.
I also feel sometimes dissociated (derealization) from reality, just trapped in my own world.
I don't know what's up but people around me are starting to notice and they are not liking what they see, for instance, my mother thinks I'm emotionless.
Thank you for your time.

    Not even a professional doctor can diagnose someone over the internet. Anyways dissociative symptoms can be caused by a number of things. If you have aspergers you would have had the symptoms of it your whole life. Autistic disorders do not develop later in life and are consistant. Derealization can be a symptom of schizophrenia but it is not one of the symptoms used to diagnose it. PTSD can cause dissociation as well as personality disorders and depersonalization disorder.

      Well I did the AQ and got a positive diagnose of Asperger's syndrome. Then I saw another psychologist, and she diagnosed me with antisocial personality disorder... but before I say a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD and OCD... I think not even a professional doctor can diagnose me of nothing congruent then.
      I do study psychology myself, and it only makes me want to know myself - psychologically speaking- but I'm just not able to, and being surrounded with psychologists that notice things, and let you know they do, only makes me want to know what they see in myself, but I'm just not able to.

        Most people wont fit exactly into any one peticular diagnostic catagory. Thats what I dont like about psychology is psychistrists try to label people as if everyone fitting into that catagory is going to be the same. Ive gotten several diagnoses myself. It wont be much help unless you have something medicatable or applying to get disability benefits. I think everyones crazy and we all have our own personalized "disorder".

          Well yeah, you're right about that. In the end, we're all crazy haha, I hate psychiatrists by the way, they can really ruin your life from medicating you incorrectly.

    It sounds a lot like a form of ptsd to me. I'm so sorry you were raped,its very common for someone to dissacociate after something traumatic like that. Even if it was 3-4 yrs ago. I would see a psychiatrist. God bless

      Thnks, but I don't remember being raped, I knew because of the doctors and my sister... I didn't know I could have ptsd without remembering the traumatic experience.

    Have you been through any trauma recently? Even traumatic thoughts? I'm not a professional, but severe isolation, or a sudden loss can trigger these types of things. I would urge you to see a therapist that you like. I can help you to though. I got through it.

      Well, I was raped like 3 or 4 years ago, but I thought I got over it, it just started like a week ago, but It's like "seasonal"... I feel alexithymic, I know what's that because I study psychology and I'm currently seeing a therapist but I don't think he's helping out that much. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it a lot, and I think you're right, it might be PTSD.

        There's a 'disorder' called SAD...seasonal affective disorder.

          No, it comes and goes, I don't know what triggers it, can it be from PMS?

            I'm a guy so I can't help you there. I think you do need to see a professional, like a psychologist so you can at least pin down what's going on. I would really avoid pills of any kind, but that is your decision ultimately. I experienced derealization, detachment, stopped really feeling anything about my pets, everything was foggy, looked in the mirror, and knew I was there, but it was almost like it was another person. If that is happening to you, it does go away. Please let me know if this is in fact happening. Have a blessed day.

              I really don't know what's happening, I'm not sure I feel most emotions, I sometimes feel psychosomatic anxiety or so I think. I feel I get too easily distracted and not interested in people or my surroundings sometimes.
              I like alcohol effect, but can you tell me more about your feelings? did you felted glad and then it changed and just didn't know what you are/were feeling?
