I would like to say in advance that I'm not a 14 year old troll but I'm 20 years old and if necessary I write my full name and address here if it is taken seriously, this question is asked with 100% seriousness.
The whole thing happened last night. Unfortunately, I only experienced it via the voice chat on the playstation.
Although she is my neighbor, we initially took it as a kind of fun.
Everything was normal, we spoke normally and played a racing game. And suddenly she was exchanged. Her voice was somehow no longer the same (but also not as pretended)
Suddenly she was completely arrogant and in love with herself, which she is by no means otherwise. And just spoke in that other voice.
She suffers from psychologically certified severe depression and takes the antidepressant citalopram.
We then confronted her personally today with the recordings that we made on the playstation and she said that it was definitely NOT her. Because she would never be like that or talk like that.
On top of that she was extremely scared and spoke insultingly or scolded at the person who heard her speaking in the recording.
Now my question can anyone here who really has a clue have anything to say to me? What could have been the behavior?
I'm 1000% sure that she doesn't joke or prank.
Maybe she is suffering from dissociation
has she experienced psychological trauma?
I have already thought about the dissociation.
However, it was the only time that ever happened. Never before, never after, and I have been living so closely in their environment for several years that you would have noticed if there was anything else.
Especially since I always paid special attention to their mental health due to the depression.
However, I don't know much about dissociation either. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited to depression.
Could you possibly tell me a little more about this?
And there haven't really been any traumatic moments in the past few days
I meant trauma from the past
I can only guess
The first thing I did was look up the medication, because I'm an old victim of medication myself. Let's say she wasn't in the toilet in between and her sister or mother talked to you briefly and she really was herself, then her medication would be the first thing I suspected. There are also very frightening side effects, which can even be life-threatening, as you can read here https://www.apotheken-umschau.de/Medikamente/Citalopram-Wirkung-und-Nebenwirkungen-530067.html If she does not remember herself, but it actually was, I would classify it as confused and her behavior, as you describe it, was very irritated. Then all you have to do is ask her if she has had any of the other symptoms and then go to the doctor to stop doing the stuff if it really was an early stage serotonin syndrome. The second would be that she has strong mood swings due to her mental problems and simply forgets things when stressed. I do that myself sometimes. But first I would like to clarify very thoroughly whether it can be a side effect because this serotonin syndrome can also be fatal. And if you reread the side effects here https://www.onmeda.de/Wirkstoffe/Citalopram/nebenwirkungen-medikament-10.html, it catches the eye that memory disorders are part of it. So I would have something else prescribed if I were her.
So for the majority of her normal symptoms I'm aware that I'm her closest caregiver. Also because of the depression and co. If what is, I'm almost the first to find out about it.
I also know the side effects for your medication, some of them are really creepy.
However, apart from memory problems, there have never been any more serious side effects.
Is it also possible that the side effect only appears now? Barely 2 years after she started taking this?
Is it possible that we may continue to write a private message?
Yes, write me a friend request
So there are a few symptoms that could be other side effects. However, these are "everyday things" such as changes in the appetite and co
I have never taken any psychiatric drugs, but I once took an allergy medication, because when I tried the second pack I got blood in the urine and had to be stopped immediately. And I also think your girlfriend is likely to have more side effects than she thinks. She should read it through in peace and check the things that seem familiar to her, especially on the second page, which is quite detailed. I also researched my chemo there. From experience I can say that the liver / kidney / heart / psyche can take a certain amount of substances until something becomes noticeable. Then at the latest you should force the doctor to prescribe another drug. For example, my mother always had knee joint pain and everyone thought it needed surgery, but after switching to another high blood pressure medication, the pain went away.
The important thing is that you rule out that she doesn't have this serotonin syndrome.
Maybe a multiple personality disorder from trauma.
