I have been experiencing “blackouts” where I have been defending myself from threats. Diagnosis?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have recently been experiencing these "blackouts" where I am known to defend myself. This could be in any shape or form, for example about five or six years ago I almost fell off a cliff. I remember free climbing it and not really knowing what I was doing and then the next minute I am on the ground clutching a wound in pain. This also happened a few weeks ago when I remember a kid giving me s**t at my school. I tried walking off. Next minute he is on the ground in pain and my friend asking me what the hell I was doing. He told me that this kid had tried to run up and punch me in the head until I dodged his punch and grabbed him and beat the living hell out of him. He had to have a face reconstruction along with a cast on his arm because I broke it. He no one ever found out that I did it and he never told anyone. Between these two events I've also had two others. **Has anyone ever had this or has diagnosed this??

    You need to see someone regarding this because if you are committing acts of violence and not remembering or being conscious of doing it then that's a big problem, you could kill someone next time.

    I am surprised he didn't report you for doing it either because even though you said he was going to attack you it turns out you where no better than him.

    See your GP ASAP and get professional help.

    I don't think your in UK or probably very old so possibly you need to tell your parents about it too

      I was surprised too when I found out as it turns out that he wants to get back at me. I've told him that we should just stay away from each other as it will do him harm and and hopefully he rethinks the idea of trying to bash me. I want to see a GP but I also don't want to become vulnerable. Without my condition I am defenseless, but at the same time I one day could get confused as to if they were gonna hurt me and kill someone. I don't want innocent blood on my hands, or any blood for that matter. I also live in a rural community within 100 KM's away from our state capital so the GP in my area might not know much about this kind of stuff. I'll try get it sorted but instead of curing it I want to control it as I am scared of being defenseless, especially in my area.
