Concerned about mental health

So lately I've been concerned with my mental health. My memory has been terrible lately, and I've been forgetting a lot of words and phrases. Also, this is weird, but sometimes I almost forget where I am, like if I'm sitting in my room in the dark while on my computer, I'll think, "Where am I?" Then I'll remember, "Oh, I'm in my room." Or once I was biking on my exercise bike and I forgot where I was also, then I remembered soon after. Also I've been struggling with my gender (I'm biologically female), like sometimes I'll think I'm a guy stuck in a female body, then others I'll have thoughts of being a girl stuck in a male body, even though my body is female.. This confuses me so much somtimes. I've tried to tell my mom my concerns with my forgetfulness, but she doesn't seem to think anything's wrong with me. I'm not sure if this is important, but my doctor recently put me on Abilify for mood swings. So maybe it's the medication? Or maybe I'm just going crazy? Ugh, either way, I need some feedback, I feel as if I'm going nuts.

I think you should have a talk with your doctor about the way your feeling as they are the only ones qualified to be able to tell you what is going on. It could be a side affect of the medication or it could be a sign of dissociation. As often you lose time when you are dissociated and are unsure of where you are. Or it could be something else but that is why it is important to talk to your doctor. Take care
