Trigger warning (Losing memory)

[dbeck128]

Hey everyone I just wanna take it on here and vent a little bit. I was talking about losing my memory & was new for me because I am used to holding my problems in.....

but last night when we were coming home from my cousins (my bf & I) I really felt like I did not know where I was and didn't know who was around me or who I was. I have been told this is depersonalization/derelazation and I just need some reassurance.

I read a few forums that said the same thing that it was anxiety and depression and that it will pass but honestly I feel like I'm getting all timers at the age of 23 and I fucking hate it. I feel like I'm always going to have depression so my memory will never get any better.

I can never tell when these attacks are coming, like the feeling of amnesia or whatever. I eventually snap out of it. But I cant stand this. Has anyone had similar experiences--? Did it get better?

I'm 49 and feel too much of my memory has gone. I cannot imagine being 23. Hope you get what you need before it's too late love. Myself too.

You are not alone. The past few weeks have been difficult for me in the same way. I find myself searching for data that’s normally on the tip of my tongue and feeling unreal. It’s anxiety and if I keep reminding myself of that it eventually passes. It’s annoying but just one of the many weird symptoms I experience. Just go with it😊

I read online there's a specific name for this. Dissacotive disorder? It explains exactly everything I stated above. Good to know its just a symptom of depression and anxiety!

Girl my best friend blacks out from her DP/DR. I didn’t know what she meant by “blackouts” and thought she meant she fainted? But nope. She couldn’t remember. It’s common. I’ve never experienced that thing but, when we watch movies and we see somebody go through trauma and they say “I don’t remember what happened”, it’s the adrenaline causing the blackout.

The forgetting where you are is 100% DP/DR. Probably more DR? I have felt this so many times in the last month. It is WILD.
