Something really strange and scarey happened to me yesterday. I knew I had to go out and was not able to find anyone to drive me. So all morning long I talked to myself telling me I could do this I use to drive all the time. The scarey thing is I do not remeber anything from 10am untill 3pm. I woke up at 3 and was confused as to how I had even gotten into bed. I came out into the living room and the bills that I was to pay were gone. I went out to the barn and the animals were put away and there was a fresh bale of hay. I looked around the house and my Library book was gone (it was one of the things I was gonna do as I was finished with it) and there were clean clothes in my drawers. I called my friend where I had had my laundry and she told me I had picked them up from there house. Apparantly I had driven myself all around town and don't remember doing it. I'm really kind of scared cause I don't know what's going on. Mel has told me I do strange things that I am not aware of like cleaning house and cooking in the middle of the night but this is the first time in over 20 years I've lost time totally. Kind of scared any ideas what's going on??

I am sure that's scary for you, Keitha. Just reading it makes me kind of worried. These things can happen. I can't diagnose because that's something best

Wow, Keitha, this definitely warrants a call & a trip to the doc. I've heard of it happening, get it checked out. Sometimes I space out and then I wonder what just happened or how did I get here, or whatever, but not for hours. The stress of Mel being gone must be getting to you. Call the doc & post what happens, ok??

Hi Keitha, It's your friend, Shasta, here! I am SO sorry that happened to you.
I have to echo what Jan and SheriAnn said,I hope you will call the doctor, if you haven't already, and tell them what happened. I have had the same feeling SheriAnn described too, but it was only for a brief moment or a few minutes max, it has never been for that long a period of time. Please post Thursday and let us know how you are doing and feeling. My prayers and thoughts are with you. <3
love, shasta

Thanks ladies.....I go to my therapist tomorrow then Sat I have to take some medication papers to the doctors office so I'll talk with them then. I'm almost afraid to find out what's happening I don't think I can take anymore bad news but one step at a time right. Mel isn't back yet and I haven't told her cause she doesn't need anything more on her plate right now she needs to get things straight up there so she won't have to leave here again. The last couple nights I had a friend stay with me cause I was kind of afraid to be alone which is one reason I didn't make it to chat Tues. Trying to stay busy and been going to bed real early trying to make the days pass by a little quicker. Strangest thing is on the whole I thought I was dealing with everything pretty well. The anxiety is there but not as bad as I feared it would be. I'm just praying this was one of those fluck things and won't happen again.

Keitha the experience you had was a real one and that concerns me. I am glad that you will be talking with your doctor and T about this. You said it hadn't happened in over twenty years did it used to happen? Being totally stressed can do strange things to the mind! You were already stressed by the fact you had to drive. But only your doctor who knows your history can possibly make an assumption of what happened.


Sincerely,


Julie


P.S. Keep us informed!

Julie, I use to lose track of times in the past when I would be confronted with situations or stresses I didn't know how to deal with. There are parts of my past I really can not remember at all. It all kind of started when I was around 18 or 19 years of age. Strange isn't it. I've always been afraid to tell anyone for fear they would think I was really "crazy" (for lack of a better word). I'm even amazed that I opened up to the group about it I must feel as if I'm in a loving and caring community. The only other person I've ever told was Mel. I'm not real sure how to bring it up to my therapist but I'm sure gonna try.
