I have a bad memory. I forget little and big things. But
there have been times I am sure I experienced amnesia. The
most memorable moment (and why do I remember this when not
other things???) Is that of driving home from Wal-Mart one
night 1 1/2 years ago (around that time frame). I guess I
was daydreaming. When I 'came to' I had no idea where I was,
where I had been, why I was in a car, etc. I did not panic.
I looked around and did not recognize a thing around me.
That light seemed to stay red a long time, too. I'm not sure
I would have known my name if someone had been there and
asked me. Mostly this goes unnoticed. But I have arrived at
work and had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I
would get a cup of coffee and pretend nothing was wrong.....
until I remembered. It began when I was 25 years old and had
a short phase where I drank very heavily. But only on the
weekends. Whole conversations (during the week) that
morning, I could not
mine can come over and she will have to remind me she had
been at my house three days before and we'd had a long
conversation. She will have to remind me I already told her
what I am telling her now. Sometimes I cannot recall it at
all. Sometimes I may have a flash of memory that it did
happen, but no details. I am now 37 years old and have no
health problems that I know of. It should be noted that I
have a history of panic attacks and anxiety and four times
in my life have had auditory hallucinations. But I knew what
they were while occurring and had been under emotional
stress as well as damn near no sleep! What could be wrong
with me? And why is this happening?
