okay,
i somehow lost three hours tonight. i was out eating with a friend and i remember her dropping me off at my apartment and then the next thing i know i am curled up in bed in a robe. my boyfriend had called four times and pounded on the door and i didn't hear a thing. i have had this happen before. what is this? is it some form of dissociation?i must have been in the shower b/c my hair was wet. but i don't remember anything. this is very frightening!!! i have been under a lot of stress lately, feeling very empty and generally dysphoric. but losing hours at a time is not right. anybody have similar experiences?

Hi there Smokey. Yeah, it sounds like dissociation to me. You said that you are feeling really stressed at the moment, that might have quite a lot to do with it.
It sounds like it happened in a safe place though (at home) and if you were in the shower then it would make sense that you didn't hear your boyfriend try to contact you.
I get this a fair bit. It is scarey, huh. I am sorry, I don't know what else to say. Can you think back to the last thing you remember. I mean, did something happen to stress you out that little bit more, or did you think of something that freaked you out?

Could it have been a black-out? A couple of times this happened to me because of a combination of ad's (Anafranil) and a glass of wine. It is a terrifying experience to lose track and yet know you have been busy doing things without any consciousness of what you were doing. I found myself in a very compromising situation with a group of men on one occasion, and on another I went through a complete modelling shoot so that I have photographic evidence of what I was doing. I have never known such a feeling of panic.

i am feeling much better today. just a slight headache. yeaterday, before it happened, i had taken 2 mg of Klonopin and went out to eat with a friend. i don't remember all of the conversation, but i do know that she was having a lot of problems with guys. i think that something she said must have set me off. and as soon as i got to my "safe" place (home) i shut down. i do remember wanting to get home very badly.
this is something i will definitely have to talk over w/ my hterapist on Wednesday. thanks for your support!
