My friend, who is currently an officer in the Armed Forces, had to remind me about a photo that was posted. I totally forgot that, before his officer days, way back when I served as security before enlisting into the Marines, that we used to all hang out together, drink and take the after-party to the barracks where he and other enlistees resided. It's no wonder I recognized the photo that was taken (not of me, but of him, some other people I can't remember, and the side of his barracks).
I asked him where that was taken, and he said, "The barracks; you were there." My unmentioned thought, "I was?" It took me a while to recognize it and wonder why it seemed so familiar. "Oh, that's right, I was," I replied. Having DID means forgetting sometimes, or maybe some sort of strange amnesia when everything gets mushed together. I wonder if I'm even the host sometimes. I faintly remember things - especially before experiencing MST and even thereafter. I forget *good* times, not just traumatic times, which kinda sucks. Anyway, it felt nice to converse with them a bit. I wish I didn't have amnesia or DID. Or whatever memory problems are preventing me from reconnecting with people I knew or once knew but forgot about. |

I don't like seeing people from my past for this reason. I never know what they know about me. I usually don't remember anything they talk about. It brings me face to face with my own amnesia.
I don't know what I don't know. I don't like coming face to face with things that others know about me, but I don't. I don't like coming face to face with my Blank. |

I wish I could remember the good old days. I am now learning about this old friend who is my new friend in my mind. Strange. Brings back my losing time and blacking out days, which is scary. Safe hugs. I am on my cell, so it is too hard for me to deal with emoticons. BTW. |

I can so relate to this! Something similar happened to me when a friend from my teen years posted a picture of her wedding and it popped up on my Facebook feed. I had a “knowledge” that I was in her wedding, but I had no real memory of it. I still don’t even though I have tried to go back and find it. When I saw the picture on my computer screen I didn’t know what to think! I looked at the picture and there was a bridesmaid that I thought was me. There was another one that had a shirt on that looked vaguely familiar and I didn’t know who that person was. It was a really strange feeling. I was more curious to find out who that person was. I struggled with it for a while and finally decided to message my friend and ask her who that person was. We hadn’t been in contact for decades and I didn’t know what she would think. It turned out, the person I thought was me in the picture wasn’t me and the person in the shirt that looked familiar was me. It’s such a weird feeling to know, and see, that I was there but have no recall of it and obviously couldn’t pick myself out of the picture. We were really good friends and there’s just nothing there. __________________ "What is denied, cannot be healed." - Brennan Manning "Hope knows that if great trials are avoided, great deeds remain undone and the possibility of growth into greatness of soul is aborted." - Brennan Manning |
