All,

Every great once in awhile I disassociate with my surroundings. I would imagine that everyone does it to some degree even if it's only once in their lives. Maybe I should explain what I'm calling disassociation.

For me, it's being in very familiar surroundings with people you've known for a very long time, but everything and everyone seems like you've never seen them before. I hope that's the right description for it.

This has happened to me before, but this time it's exceptionally bad. My lack of recognition is so bad that it has scared me. I took the day off from work. I know my wife and kids, but they seem almost like strangers to me. I took me a very long time to remember where I had the link for this site. Yesterday I logged on in hopes of distracting myself, and wrote a reply to someone (can't remember to who or where) but the reply was about three lines long, and because my hands were shaking so bad. it took over a half hour to write. I'm going to try to answer some posts today and see if that will help me reconnect a little today. The shaking seems to have stopped.

I'm hoping that someone here knows about what I'm going thru, maybe some personal experience, and can share what they've done to work thru this? Any help would be appreciated. I'm posting this to the Health forum too.

Many thanks,
Greg
