Along with this i feel no connection to many things and people that i should. I remember their faces, vague details of them, but i dont feel connected or that i ever was. Its hard to even remember what i wore or did yesterday. And the things im trying to remember today but cant, could be sharp memories tomorrow. And things i can remember today, could be foggy or gone tomorrow.

I feel like im going crazy, feel like im going to lose my memory all together one day. I dont know what to think about this, it worries me.
I am sorry you feel like that. I have some of the same issues. I was told to write in a journal. The only problem with that is that some of us don't write or don't want to write in a journal. The longest journal I had was almost six months. It never worked for me. When I started with my present t she said it was ok if I emailed her with my thoughts. I have been doing that for two plus years. Not every day, not even every week, but when ever I felt like I needed to hold on to a thought or I was in a panic. The other day I went back and read some of the emails I sent her. I couldn't get through all of them because I started to get triggered. But I never would have kept that stuff in a journal or written it down when I was going through it. Maybe your t will let you send emails when you have something on your mind. I think it helps with the communication between my t and is a history of my thoughts for me. I hope this helps. Feel better.
