Whenever it get really upset, my mind has a tendancy of dissassociating. That is basically a way for your mind to attempt to protect itself. The best way to describe it is the feeling you get when you have a head-cold...you're there but not really; you're look at everything impersonally, from a distance, and your mind as well as your body are numb everywhere. When this happens, it affects my memory big-time. I have gigantic gaps in my memory...sometimes several months at a time.
