Yes coffee,

My short and long-term memory is really poor! Under the 10th percentile on the left and right sides of my brain (in the hippocampus, which organizes memories). I didn't realize that this issue was very common for those with BPD and PTSD!

I do have a history of dissociating, as a child and as an adult. As a child, the situations became very dream-like and strange, but not scary thankfully. As an adult, my dissociation feels surreal. I feel very removed from myself as I talk and move around. Very difficult to describe the sensation! Not real scary, in my experience, but it is uncomfortable as I hear the words coming out of my mouth ~ but my brain feels inaccessible.

Thanks for bringing this topic up, as the events aren't uncommon with us. But we don't discuss them very often in here.
