I am always coming across people I know that I don't remember actually meeting. people come up to me all the time and talk to me and I stand there talking but thinking "ok how can I ask this person their name without letting on that I was probably dissociated when I met them and now have no idea who they are. I also have trouble recognizing people that I know in one situation but out of that situation I draw a blank. One day recently this woman came up to me in the grocery store and started talking to me and during the conversation, and about 5 minutes into the conversation it dawned on me that this was someone from a depression management group I had been in and I had said in the group that I had no problem with group members coming up to me out in public. Boy was I embarrassed when she finally said - you have no idea who I am do you laughing. I told her she looks familiar and knows my name so I knew we knew each other but names dont stick in my head. She laughed and told me her name and where we had met.

DID a real joy sometimes. LOL
