I drove my husband there 4 times but I was daydreaming and if he asked me to drive him there today, I would not know where it was.
Yes, I am creative, imaginative, poet, dreamer and artist, so very right brained....but I am also bipolar 1, with rapid and mixed cycling and sometimes psychosis. Also panic, and gad. I have been dxed with dissociative tendancies but I don't remember when.
I thought a fugue state was driving to another town and not knowing why you were there or how you got there. I have yet to do that.
Anyone here have bipolar with dissociative disorder or fugue states?

I remember reading about dissociative here on the site. There should be a specific thread for it actually, fyi. So you may want to poke around and see as that might help you out way more.
If you go to Conditions up top bar on the left, you should be able to find it there and then read up more. I don't think this is a fugue state. But it is a part of the disorder I do believe if memory serves me correct.
Good luck.
