Aaron is my deceased brother, now why would that come out of my mouth? For me, I believe my substance abuse problems are totally to blame. I hope you can find out something my friend, and just keep hanging on. Remember the Uncle on "Its a wonderful Life!", who had strings attatched to his fingers so he could remember things? It seems he had something like what you are describing, although it never mentioned what it was except that he was "Absent-minded". Update us with what you find out and good luck.

Thanks. I had a similar situation where I fell into a daydream and referred to daydream person in reall convo! You can guess the reaction of my company. I was so embarassed! And totally confused as to why I couldn't remember that it was a daydream. Then I was confused why I was daydreaming, because I normally never do that. I have a dull imagination lol.
Btw, your sig pic is adorable. I love rats

Good luck & I agree that meds aren't the answer when you see some family physician for five minutes who gives you the little depression handout & a script for Zoloft...

Many of the symptoms I read were similar to mine, but not all. I am wary of self-diagnoses, though.
The fact that all this is escalating so rapidly is what scares me. I was fine three months ago, now all of the sudden I get lost in my own house, can't remember my name, think fiction is reality, shaking and dizzy, ect. I'm a pretty dull person... i don't take pills, weed, alcohol and haven't had any head injuries at all.
The Er said I was physically fine, they even did a CT scan. I'm completely lost and the anticipation for my doc appointment is driving me batty.
