Thank You for all the replies, you have given me alot to think about.

I think the following is ok to share.

The reason I started therapy was because I have dissociative amnesia
which caused the depression. I have no recollection of what traumatic event happened to cause it. When the amnesia first occured I didn't even know my hubby (fiance'). But through his love and support I remember him but he is the only person from my past that I do.

I don't remember any of my family, friends or co-workers...I've had to re-learn my way around my city that I've lived in 35 years. In the beginning there was absolutely no memory of even pets, the only thing I knew was my name.

When I first started therapy I was completely withdrawn and shut down.
Trusting my therapist has been difficult for me because a horn honking, a loud dog bark, can make me forget what I've learned temporarily. If I'm out for a walk and I'm not back in a certain amount of time my hubby comes looking for me.

This is why my therapist has been so available because I have forgotten her and we start from the beginning again and than things make sense again pertaining to her.

Her availabilty and familiarity and only knowing my hubby is what I think is helping to contribute to my behavior concerning her. But I wanted a birds eye view from members here.

It was VERY awkward at my wedding with not knowing my family or hubby's family.

I am sorry I didn't answer sooner but I get very depressed and withdrawn because it's hard not knowing your life. I've had to leave my job because of this and I worked there 25 years.

Sorry so long. Bree
