Sounds like that might be the case with your mother. My mother is being treated for dissociative disorders (not identity) but it is still scary, especially since we've been dealing with it since we were children (Im 27 and she just got treated) Sometimes she'd do things and not remember doing them.Sometimes they were really really bad things, and she wouldn't remember them. We just thought she didn't care that she had done those things. NO conscious, etc. but that's only part of it. She was found in a state of dissociative fugue a little over a month ago. She tried to run out in front of a car, just getting the heck outta there. She didn't recognize her husband, etc. It was really bad. Might be worth checking in to if it's only getting worse with her.
I myself dissociate and I know when it's happening but nothing I can do about it. I've been this way since I was a child. A way to escape the pain. I'm just starting getting treatment, so I haven't been to a pdoc yet but I know it's coming. I'm prepared to do what it takes.
Anyway, I'm rambling, just wanted to say that I hope that's not the case with your mother, but I know it's quite common, actually. Especially when dealing with childhood trauma.
LOL @ being naked in public. I've had a few of those myself and it wasn't pretty
Take Care.
