Maniae, I have had similar experiences countless times. The tears start flowing and I feel as though I've lost someone or something, yet there's no cause for the emotion. And the forgetting of what you were doing for a certain period of time...this has happened to me a lot.
I don't know the whole situation, but it seems you may have depression. Do you visit a therapist? Take medication? When I am on antidepressants, the dissociation and the uncontrollable sadness are in check. Perhaps it would work for you as well.
Best of luck. Let us know how you're doing.

I want to be normal but I no longer have emotions of a normal nature.
I went outside to walk the dog then a strong feeling of sadness overloaded my brain. I came back in, sat down, and started to mourn & cry. But why? I'm not 100% sure. We walked 4 houses down then back home. What happened between that time? I honestly don't know.

The dog didn't do anything. No one was outside, one vehicle passed us. So what caused the shift in my emotions? I was initially excited to get some air & exercise.

Now I am sitting here crying & trying to pinpoint my sadness.

The night city grows
Look at the horizon glow
Drinking in the lights
Following the neon signs
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in blinding twilight...
