But sometimes, almost always when I'm extremely triggered/traumatized I find evidence of having done little things that I have zero memory of doing.

This afternoon I checked my email and found an email from a hair stylist in a town about 15 miles from here. She was giving me possible times for appointments. Then there came 2 more emails from 2 other salons.

I was basically horrified and seriously shaken up. I had already set up an appointment yesterday with my regular stylist, who I've been seeing for at least 5 years. I adore her and we get on really well. Plus, her shop is only 1/4 mile from my apartment.

But there it was...around 8:45 this morning I apparently messaged 3 salons to ask for an appointment. The embarrassing thing was that 1 of the messages was to a woman who did my hair 6 years ago and I had complained to her because she didn't give me the color we had agreed on. No way would I ask to make an appt. with her!

I have no connection to those messages except the replies I got. Once, after an especially bad situation I awoke in the morning and found that during the night I had rearranged jewelry and some other small objects I had in my and David's bedroom.

I guess the best comparison is that it's like sleepwalking (which I did as a child).

Anyway, the point of this rambling post is just that I'm shaken up about receiving those emails. It's so embarrassing and I feel like a freak.

Well, I'm going to bed. Love to each of you

Can you check your sent mail and see what you wrote them?
