Earth Mama,

This is SO FAMILIAR. I go through this a lot of the time. I'm especially aware of it sometimes in counseling. Things happen and I am fully co-conscious at the time - but later on, things feel faded and distant and some things are just gone.

I also get this way in the area of intimacy with spouse. No TMI, here, but this area is difficult for me due to past abuse and so I am there at the time and later it is like a dream or even gone. I get creeped out by this, but I don't know what to do about it if anything even can be done.

I think sometimes I do switch back and forth in the day, but it's not obvious to me at the time. It used to get me into lots of trouble, when I couldn't remember things. It seems like movies and things I watch on tv disappear and later it is like I can watch it all over again and it seems new - except for a few bits and pieces.

I don't know if this is a good thing, bad thing or just a thing that happens. I do know it is real, because it happens to me too.
