Last weekend I had spent in a state of transient amnesia. Which means that I was operating without obtaining any memory of what I had done . the two main incidents were first, chopping 6 inches off my hair and later taking money from the atm with nothing to account for it. I've been ok (whatever that means) since the money incident, but it seems my amnesia tends to happen when I'm doing things that I know I shouldn't be, things that aren't in my best interest. My question is : am I causing myself to forget becaus I'm selective, or is it a neurological issue. Is it a coping mechanism or physical illness. It is a horrible feeling and I want it to stop forever. Any chance someone else has experienced anything simular?

not quite right, I don't know what is causing your amnesia but I think it is important enough to go see a doctor or therapist. Only they can really get to the root of the problem. I don't want to guess as that would not really help you. You could have a disorder that you do not know about such as dissociation but only a professional can really start to get to the root cause of your distress. I wish you the best and let us know if you find any answers.

It could be drug related. Have you started a new one lately?

No, same meds as usual. I went inpatient hair cutting and was determined to not be dangerous to myself or others. My shrink says the illness itself has no medicinal cure and I need to start therapy, which since I can't drive is difficult. I feel out of control and it's not a feeling I'm accustomed to and I need to deal, but not sure how.

I would demand the doctors do a physical MRI scan of the brain if I was experiencing episodes of amnesia. They should be looking at your brain physically with this kind of symptom, not just mentally, and if they aren't, then I suggest finding a new doctor who will actually run brain scan tests to see if your brain is physically okay.
