Sometimes I forget who I am. It's not very often and it doesn't last long but it's kind of jarring when it happens!

Just recently on Facebook, I looked at my profile picture by a comment and thought "is that me? Well it's next to my name so I guess so."

Ive had it happen when I look in a mirror and sometimes I get that same feeling when I see my name. I feel a little silly later lol

Does this happen to anyone else?

Something sort of like it happened to me. I used to be a computer programmer. I ran into some stuff on something I thought I never saw before. I was really impressed by how it was put together. I wanted to see who did it. I saw my name and stared at it in disbelieve. At first the name did not register, like I never knew that person. It was like an out of body experience. Like "Twilight Zone". It took me awhile to recognize that it was my name. I could not believe that I had anything at all to do with what I was seeing. It just was not possible. This was code that I could not have possibly written.

I also looked at posts that I made on a stock market website. I knew I used to frequent that site. I saw some from a person I wanted to look up. It turned out to be me. It is as though I was looking at the work of some other person. I do not remember anything about what I posted. The style was different. I am definitely not that eloquent using words that I would not be able to come up with but this person did use. Another out of body type of experience. I am definitely not that knowledgable. Who wrote this stuff? What is going on here? I do not know.

It looks like at one time I was that "other" person. I want to be that person. All I know is that right now I am a mere shadow of that other person, whoever he was.

Then there was that time I had my keys in my hand in the parking lot. All of the sudden I found myself staring at the car and keys in my hand wondering what I was looking at, where am I, and who am I. Another out of body type of experience. I was starting to panic. Fortunately this was a passing episode. Just as fast as this came to me it passed.

I think this has something to do with a type of disassociation episode. Not a happy experience.

Hi Robosuplex,
I have a different forgetting problem that I owe to either my illness (Bipolar Disorder) or the medications I'm on ...Depakote, Abilify,Prozac. I have a complete blank slate for my past. It could be a week ago...a month ago or a year ago and I have no memory of most of what happened. Luckily I have a great brother with a great memory and he helps me alot.

I have that with my voice

I will hear myself talking and I think that can't be me.
