I was hospitalized for a month some time ago with, for instance, no change in clothes. I was totally unprepared. I remember the first couple days, some of the people that I met, and some of the activities there. But I do not remember almost all of my stay. I do not remember having eaten anything at all, ever having taken a shower, what I wore, and I only remember one or two nights where I slept. There must have been a cafeteria there, and showers, and changes in clothes, but i remember none of this. I simply do not remember what I did for most of that month in the hospital. It is a blank in my mind.
Has this happened to you?

Could it have been a medication change ? I know a few meds in the past that I tried literally made me lose huge spans of time and left me wondering what I had been doing .
Im sorry that this happened to you

By the way, that time in my life which I do not remember costed $100,000 back in the 1980s. I should be able to remember more than how much it cost. LOL

I've been many times, some I remember and some I don't. Usually if I'm in for severe depression I don't remember as much. The last time in April I don't rmemeber the first day because I was zonked on Ativan and zyprexa and paranoid out of my mind. But I rmemeber it after that. The one I forget the most of was when I had ECT. I was there for seven weeks and I only remember bits and pieces. But that was the ECT.
I think meds and severe stress can work together to wipe memories out.

Usually in the extremes of my episodes I have memory blanks when I come back down. All of my hospitalizations have been during extreme manias or depressions and I don't remember a lot of it. I never remember visits - last year I accused my mom and sister of not having come visit me during stay number 3, but they had and it took me almost a year to remember, so one of my friends gave me a "guestbook" during stay number 4 so visitors could sign and I would remember they came.

I do remember the last time. I had only the gown after being in the whole. I didn't want to cry, I didn't want to admit to friends and family where I had ended up again. I do remember I was sad to leave though. It was a bubble of a world where people understood me.
