My Mamaw was old school, I cannot even begin to tell you the skills this lady had. I was around 8 years old, when my abuse started and apparently so did the amnesiatic dissociative disorder. She would have been approaching her mid seventies, and they had a group that got together called a quilting Bee. Apparently while she and two of the members of her quilting Bee were in her kitchen sewing and working. I had one of these things. I had no idea what had happened, but the kitchen they were in, here comes my little 8yo bottom, and she had a large trash can sitting beside the refrigerator. I apparently walked walked in the kitchen to this trash can, in front of these three old women, and promptly took a whizz in the trash can. She told me about it later and was laughing a great deal over it. She thought I was sleepwalking. What she found so funny was that one of the ladies in her quilting Bee was named Anna B., almost everyone down here had two names back then. She apparently told the other ladies, I would surely never have a problem finding a wife. Oh my gosh, that was 45 years ago and I still find it embarassing.
your title - Amnesiatic Dissociative Disorder

question - do you mean Dissociative Amnesia?
Reason I ask is because there is no disorder in either the diagnostic manual DSM 5 TR nor the ICD 11 called Amnesiatic Dissociative Disorder and never was in past versions, so I am making a guess that you mean Dissociative Amnesia.

your post doesn't include asking a question. this is the dissociative disorders forum board so I'm wondering if you are looking for information on Dissociative Amnesia. if so....

if you read diagnostic manuals there are many different kinds of dissociative amnesia, each with its own symptoms, problems and behaviors. for example, retrograde, systematized, localized, retrospective, generalized and many more.

dissociative amnesia is not long term or forever like the physical traumatic brain injury kind of amnesia. by that I mean the memories do eventually return most within the first year after the traumatic situation some may take a bit longer.

Dissociative amnesia is a response to a traumatic situation, most times when the traumatic situation is resolved the memories return.

Dissociative amnesia, all forms, have a common set of publicly accessible diagnostic criteria and information. that can be found in the DSM 5 TR pages 337-343

all forms of dissociative amnesia also have their own more private criteria, symptoms, problems and behaviors listings too that can only be gotten and discussed in therapy as it pertains directly to your own situations.

These are the deeper not found by media-based (books, movies, google, forums, groups and so on) ways things for example the hows, whats wheres whens whys, durations and more that is covered by mental health privacy and confidentiality standards.

my suggestion, contact your mental health treatment providers, let them know this situation still causes you problems and they can help you on a more personal level.
