I've decided to say something about what I've been feeling the past 2 days. I think I will just let my T know my past, but ever since I seriously considered this I've felt sick to my stomach, intense migraines and memory problems.

Like yesterday I went to work did all the work and everything and didn't realize til after work that I was at the wrong location. Now today I'm at work walking around thinking I have what I need for the day, end up on the other side of the building with nothing. No idea how I got there or where my stuff for the job is. Just blank.

Does anyone else feel this or know why?

Maybe you experience dissociation? In some cases, if you are really stressed this can happen. For sure it's worth to talk about it with your T (and you can google more information about dissociation to see if you have also other symptoms)...

This sounds like serious dissociation.

I've always wondered but never talked about it. It's fine to talk here, I don't know anyone here and no one knows me. But god does my head hurt.

It would probably explain a lot of thing in my past, I can think of quite a few things. I used to think it was just because I was drunk or stoned but I haven't done any of that in yes. I'm just confysed

Sounds like really bad pre-occupation with what you'll tell T, etc. and anxiety. I remember when I would have a really intense session with T and would be driving home and drive right by my exit and panic (Where am I? How do I get home? How did I get here?). Everyone dissociates (what happens when you "get into" a really good book and are not aware of time passing and your surroundings or you are driving to work, arrive and don't remember how you got there, etc.) and when you get something that intense going on that has you making mistakes when you don't want to (upsets your "autopilot" even :-) then you need to calm yourself down some; tell yourself that you will not tell your therapist everything all at once but will just discuss X subject/incident this session and not worry about what might/might not happen after that until after that and so on.
