Re: Blanking – the forgotten symptom?

[Anonymous]

filmbuff, I don’t lose things (usually) because I am obsessive about putting things in the same place. When I lose things, they are really lost.

I can go from one room to the next and totally forget why I’m there. I go back to ‘the scene of the crime’ too. I can’t remember conversations that my husband and I said we’ve had (that totally works against me, he can say we talked about it, thankfully I think he’s usually honest).

I always thought it was bad memory, if I don’t act on a thought right away, I will lose it by the time I go to the other room to act on it, or go to write it down, or go to speak it. The thought of blanking out puts a different spin on it.
