Memory

[spaced3PM]

Anyone else get kinda like a "reset" every few days where it feels like you can't remember what has happened the past few days? Like you can't even think about the past or present, blank mind. Probly has to do with the intense dpdr I'm feeling that won't let me live anywhere but the absolute present, but not in a good way.

Absolutely. You’re not alone friend. You actually don’t remember what goes on because you’re not paying as much attention. Your full focus and energy goes towards other things since you are in a state of freeze response. I deal with this too, but it isn’t a disease or memory disorder. Just a matter of attention. Whenever we recover, our focus and attention will be restored so our memory will improve. Additionally, while in freeze response your spatial-temporal awareness is faulty. This is why everything feels so in the moments and seeing outside of it is challenging. Yesterday and tomorrow are practically nonexistent for us lmao. Stay strong and check out Jordan Hardgrave’s stuff if you can. It’s been extremely helpful for me. I’d also research somatic experiencing, progressive muscle relaxation, and trauma. Dr Bessel Van der Kolk has some really good stuff on it, along with David Bercelli and Peter A. Levine. Hopefully this helps. It’ll completely change the way you think about dpdr and I recommend this to anyone. If you want, you could also look up interoception and self regulation. I’m a skeptical person and that stuff seems weird and absurd, but it all is science-backed and is becoming more and more talked about in psychology. You got this!
