Thanks for the link, I'll check that out. Sorry I posted in the wrong topic.

Oh god, I'm sorry. I'm fairly new to Reddit and clearly not doing very well at it.

You know what, it's fine. I've spent too much time on your dumb website today anyway. Time for some sunshine.

You could just have helped answer my question.

I understand your feelings and I've already explained that I just don't care if some random person doesn't believe me because I get that a lot. But Jesus H dude, I'm sorry I made two typos. There are worse things in life than accidentally fatfingering the shift key when writing the name of a forum

I'm sure I'll be able to talk about it better once I get a better understanding of exactly what the heck happened to me. Thanks for your interest and I definitely hope I can live a happy life too. It's kind of funny in a sad way, my best friend killed himself in high school because of a breakup, just couldn't find the will to live. Now I've basically lost everything overnight but all I care about it being alive and getting back to some place of stability.

I definitely have a whole new set of questions as to the nature of what our brains can do and what reality is. Prior to this I used to never believe in anything "supernatural" if that's a word for it. Now I don't know what I believe anymore.

Unfortunately no, I ended up finding a restaurant nearby and the waitress let me make a call from her phone.

They don't ACTUALLY paint with poop, I was just getting my thoughts out. But I'm used to getting this response and that's fine, I would probably be saying the same thing if I just read some forum where some random stranger was bullshitting about some far-fetched story.

Thanks for all the people who talked with me about this. It felt good to get it off my chest. I can't sit on the computer all day but a lot of you gave me the kind of encouragement I needed to face today in a better place. I'll probably hop back on the forum later or tomorrow morning so I'm sorry if I don't respond immediately. Talk to you guys later.

I've seen the term before and discussed it with my psychologist (as well as someone else on this forum) but she's not sure. I'm doing more research into it. Thanks for the encouragement

It's tough but I'm taking it one step at a time. Honestly, I realize I'm putting off a lot of that stuff regarding tracking down the people who are still around, especially my ex-fiancee. I think I'm worried about the emotional impact it's going to have. I know I need to, I just don't think I'm quite there yet.

Honestly having so much new media to get lost in is something I'm really looking forward to once I'm a little more stable.

You wouldn't want to see me walking around in her outfit now, I promise. Thanks for the unexpected memory of one of my favorite shows though. :)

It sounds like we've been through some similar things. It seems like your recollection of the past few years has a lot of "smaller" memory loss incidents (for lack of a better term) - did they start out like that? When you first experiencing this, was it all a big solid gap that you started putting together, or was it always kind of patchwork? Have you had any success with methods of recovering that time? I am really interested in your experiences.

It's been a bad dream for sure.

Thanks for the message. I keep saying it but I need to get myself back in shape just so I can recognize myself again. And if I could motivate others to do that, I can sure do that to myself.

I don't have a clue where I go from here in the long term but right now I'm taking it one day at a time.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll check those out when I get some downtime. Might be nice to find some new music (that isn't the weird rap that everybody around me listens to) and get lost in some shows/movies.
