Panic Attacks Support Group

I lost time again. I was just talking to a friend and she referenced a convorsation we had earlier this week that I DON'T REMEMBER HAVING. That's a super bad level of anxiety, and this kinda scares me. Guess it's time to revisit anti anxiety medication with my doctor......

Or it can be a simple, of I forgot moment, when you were doing something else.

This is what its like being a guy

Irish, Maybe you have just had a bunch of stuff on your mind lately and you have been pre-occupied? You know what I mean? Don't be so hard on yourself. Nobody is perfect and we all forget things. Hang in there Irish!

yeah, she said we only talked for a few minutes......so I didn't lose TOO much time, but still losing time at all is kinda scary.

Oh Dear Irish I am so sorry you are having this problem.

I lose time after seizures.

Is this a possibility?

It is just a thought.

I don't want to scare you.

Seizures used to scare me but not anymore.

Definitely talk to your doctor about it.

Well Irish when i take my Ativan there are frequently things I don't remember, cause that's the nature of the drug. Could it be something like that ?

Hey Irish you know what I have had those memory loss moments before. For example I will go into the other room to grab something and totally be blank on what the heck I was going to grab. Or I will go to the fridge and totally forget what I am getting.

It's the nature of the anxiety beast don't get too upset about it... I think we all have those forgetful moments when we're anxious. Having a lot going on all at once also add to it.

I can so relate to Amy's story of going to the other room or standing in front of the fridge and forgetting what you were after. I do that all the time.... it's frustrating but I've learned to just laugh it off

I also sometimes totally blank out when thinking of a word..

Irish, It happens to me a lot too!! My therapist explained to me and like Conn said its all part of the anxiety in us. I lose my train of thought a lot and forget what I was talking about. I was at the doctor on Friday and she asked for my co pay payment....so I think I gave her my credit card but I gave her my insurance card and she looks at me weird! Lol. I'm like "oh, sorry it's been one of those days!!". I do things like that where I get confused and forgtful.

I do have a lot going on right now, so your right, it's probably just the anxiety got too bad. I do hate losing time though, makes me feel nuts, lol.
