What happened to Trendy Blanks?

Has this ever happened to you? Is it some sort of a hallucination?

  • Have you ever thought that you didn't do something & then when you go to do it you find out that you did it but you have no memory of it? For ex, a few nights ago I was in bed & thought I forgot to turn the computer off & I went to go do so & found it was already off, even though I don't remember doing it. This happens w/ a lot of things for me; maybe it's only absentmindedness?? But it feels too recurrent to be that way? Do people with short term memory problems usually have "blanks" in their day? Also sort of related is often I'll have a dream & next day when I wake up I act like the dream actually happened. Ex:I'll dream about having an argument with a friend & the next day I'll be avoiding her thinking we're angry w/ ea. other. But then we talk later & I find that what happened in my dream wasn't reality, even though I thought it was. Normally I would dismiss this, but this has happened quite often & it's really freaking me out. Is this normal? Does it happen to you?

in your life you have a time line. If you were trying to remember everything that's happened and going to happen your bound to have lapse's. A algebra teacher told our class that once

Yes, as everyone else has said this can be normal, and/or it could be a side effect of your meds. I often get side effects that are not expected. Those things have happened to the majority of people so don't panic. If you are unwell that can make the memory thing worse. The last ime I was sick I forgot things like my address (great when you have to ask your children in front of a police officer!!) and the most BASIC of things. This is because your body is putting effort into getting better and can't be bothered putting your thoughts straight at the same time. Maybe this is a sign that you just need MORE SLEEP. Also drink lots of water, dehydration can mess with thought processes too. Take care!

It's absentmindedness. Happens to me all the time. It happens most often with things that you do out of habit and therefore don't even realize that we're doing them. Sometimes I have to check 2 or 3 times to make sure I've done one specific thing.

Firstly, get off that damn Psych drug. It'll do nothing but harm. Now depending on how long you have been taking it, you may have to ween yourself off it. If only for a short time, stop taking it. If for some time, take less and less each time you are supposed to until you can stop. Most likely all this is a side-effect of that damned drug! Too many times are simple dietary lackings said to be some form of mental illness. Thats why we have such an "epidemic" of mental illnesses - mis-diagnosis. In actual fact we have an epidemic of poor nutrition and diet. Just go and get a full medical checkup from you local GP. Specifically, you want the doctor to check for levels of B12, Selenium and Zinc to ensure you have enough. You also want him to check for excess levels of aluminium. Each of these can affect memory. Make sure you are getting the Omega3 fatty acids your body needs, too. As for the dreams; take a supplement of Vitamin B1 (300 - 500 mg) with 1000mg of Calcium. That will sort out the dreams for you and you will get a good nights' sleep. .

Been there, done that. You need rest, and possibly a vacation.

It seems as if you're just handling a lot of stuff and once and you are probably experiencing a higher level of stress that you're used too. Could also be that you're not getting enough sleep. Hit the gym, get some exercise and try to get in a couple more hours sleep (and by sleep I mean restful sleep) get some sleeping aids if you'd like, just don't' take them for more than a week and see if it makes a difference. Be sure to do the exercise thing as well and try to relax more. It helps.

This happens to me quite a bit. I have a hard time concentrating sometimes because I'm always thinking of what I'm planning on doing next. When we do routine things that don't require much thought, and our minds our occupied with other things, we're not going to remember the meanial little tasks we were doing at the time. If you think hard though, I bet you'll remember what you were thinking about when you were first turning off your computer. As for your dreams, I think it's normal for emotions to carry over into our waking conciousness. I've only had it happen twice that I've had dreams that I mistook for reality. Normally, some cue in my dream will trigger something in my head and alert me that I'm dreaming. From that point on, I can start controlling what happens in my dreams. It's fun! I once dreamed (after I realized it was a dream) that I flew to work on a giant piece of Wonder bread! When I got off of work that day, all I did was go outside and whistle, and the giant piece of bread came and picked me up to fly me home again.

Happens to me loads. I walk round in a total daydream and loose stuff when I'm actually holding it or go to do things I've already done. The worst is when i think something and then say it without realizing so when people reply its like they read my mind. Just try be more conscious of what you're doing. You must have a very preoccupied mind. Hope it gets better soon.
