Dissociative Amnesia

LINK: "Stress causes businessman's brain to 'blow a fuse' and wipes his entire memory" article in the Daily Mail NewspaperThe clinical depression I suffer from is: Dysthymia - a less intense type of depression that involves long-term, chronic symptoms that are less severe, but keep one from functioning at full ability and from feeling good. (Note: I'm trying to leave in certain places, that is on my blog, website, and here on facebook, certain things that might assist, then again might not. with realism and non-realism, rather than thinking of myself only, whilst I'm still going through day to day life in a self-centred way and unselfish manner). MY COMMENT: Know the feeling. Happened to me in 1996. Patchy memory: lost about I think three months out of my life that was down to dissociative amnesia, and still can't recall anything from that period. Problem is that one then becomes vulnerable to other people's invention of what you were supposed to have done and been like, and the sorry thing is you have no recall to it, so can't refute it properly. Its a sad position to be in. And during this time in 1996 the doctor's at Maudsley Hospital didn't know what stressful event triggered mine, but diagnosed me with suffering from clinical depression thereafter.
