So, lately I've been experiencing this for several seconds which actually feels like minutes before I come back to myself then start remembering who I am. My experience is exactly like all the pages of comments followed by OP's experience in the link.

https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/why-did-i-experience-few-seconds-total-memory-loss

It's extremely scary & when it happened again I forgot this happened before. Then it started happening more often. Like within the last 2 weeks it's happened several times, like 3-5 times.

Each time the experience is pretty brief, anywhere from several seconds like 5-20 seconds then I start to slowly come back to myself, remember my own name, where I live, how old I am, where I'm at, the objects around me which I don't recognize within my own room where I write music.

Each time it happens it always feels like I will indefinitely stay in this state, foreign to everything I thought was mine. Which I thought was impossible to forget.

Everyone that goes to a doctor about it doesn't find as much luck about it since most don't know what this is or misdiagnose it.

It feels like what I imagine Dementia or Alzheimer's disease feels like but I'm not even 30 yet. Anyone know anything about it?

 

So, I'm gonna die as a "5 second Tom" aren't I?

Like the shit comes on so strong that I look at the studio monitors I bought myself & I don't even have the mental capacity to even suggest what shape it is. I can't even think "what is this, a box?"

All I can think is "what is that thing?" for a little while as if I'm foreign to this earth & never seen it before. Like all of the knowledge in my brain just gets EQ scooped out of existence where I'm left with is nothing at all.

It happens to me. Most often at night. Lucid dreaming. I go back in time, but I know I'm me from 2021. I'm in my 60's and this has become more and more prominent over the last ten years which I state to tell you I lived 50 years in a state of normality. I have a suspicion that when CERN created the Higgs Boson in 2012 they opened up a gateway to an almost identical universe which overlays our own. It is responsible for The Mandela Effect and as absurd as it seems, things like Trump winning the election among other global improbabilities. Now Covid. I think their messing with quantum particle physics disrupted our timeline.
Of course I have no proof. But if anyone does they are not telling.

 

Yup.

Actually, it probably has something to do with staring at computer screens for far too long. Drink more fluids, keep your sugar levels solid (bananas are good) & take weaker (or even less ) 'stimulants'. And stop worrying so much - your over-active imagination would be better applied elsewhere.

 

I've lucid dreamed before & this is nothing like that either. It's a complete blanking out for a bit. I didn't travel any time or any of that dope shit.

Nah man I wish, this isn't like a free acid trip after I crack my neck then my totem pole tells me everything for few groovy minutes my guy.

I don't know what is time, what is me, what is all this shit around me or who to ask. If someone came in and asked me something, I wouldn't recognize who they are because I can't even recognize myself. It's the opposite of knowledge that I experience.

I'm not a doctor, but you should see one. However I've experienced this.

I have a condition that leaves me with severe deficiencies of vitamins and nutrients. For instance low B12 levels can lead to this kind of thing that you're experiencing. Get some bloodwork done to check your B- and D-vitamin levels and take it from there.

Best of luck!

 

I think both of you have a point right now. But I drink enough fluids I think, I chug my water gallon. I eben made a thread about it reminding others to do it in the lounge section with the elevator music where I met my first H20 protester. Not like R2R neighbors, like liquid water haters lol

Damn that's crazy man, I'm glad you're alright right now because I couldn't out-spell a potato in that state. I've been taking a multivitamin but also forgetting at times too I think. Haven't seen a single banan in a while neither.

Been eating like absolute shit lately though too so maybe you're right. Black hole sun is all I've been seeing, there is a point here. LCD sun rays be covering me. I've also been embarrassing Colombian cocaine with my caffeine intake as well on top of fuck sleep we workin.

 

My face when it happens while I'm making records.

 

I'm not sure if you're saying you experience the same thing as me or something different or just saying why you think you experience it but does it happen often? Does it feel like time travel or do you completely blank out for a bit?

@Lenny Belardo II Has anyone else your age experienced that too? Anyone that experienced it prior to your age? I've realized I've been skipping out on some basic things lately like these dudes mention. Do you think it's that for you too?

Things like lack of sleep, inconsistent eating & too much caffeine? I think that could have done it but then again this never was a symptom of that before. Then again could it accumulate? I don't know.

Sounds almost like disassociation

 

I love your posts men.

 

the brain is the first to go with out proper nutrition. i lived through it as a kid. they though I had psych probs.
I started taking vit d and cannabis oil. and everything went away.
my partner was depressed couldn't sleep... started b complex... now no problems.

 

That's exactly what I experience for brief moments randomly. Nothing heals my thyme wounds then man.

 

Sounds almost like lack of attention.

 

Nah it's far worse than just being distracted by squirrels at the window in grade school.

It's a rapid & complete disassociation from absolutely everything around me including myself briefly.
It's the most brutal thing I've ever experienced.

Imagine your brain turning into an infants at your age for a few seconds. That sort of thing calls for brick shitting season to me.

 

Are you experiencing any serious emotional trauma in your life? I suggest taking time out of your day to attend to your physical and mental health. Oftentimes this falls by the wayside in everyday life and spending some time on exercise, meditation, etc. can be really helpful.

 

It's hard to say but sometimes I push my studio sessions into the point of complete lethargy to my life then I tell myself to stop being a pussy & continue because the shit isn't going to make itself. I'm not the type of person that often stops to ask myself how I feel to be honest.

I think you & others are making this very apparent to me right now. I get super restless.

I heavily struggle with sleep where sometimes I go to lay down & I think I've slept because I think might have dosed off. Only maybe like 5 minutes goes by where I felt like I just woke up from a nap but my clock says I've existed in the same 10 minute time frame.

Been ignoring a lot lately, always reaching burnout season constantly. Need to get back to all of that & hope to fuck I always remember who the fuck I am because I can't pretend I actually know what these symptoms are just yet.

Check this. My uncle had the same issue once or maybe twice and diagnosed with low sugar level.

 

Being insightful is important, but the first things, IMHO, are the raw materials. You body machine can't work if doesn't have the building blocks it needs. For me psychology is only an interesting subject. Give your body (and therefor your brain) the food it requires for its correct functioning and you will be at your best to affront life. ( and rock much harder )

 

This is definitely a shit period. we are living through a genocide. let's not fall prey.
