Amnesiac moment

[weare.livejournal.com]

The oddest thing happened today. Ok, so maybe it wasn't the oddest but it sure was weird.

I was giving my son a bath. All of the sudden I looked at him and was very afraid. I had no idea who this child was or why he was naked in a tub of water. I just watched him, happily playing with his bath toys, and was really scared. I just had no idea.

Then I told myself, "silly, that's Orion."

Who's Orion? Where did he come from?
He's my son.
I gave birth to him?
Um...yeah! How could I forget?

This went on for a moment or two and then the next thing I knew I was back to bathing him. Everything back to normal. Orion didn't even know that anything was different with his mommy.


I've gotten amnesia moments like that before. Where I didn't know who I was or where I was or what I was doing or who I was with or anything. But, this was the first time I interacted with myself and tried to rationalize with myself about it. Usually I would just slowly snap out of it.

It got me thinking. What if there is someone who comes out so rarely that they don't know anything that's going on? And if that same person is so shocked about what they're experiencing that I find myself feeling the same thing (ie, I front so hard that I get lost in the moment). I didn't feel different like I sometimes do when someone takes helm.

Something to think about.

My question to all of you is this: Do you get these amnesia moments? What do you do when they happen? Why do you think they happen? etc...

That happenes to us alot actually. Havnt' really experenced the 'memeory-loss' much, tend to flip around so much between the five of us that no one really experences much of a loss. We do have moments where we will walk around completely confused, not knowing what we were doing, or where we were going. That happens mostly at work, either it's work that does it, or we spend too much time there ^_^

I hate it when that happens. I'll walk into a room and be like "what was I going to do?" and either it'll take a moment to remember or I'll just go out and hopefully remember later. It's usually when I have so much going on in my head that I get distracted and can't remember what I was going to do in the first place. lol
