Hi,
I am wondering if PTSD has done anything to memory.......At least that is what I think my problem is...For example, about a month ago I left my car running in my drive way for over 4 hours. I had no idea I had got out of the car without my keys. Thinking I was just stressed I didn't think anything of it....Well, I have don't that twice since and one time I left it running while in the store and looked around the store for over an hour trying to find my keys. Then last week I left my faucet running and it ended up flooding my whole kitchen and some of my basement. I didn't even know it had happened until my friend came over and saw it. I was so embarrassed I blamed one of my kids who had just left. I knew I had just did the dishes a few hours before though. I can't remember where my phone is, my keys, phone numbers, dates for anything. My husband says I ask him the same questions over and over and I really don't remember asking...Sometimes I will remember asking but I wont remember what he answered. Sometimes I do this 4 or 5 times a day he says. It's starting to scare me. I have left our stove and oven on also. Could anyone tell what could cause this? I am not stressed, at least not to point of forgot things the way I am. I have always done well in school, and have never had this issue before. I'm starting to get really embarrassed by it. I am 30 years old. I have PTSD but it is under control and I have never used drugs.
A friend said that I might have a TBI but I don't see how that is possible. Since the abuse (PTSD) was years and years ago. I was abused to the point of blacking out two time, that I can remember. How would I know if it is from that or from anything else? I honestly feel like a 90 year old lady. I am noticing I am even forgetting how to spell. I have a 4 year degree with a GPA of 3.76.
