Today, I had something kind of new for me. I was out in the car, I was across the street with it and I had a good few minutes of not knowing where I was. It literally felt like I was in a foreign country. I didn't recognize where I was. It was such an odd feeling. I was only across street from my building, didn't recognize the street, nothing.
This was different from the time I had total amnesia and didn't know where I was or who I was when I was driving once. This time, I knew who I was, I just didn't know where I was. It was very scary and lasted a good few minutes while I was driving. It was like, what country am I in? One more reason for me to get the disabled busing and not drive anymore. I don't think it's safe for me to be out driving when I get this stuff. I still like to drive on a good day, but I never know when something like this will happen to me.
I had a total idiot of an old family friend tell me that everyone gets that. No they don't. Not everyone suddenly feels like they don't know where they are when they are across street from their home. This was not a feeling of how do I get there. This was that everything was not recognized by my brain. I didn't recognize the buildings, nothing. All my surrounds felt and looked to me like I was in a foreign country. And it lasted a good few minutes. It was very scary.
