Deja Vu, feelings of surrealness

Post Reply New Topic

I wondered if anyone else gets this? I am currently living between my boyfriends and my mothers, and it's like whenever I am at one or the other, I literally forget what the other situation is like, so when I go back to one of the two situations, I get this weird deja vu feeling. The thing is, is that I can get very wigged out by it, I forget what either building looks like, the interiors and rather more scary for me, I forget what everyone looks like, I can't conjure up an image in my head what anyone looks like, I get scared that I might not remember what my boyfriend looks like one day.
But it's not just something that I get on a short-term basis, I get this feeling whilst I am actually at either place too, so sometimes I wake up and I forget where I am, or I can be heavily engrossed in something and when I've finished the surroundings and whomever I'm with feel slightly surreal, I've also had this feeling variously, sometimes for days at a time, sometimes I look at my boyfriend and I feel like I'm seeing him for the first time again.
It feels like I'm both seeing either place for the first time and also remembering them, and the same with my mother or my boyfriend and I have to admit it worries me.
I did almost drown when I was about 18 months, I had water on the brain and was in hospital for a number of months, and I'm starting to wonder if there is damage there or something, frankly this Deja Vu thing can really scare me, I was just wondering if this is an Aspie thing or something else entirely?

How many mothers do you have?

Ok, did one give birth to one half of you and the other, the other half?

Don't worry, I get scared about my memory at times, too. And once you get used to one situation, it's hard to change. That's how us Aspies are.

I had deja-vu all the time, and I would be scared sh*tless.

Do you have any other of the following: weird smells, seeing other colors, hearing muffled voices, shaking. If so you could be having seizures... I had those then I was out on medication now I only get the occasionally blue dots.

I often have feelings of déjà vu or déjà vécu and derealization. I think I might be having simple partial seizures, but I haven't talked to a doctor about this. They haven't been a real problem for me, anyway.

I don't usually forget where I am or what people look like, but this could be a kind of jamais vu or amnesia, which might be associated with a seizure.

You get blue dots, too??

If I mention that I can randomly and occasionally see blue dots people tell me I'm crazy. Sometimes I get odd smells with them, but not always. I've never mentioned them to a doctor - maybe I should, although they don't hinder me in any way.

Darn it! I only have one mother My excuse was it was early and I had been suffering from an inability to sleep.
Personally I find this problem quite frightening at times, up until I met my boyfriend, I rarely left the family home, although I did have problems with feelings of surreality, so it wasn't until I started dating him seriously that I really began to realise the full extent of the problem.
I have a tendency to "zone out" quite a lot too, and I know that someone here suggested that staring off into space could potentially be a form of seizure, I'm rambling on a bit here, lol, anyway, thank you for the replies so far, I always like to know other people's experiences.

I tend to forget that there are other situations than the one I am in right now. This leads to problems like forgetting that some of the people I know exist nad thus I lose touch with them and stuff. I think it's an aspie problem.

everyone who is saying simple partial seizure arnt affecting you... um you're wrong. Get on the problem. They can escalate to a grandmal or complex partial seizure which are more serious.

Also I've had lasting brain damage from years of having seizures and not getting them treated.
