Do any of you experience black outs? Like you’re missing pieces of time and you don’t know what you said or did during that time? It’s just recently been happening to me like someone wants something from me and is blanking my brain.
I used to as lot more often than I do now. I used to think these little creatures where stealing parts of my brain because I would always end up with a headache. But it turned out, in my case, to be recurring psychogenic amnesia.

Do you think if I tell the pdoc he’ll take my drivers license?
No idea. My driver’s license was already gone by then. But, until you prove that you’re not safe during those episodes and it could potentially just be a memory issue, I don’t see that happening. Are you passing out or just having memory blanks?
Just memory blanks and more when I’m sitting and talking

I reread your op. I think you should tell your doctor. I doubt he would take away your license. At least not without further information/testing.

This is probably not a memory issue but more of a social thing where you’re so engaged thst you brsin isn’t focusing on memory

It happened with both the pdoc and mental health worker. It seems to happen mostly when I’m having stressful conversations
I can’t lose my license. That would be terrible.
My psychogenic amnesia was due to stress.
Maybe it’s that. Because it seems whenever I have to talk about difficult things I just forget the whole conversation but yet when I’m at the pdoc his notepad is always filled. So obviously I said something. It’s always followed by a minute of tunnel vision
The thing that makes me feel safer about not losing my license is that I’ve told him on several occasions that I get lost all the time and often can’t fìnd my house
Ask your pdoc for his objective opinion. It’s probably not his area of expertise, but he might know somebody who knows. Everybody is subject to all kinds of glitches in their daily functioning. If it gets worse you might ask to see a neurologist.

They did a brain scan on me not long ago but without the dye so it’s really inaccurate. I’d like them to do another with dye
