Since December I have awaken on a few occasions and temporarily forgetting who is with me and who I am. It is a very nervous feeling for me. I am usually in a panic trying to quickly remember. Sadly, it freaks me out so badly until I am afraid to go back to sleep fearing it will come back again. I am so scared that this is the beginning of me losing my mind all together. I totally fear the worse. It doesn't happen every night but has happened enough since December. I have previously been diagnosed with having hyperthyroidism, which also started in December. But previously I had been diagnosed with having panic attacks but ultimately I found out that the panic attacks were brought on my the Hyperthyroidism. I have been on zanax and temazapam for the aniexty. Now I am off those meds and on methimazole and atenolol to help with the thyroid problem. I have been reading the threads to hopefully find out what is happening to me. If you have found out anything I would love to know what helped you. I have talked to my doctor and I have also gone to talk to a pyschiatrist and she didn't give me an explanation for this problem. When I first began having the problem it was affecting me when I was driving. It seemed as though I could not remember where I was or where I was going or even who I was. I would repeat my name over and over again also repeating different family members names. Just to convince myself I wasn't forgetting things that I should know.If you or anyone could help me figure this out I would be so grateful. Thanks to all.
