The way my new brain works to try and recall memories is strange....I take lots of pictures, I study those pictures, then I store them away in a photo album I keep on a shelf, in my head...when someone says to me "remember this or remember when" I pull out that photo album and search for a picture that represents that day or event...if I did not take a picture, then I will not find the memory...if I did take a picture I will pull it out, look at it, and "see" that yes, there is a memory, yes I was there...everywhere I go, I take mental pictures and store them away...sometimes they are there to be recalled, sometimes they are not..
I keep a photo album
in my head
so I can search them
to be read...
an album of memories
old and dusty
colors, emotions, confusion
produced by a pic..
when I need to remember
I scour the album
in my head
I see it, look, study,
think, sadness
No memories, but a photo
in my head....
I've just discovered I have D.I.D. Its not easy for me or my alters. As you read these blog entries, some are by me and some are by them. Each one us expressing a moment of joy or frustration as we learn to adapt to our new life and flood of bad memories.
