Yet another PTSD issue is bothering me. For years now I have had times where I just "blank out" and cannot remember facts like my wedding date, my phone number, names, chunks of time in the past, etc. Not only is it annoying but there are times where it is embarrassing. I find that if I am under stress or pressure I will just blank out.
The other day I was watching my sister's 2 kids and my son (STRESS!!!) and my brother in law came over to pick up his kids and we were talking about an issue that I should know a lot about as I studied it in college and I just drew a complete blank and could not recall information. A few hours after he left I could recall all the information perfectly.
Situations like this often make me look stupid or "airheadish". Ironically, I have a 140 i.q.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In jobs I have held since being in the industry this has proven time and again to be an issue. If I am stressed or under pressure the information that I need just isn't there.
I am praying that in time this will heal.
