I adore this video - very close to the real McCoy. What they leave out ( or represent sort of comically with the 'spaghetti' comment) is how twisted comprehension and your world is post-octal -for example my last TC back in June the entire ambulance ride I spent talking to my wife callin her 'baby' and 'babe' about how I didn't know the year, my name, the president and how I didn't know where I was - for a good long 20 minutes to the ER(I had hit my head on balcony) and I finally realize at the very end after the EMT makes me aware of it it was not my 'wife' with me in the ambulance but another EMT - I couldn't identify my own WIFE post-octal!!!

Awww.... I'm always afraid if someone asks me who my kids are .... I won't know.. maybe they already have but no one is telling me to save my feelings.... I don't know...
I've had similar feelings like someone intends to save my brain from perception overload about sensitive things and has hypnotized or brainwashed me in some way - I'm not sure how to process that
yeah- the pain, the confusion, the brain-mumble, the disorientation...
I sent this to family and friends to explain what it's like but still there is no way anyone could understand just from an audio/visual perspective
Isn't it something. I had a T.C. alone in my basement a couple months ago and by the time I found my way up the stairs to where the bf was I got into bed and started calling him by my two best girlfriend's names. For about 10 minutes it was as if it was me and my gals in the room and I kept telling them they had to listen to me as I thought I should go to the hospital.
Later on he told me and tho I remember bits and pieces of it I was still pretty shocked, and sorta apologized for not recognizing that it was my man I was in the bed with. (lol guess it's a good thing tho that I wasn't calling him by the names of my guy friends...).
