Sar,
I believe I had a "breakdown" before. I was in a motorcycle accident with my fiance, and he was killed. I walked around pacing in my house for a few days... I couldn't remember my name, never answered the phone(was also very confused about who it was, and who I was)... eventually I decided I needed some groceries.... I walked to a store about 4 hours away(walking distance)... walked along the highway, took the exits as directed.. got my groceries and walked home. Obviously it took all night. Boy did I ache the next day.... I'll never forget that part. I wrote a letter to my family and friends. I thought I was going to die.... not by my own hand, but just die. I sealed the letter in an envelope and just huddled in the dark in a corner. I was like that until my father broke down the door.... I ran from him.... he grabbed me and wouldn't let go.... then I lost it(I sobbed, etc) and every memory came flooding back to me. My name, what had happened, etc. Very bizarre. Very frightening.
I'm assuming this was a breakdown of somesort.
