This has some information:
http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/dissociative_disorders/hic_dissociative_amnesia.aspx
It appears to be similar to PTSD. Are you diagnosed with it? Or do you have symptoms that you believe might it because a psychiatrist would have to diagnose this and the symptoms they describe are clinically complex and could be from other causes as well if a person were experiencing them.

Thank you for the info. I am trying to look more into the subject. I have been diagnosed with the disorder and I am also bipolar. I have gone in and out of therapy and usually try to stay away from the lapses of memory part as dealing with my depressions have been overwhelming because of so really extreme family issues I have been dealing with for about 4 years. But I am now looking for a pdoc to delve into this as I am beginning to feel that I am not a whole person anymore. There are only so many holes you can have before the house crashes down. Has anyone had any success dealing with this? I am posting this here and will also start a new thread with it as I really need so help.
