Cynthia, no you are not alone with the 'memory feeling' - there is someone in London who has the same problem. When I am dp'ed, as I am at the moment, I can't remember anything very much and it certainly feels like I have forgotten my life - as most of it has been dped perhaps that is no bad thing! I have felt the glass jar effect too for many years, its less intense now than it used to be. My mind often feels completely stuck, unable to respond by thought, feeling, reaction to what I am doing or experiencing. Unable to absorb, unable to connect. I feel disconnected in my body and mind, I go through tasks like an automaton, often do things randomly, very forgetful, no feelings, unable to think clearly and constantly analysing/watching my state.....I don't have the bus thing, I usually quite like being on buses behind the glass, because that is where I feel I am anyway, and it seems more right being there than anywhere else, it seems to halve rather than double the effect of my inner state. Regards to Montreal, some of my most dped memories and one of my dearest friends are from over there Sarah xx
