Yes! I agree with this, I find that I (and probably most everyone) can open my phone's PIN without looking, or occasionally automatically type passwords when presented with a text entry field without even thinking about it.

I think that the disappearances corresponding with when she started new jobs is super important. That can be a super stressful change, and for people who dissociate due to trauma, stress can result in dissociating and going on "autopilot" to protect themselves.

We're a multiple system and although we don't have DID/OSDD or amnesia, we do experience dissociation mostly adjacent to DP/DR. We were actually actively able to see how stress from working affected our system, we were all stressed and no one wanted to use the body because of how working affected our body and mind. I could honestly see someone prone to amnesia-related dissociation could get that triggered. I could also understand someone not realizing that's a trigger, we only realized it because we don't have amnesia and a few of us spoke up about how this was hurting us.

This might be a bit insensitive, but considering that both of her fugue states ended with her waking up in bodies of water, it's likely that she's dead and is in a river or lake. However, it can't be said for certain that she's dead, she could still be out there.

"Why did she disappear when starting a new job?" Perhaps, instead of stress, it was her mind being unable to adapt to the new jobs. After all, a new job is a pretty big thing for most people - new routines, people, locations, _procedures_ . Perhaps these changes were enough to cause a confusion deep within her mind, and in turn, enough to trigger a fugue state. I'm no psychologist but that doesn't sound so far fetched to me.

I once had a friend who had past trauma that caused dissociative episodes and they never knew what the traumatic experience was that caused it and their doctors had said it was likely repressed since it happened in early childhood, so that could be why Hannah couldn’t think of any past trauma. Or it could be from something very normalized in her religious household. (I realize I’ve been speaking about this friend in the past tense but don’t worry they aren’t dead as far as I know they just weren’t very kind to me as a friend and would constantly excuse mental diagnosis to get out of facing consequences when they would act extremely toxic and would never make an effort to treat people like human beings)

Honestly, I feel like she maybe went swimming at the beach. If they found her dress, sandals, and purse at the beach, it would lead me to believe that she had a swimsuit on underneath her dress, which she took off, and then left her belongings in the sand to go swimming, maybe when the hurricane hit. If she got caught up in it, she wouldn’t be anywhere near St Thomas since she’d probably move with it. Forgive me if the dates don’t quite add up though, I’m a little fuzzy on when hurricanes hit. I am also partially leaning towards her committing suicide by drowning herself or something else involving water, but maybe she didn’t realize what she was doing if she was in a fugue state. Or she decided that she didn’t want to live with this disorder anymore. But I feel like, somehow, she ended up in that water.

i feel like there has to be something related to her starting new jobs at new schools that's making her go into fugue states. i wonder if something traumatic happened to her in or around school when she was young that she's been able to successfully repress her whole life but once she was introduced to a new school environment as an adult teacher her fugue states were triggered by the repressed trauma being remembered, then once successfully repressed again she would come out of the fugue state. in other severe dissociative disorders like DID, a similar thing happens where someone encounters a trigger that takes them back to traumatic experiences, and the part of the brain that remembers that trauma will "take over" and cause a dissociative amnesia to prevent the person from remembering that experience. but while she was in this fugue state for the 3rd time there was an accident/misadventure resulting in her death or she was taken advantage of by someone who recognized she was vulnerable and that person caused her death.

[@upumpkin]

I’ve seen a lot of correlation in missing persons case having amnesia when found. Many of them suffer from bipolar, and one of the weirdest things I’ve noticed is how many of them won’t remember what they were doing but that they needed to find water. Including one case where someone was found missing in the middle of a stream in winter. It’s some strange and scary stuff. My worst nightmare

[@verdantViridity]

Dissociative symptoms may not be hereditary, but trauma can be generational, especially if later generations give the same upbringing (including doctrine) that they themselves had. Dissociative conditions are most often signs of severe childhood trauma, and there are still a lot of causes of trauma that hide in plain sight because people are so used to downplaying the severity of certain parenting practices that inflict lasting psychological damage.

[@elleofhearts8471]

plus doesnr the brain sometimes suppress memories in order to "wall off" trauma? traumatic events can also cause memory problems or cause gaps in memory specifically revolving around the traumatic event in question.

[@verdantViridity]

@@elleofhearts8471 That's what dissociation is. In its most basic form, it distances you from being mentally present during traumatic moments, sometimes becoming your main response to stress from then on. Some forms can happen consciously, others more often are involuntary reflexes. The more basic, the more likely it can happen voluntarily to cope. In its simplest case, you respond to stressful or trauma-related stimuli by suppressing your sense of emotion-- in my case, it's also caused a few rare periods where instead of emotion, the language center of my brain shut off for a while. Then there's dissociative amnesia. You block out the traumatic memory. You literally cannot handle the ordeal of this trauma, even if it's physically survivable. So, it never happened. There's just a blind spot in your memory. A missing day, week, month, year of your life, like it never happened. Even if someone else tells you what happened, all you can recall is being told about it. Sometimes, the catch is that you're still triggered by things associated with the blocked memory, and you may not realize it's a trigger. You might just think you have an irrational phobia. Some people even lose the memory of being triggered, so you don't even know what the trigger was and therefore can't try avoiding it. Sometimes, if the blocked trauma was a chronic situation, it can pretty much cause your memory to have rolling blackouts on and off for the rest of your life. A more self-destructive form of dissociation is depersonalization, which is often coupled by a depressive or manic spike if you're not feeling numbed out. These often happen for shorter spells, but you convince yourself that it doesn't matter how awfully you're suffering if [You] isn't a real person, just someone you made up for escape. In extreme cases, especially common with experiencing physical or sexual violence, the self-detachment becomes so intense that you become your own third-party observer. It's been described as like watching a movie about someone else with no relevance to You The Viewer. Depersonalization can go a few ways. As a trauma symptom, it's rarely alone. More often, it can pair with derealization. It's just as it sounds. Everything feels distant, muffled, like it's all actors and stage sets, or like you're just imagining the world around you, like you're in a dream or a VR. Gaslighting can especially cause this one. The next extreme case would be episodic delusions and/or hallucinations where the brain fills in its own reasoning for that sense of unreality, like it really is a dream, and it can be very hard to break out of without the right antipsychotic even if you're aware that it's happening. Another way it can go is dissociative identity. Even if it's not YOU that this is happening to, you're not equipped for processing this stimulus that aggravates your trauma, so YOU are compartmentalized into different personalities and the memories are divided up according to which facet was fronting (piloting) at the time. YOU can't remember this because that was [You] fronting at the time, therefore that was [You]'s memory, someone other than YOU, and [You] is just one of several cognitive constructs. Not all of them are aware of each other, some one them have internal dialogue with each other, some of their memories are shared, some announce that they'll switch soon while others don't, some are involuntary switched by a trigger. Some of them are manifestations of specific personal aspects or moods like conscience, survival, internalized abuse, childhood innocence, the self YOU aspire to become, the self that family expects YOU to become, etc., and because they're Different People, they're not bound to look like the "system" (YOU as a whole). They can present themselves with different names, genders, appearances, mannerisms and preferences. And they may reintegrate over time, or they may further fracture. The mind is complex and will go through a lot of loopholes if necessary to keep itself running. Sometimes those loopholes are bugs, and sometimes they're features. Sometimes therapy and recovery can rehabilitate a person so the dissociative X or Y isn't so debilitating, but it never goes completely away. You just learn how to manage it and its impact on your life.

[@verdantViridity]

Dissociation is often a symptom of having felt powerless against a threat, and it's especially common in people who've been in environments where openly breaking down could've escalated that threat.

[@SnapshotOfASoul]

It's hard to word this at three in the morning but basically put, it's likely she had trauma involving water. Thematically, water is used in a lot of preaching - I mean, the flood story, baptisms, Revelation heavily features water, and many preaching styles involve things like water featured as a renewal or vitality symbol - and it's not a stretch to assume that her trauma around events she likely didn't talk about, compounded with big life changes and pressure to perform a certain role, caused her brain to go into survival mode. Fugue is a part of CPTSD and was poorly understood in 2008. A natural disaster such as that hurricane would have caused apocalyptic levels of destruction - she was likely feeling stressed! When I have traumatic episodes - I have ones where I'd literally forget I was who I was now, and think I was still in the situation - I will remember things that are automatic like logins or to feed my cats. But I would more heavily be involved in the trauma and reality would seem like a lucid dream, flowing in and out. I'd automatically know to turn the news on at 5 for my dad to watch, but I wouldn't remember what year it was and I'd be constantly swamped in the event that happened to me. I would forget to shower, to change clothing, to take care of myself and my surroundings beyond the "automatic" - it's likely her Gmail was a daily routine and her mind went "where can I find a computer..." and saw an Apple store as she was walking along. I have no hope in her survival this long, but stranger things have happened.

I'm thankful that these are not happening to me in the present cuz it literally scares me so much.
