After going through many years of erased memory, I was diagnosed. it's real and scary as hell, it's because of early childhood trauma and subsequent traumas as an adult that trigger it in my case, It's heart wrenching because you have no recollection of huge chunks of your life. This is no joke and no laughing matter. May it never snare you in its grip. It's a by product of PTSD.
I am sending you lots of love and positivity. It sucks you have this horrible illness and I am hoping for you that you can be well. You are right, it’s no laughing matter. Much respect to you for your transparency and your honesty. You are brave and strong...bless you. ❤️
After my 2 children died I lost YEARS of memories. I don't have this disease Hannah has but I have horrible trauma and from that I have extreme memory loss. It's crazy. I have to ask my family to help me remember stuff. It sucks.
@@Witchygirl22, I am so sorry for your loss, how horrible it is to lose 2 children, I'm so sad for you. Hugs and prayers for you... You have the same symptoms, you might want to check with a therapist to rule it our, besides, therapy really helps, it's so underrated.
Tbh, it’s very rare for me to ever meet or hear of people with the same issue which is why I just choose to quietly live it. Mine is not as severe as hers is described to be thankfully but I do definitely believe that the circumstances assumed about her disappearance aren’t at all far fetched. Mine can last a few seconds to a few days- usually when it lasts a few days- I’m drifting in and out of a present mind- never a full day consistently in that state. I do know who I am but I feel so detached from my life that it’s almost uncomfortable for me to consider the things around me that remind me of who I am- I force myself to do it because I don’t like being in that state- it makes me panic and gets my vision blurry but I do understand why Hannah would avoid things that remind her of her true identity because I have to force myself NOT to do that when I get into that state. To picture the feeling- it’s like awkward, uncomfortable feeling you get going over to someone’s house for the first time and al of their family is there- at first you feel a sense of not belonging- that’s what it’s like for me- like I shouldn’t be where I am, like I am an alien to things around me.
Family looking at photo albums would point out a picture of a girl and say, oh look, who's that? Mmm mm... cousin so&so? Nou, it's you silly! I have lost one full day and have placed pictures of myself all over the house because I sometimes wake up and wonder who's house I'm in. Many times even that doesn't work because I don't recognize myself in the picture. It's true, it's all true and i know no one with experiences like mine, even though I have been tu numerous psyc hospitals. It's funny when I'm there the other patients ask gazillion questions about "multiple personalities", it feels more like a memory problem to me, i always thought I had dementia. I'd like to chat with you if you would like. My email is onestopshopbox@gmail.com As you so I do my therapy and live life as quietly as i can.
@@biaanibeu4471 wow I can relate entirely and I never knew what to call it before now. I have huge portions of my childhood and early adult life just missing or sometimes a vision will come back and I can't tell if it was a memory coming back or a lucid dream so I have a hard time deciphering a past memory as being real. It's scary and yes I've had many, many traumas in life but much better now that I'm an adult and run my own life.
4:30 "Many people in her life believe she was looking for a way to escape her past." (and she subsequently moves to a Caribbean island) 5:25 "She was a young woman who *definitely* loved her life." Huh??
During Hurricane Katrina my husbands grandma (who suffered from Dementia) left Florida and got on a greyhound to New Orleans. Nobody knows why. Maybe it was all the news coverage. But she was missing for over a day before the people at Greyhound called us to let us know she fell on the bus. I believe Hurricanes and other major events like that can trigger people with mental illnesses
I know this young woman, her brother and am close friends with her mother from way before this happened. Hannah is full of life and a wonder to know. Barbara has been stalwart in her faith about findung Hannah though of course there are struggles. I pray and wish the best for all of them
I keep telling my family I'm going to change my name & move where no one can find me after my husband passes away because I'm tired of all of their drama & narcissistic behavior.
So sad and rather strange. But isn't it possible to give her a tracking device if she is found again? Or microchip? I know it sounds a bit inhuman, but if it means your daughter can find her family and herself again - it could be an answer that her family goes to her.
Found face down in the New York Bay.....alive. Think about that. They just happened to pull her out of the water after she had passed out in the bay but before she drowned. Then she disappears into the sea. She might be a mermaid.
Well, the #DissociativeFugue 'expert' who tried to explain her behaviour after the event, claims her logging in to her Google email account (at an Apple store) and attending her gym using her name is unconscious second nature behaviour. Which is obviously BS. I often have to use 'Forgot Password?' and I certainly don't #sleepwalk to the gym. She was using the gym to shower. Dissociative mental disorders are real, but this is clearly a case of deliberately choosing to dissociate. She'd also joined a #Freeganism movement, which further suggests an #ExistentialCrisis.
@@goatlps Bro it literally says that people with dissociative fugue can function normally. She may have lost her autobiographical memory but she knew how to use the gym and log in her account
Must be nice to have such a loving mother. My mother threw me to the wolves at 16, and chose to be a neglectful parent along side her narcissistic evil boyfriend
I have so many more questions. What did she act like at the service station and gym? Was she working out or wandering around? Was she dirty or clean? Where did she get money/food?
I don’t understand after her diagnosis and it happened twice in the past and they knew it could happen again, when she moved to the Virgin Islands, why didn’t she let anyone know (close friends/her boss). And especially the time of year it happens. Especially with a hurricane going on. If the director of the Montessori had known, especially the time of year, another hurricane coming, when Hannah seemed different , it would have been a red flag. I hope she’s alive and I hope she’s found.
After hurricane Irma's, many affected people from the antilles were sent to Puerto Rico's refugees as disaster victims. Maybe she's in the big Island or maybe she doesn't want to be found.
Jesus was it a stretch of this girls family and friends minds to make her wear location beacon bracelet after her first two "disappearances "? Alot of resources looking for her could have been saved and she would probably be alive right now. Totally irresponsible.
I’m so sorry she vanished just like that but this world is huge No body even knows what happened to a beautiful actress Fan Bing Bing !! She disappeared after Chinese government found out about her false income tax report !! I don’t hear anything about her anymore!!
Maybe she just got lost because she was looking for her uncle Tommy who was lost in the woods and then maybe like sometimes you find the elves or maybe sometimes the Bigfoot monster and when you find the Bigfoot monster that is when you will sometimes not be found anymore.
How sad. You would hope people that have this would tell at least one person that's around them so at least someone is looking out for them. But then again that would be unfair to have to expose your medical condition. I pray she's okay.
But, how do they remember pin numbers and not phone numbers? How do they log in to a computer without their email? If she didn't have her wallet, how was she buying coffee? If she used her gym pass to get into her gym, why were the police not made aware?
Not that I'm suggesting you are, but many people experience temporary fugue states, so to speak, from doing too many psychedelics and smoking marijuana a lot.
Teaching in a NY public school and a verocious hurricane sound like triggers to me. To a nice single girl, (I’m no psychiatrist), but they would do it for me.

Starring Drew Barrymore
Ohh, good idea. Maybe they can have Adam Sandler as her love interest. I'd definitely watch it.

@@ingridarlington5745she was a lesbian

@Mike Smith Amen
To me, it sounds suspicious because she's went missing 3 times and third time still hasn't been found its like she just wanted to leave.
Sad deal. Feel sorry for the mother. Only hope she didn't have another episode and was swept out to sea or something.

Why is some reporter acting like she knew Hannah personally like she was this reporters daughter?
I've lost years.

I don't understand why so much of this is Elizabeth Vargas and Juju Chang talking
Was she depressed and try to kill her self? Maybe she didn't have another episode and was just tired... to many possibilities
Where s she now
Did they ever find Hannah Upp?

I watched the whole thing on A&E

No it's not. It's a dissociative disorder cause by a life threatening trauma.

yea, under the circumstances..... she went swimming with the fishy's

Its weird because wat do they do during the time wat are they thinking how why was she in the water.............
Am I the only addict that "says this is normal"? Drugs are a hell of a drug.
She seems to seek out water. Hopefully she is safe or the mother gets closure soon
May be she has mental health problem. Hope she is alive
It's says her diagnosis in the title

maybe she is a secret operative for some clandestine organization like Jason was.. either way it's gotta be disconcerting for her family..
