Hi , I don't know what or Kim would have to say about the memory part, but I have an idea. It's been my experience that during the first several weeks of withdrawing from the drugs, I suddenly get all these deep, weepy feelings. I also feel guilty over any little thing, and have these " shame attacks. " (I have done embarrassing things like call up people and apologize profusely for something that takes them completely by surpise at the triviality of my trespass). So, for myself, I chalk it up to deep emotions and feelings that suddenly start to " flood " in, as they have been previously very numbed by the drugs. Having emotion connected to memory is a very normal thing. A strong emotion can evoke memories that reside within or are linked directly to that emotion. Does this make any sense?
