Anyone else find it absolutely abhorrent that the gold Youngster medal doesn't unlock a pair of comfy & easy to wear shorts?

Pokemon GO is bringing my wife back to me from a dissociative episode. Long post - Story time.

Posted: 14 Feb 2018 11:54 AM PST

My name is Ken, and this is a story of me and my wife, and Pokemon Go. I do not mind sharing our names, as they are pretty common. Brittany currently has C-PTSD due to 17+ years of abuse from age of 3 and up. I won't go into details of the abuse, as it is not my place to do so. This story starts the year we met (2016).

TLDR; Pokemon GO is bringing my wife back to me from a dissociative episode. Thank you for creating this game, John Hanke.

A little backstory about us: my brother and her adopted sister are married and have known each other for 8ish years. During this time, we met each others family and had multiple family dinners. However, we NEVER saw each other during this time. Not once. My brother and her sister tried hard to get us to meet, though we were not really interested in each other.

Because of her abuse growing up, she stuck with alcohol, drugs, cutting, and attempted suicide multiple times. I would have never agreed to be friends with someone like that.

Roughly 2 months before we met I woke up on my day off (Wednesday) and found myself being told to check Facebook. Being a Christian, I believe whole heartedly that it was God telling me to do so. I told myself it was as stupid idea to check, but I did. I saw Brittany in the "People you may know" section and told myself I have gone 5+ years without speaking with her or seeing her, so I wouldn't add her. The following week, on a Wednesday, I woke up again to the same thing happening. This time I checked Facebook, saw her again, and added her. This was the start of our relationship.

Brittany has a child, and lived in Texas at the time we "met" online. She was coming to Nevada to celebrate her daughters first birthday with her mom and had invited me to meet her and her child. Upon meeting her we instantly hit it off. Staying up until 2:00am talking about life and what she was doing in Texas (which is a completely different story). We ended up spending a lot of time together when we could before she had to leave again for Texas. A few days after she came to Nevada, she had left back to Texas. We kept in communication via the phone and spoke to each other every night and moment we could. A month later I asked her to date me long distance and she agreed.

Over the course of a few months we ended up getting closer together and she ended up moving back to Nevada for good to grow and be closer to family and me. I like to think it was only for me, but I know it wasn't.

A little after she had moved back, a game called "Pokemon Go" had released on July 6th. Personally, I LOOOOOVE Pokemon. She on the other hand, had no interest in it and said it was stupid. A week went by, and I was having fun playing it. Little did I know that she had actually downloaded the application and was playing! I was so excited about it, we started playing together, and things were looking good.

Fast forward a few months; life is good, we got engaged, and things were looking up. Then September/November came…

While working, Brittany had a box of frozen pies (roughly 40 pounds) fall on her head at work. The company failed to report the injury, and there is no way to prove this happened so we cannot sue or get compensation. Any way, this triggered something in her mind and her C-PTSD, at this time only speculated was the issue, to cause a huge dissociative episode.

To those who do not know what a dissociative disorder is - dissociative disorders are mental disorders that involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity. People with dissociative disorders escape reality in ways that are involuntary…Dissociative disorders usually develop as a reaction to trauma and help keep difficult memories at bay (remember, 17+ years of abuse). Symptoms — ranging from amnesia to alternate identities. (Description found on Mayo Clinic)

Brittany had forgotten everything; Her work, her family, me, her daughter, where she lived, etc. She woke up one morning not remembering anything. Ever seen 50 first dates? Yeah, like that. As someone who was madly in love with a beautiful soul and person I was confused on what had happened. I did research almost every moment I could, between PTSD and memory loss, losing time, dissociative disorders, etc. I personally took her to different Doctors in town and they ran as many scans as possible. Nothing was ever found. Nothing was wrong with her brain. We saw professionals who were dumbfounded by the issue at hand.

For the next weeks Brittany was going in and out between knowing me, her daughter, family, and life. She would know me for a minute or two and we would have a moment of pure bliss with each other, and as fast as she knew me, she had no idea who I was again. I spent most of my time explaining to her what was happening, and why she didn't know anything or anyone. She was mostly understanding, as understanding as she could be in her situation. She would understand until her mind forced her to forget everything again, and again, and again…I tried to keep my thoughts and emotions together, a lot of the time I had to walk away and deal with them.

During the months before the accident at work, she had gotten into Pokemon and we were watching Pokemon XY/Z. This is substantial to the story because Pokemon ended up being a for sure method to pull her out of her state and back into the here and now for a period of time, or at least enough to where she knew who I was and knew she loved me. I remember one time, we were watching Pokemon, and she poked at my arm and said "I love you, I know I do, but I cannot remember why". Her look was heartbreaking, so much confusion and emotions pouring from her eyes. Another time she looked at me and said "I know you, but I cannot figure out who you are". Her memories where coming back, but they were scattered.

Pokemon ended up being a show we watched often during this time period, along with Big Bang Theory (her favorite show) because it allowed her mind to pull memories and bring her back.

Her mom had spoken with a friend who recommended that we visit Amen Clinic in Walnut Creek, CA. They specialize in SPEC scans and are able to determine what is happening in a different way than we had already tried. We agreed to visit this doctor, and Brittany's mom forked out the 5k to visit this Doctor. During this time, Brittany was still going in and out of knowing things. We had finished the 2 day process with the Clinic and was explained the results. She had been diagnosed with C-PTSD and because of this caused the dissociative issues. There was nothing that could be done to have her pulled out of it, and time simply had to bring her back to the "here and now".

It took roughly a month before her memories came back, either completely or fragmented. Some memories never returned, and she simply needs to believe me when I say it happened. She seemed to be better around the end of January 2017. The doctor for Amen Clinic continued to stick with us, providing medications and insight into the situation when we had questions. Unfortunately, the medications that were being provided caused more harm than good. We ended up no longer taking medications and she got better. Though, because of her PTSD she has an intense headache that mimics a migraine/stress headache. She says its like a rubber band wrapping around her head and trying to pop it like a pimple.

On 8/26/2017 we got married. Life was good, trying to figure out or lives together. Visiting doctors and trying to fix her headaches we started Neurofeedback. This seemed to be working! Her headaches were not as intense, her vision was seeming to be clearer. Things were looking good.

Faster forward, again, to Feb. 8th 2018, driving to work (Wells Fargo) she ended up having another episode where she has now forgotten most things. Don't worry, we car pooling and I was driving! She is now stuck in September 16, 2016, and is slowly moving back and forth between memories and things seem to be getting better. Again, Pokemon seems to be the reason she is coming back to the "here and now". She really enjoys Pokemon Go, and I am playing it more and more with her this time to keep her memories coming back. I don't know how long it will take for her to come back to the here and now, but I am keeping my head held high and am loving her through it all.

Honestly, I'm scared her job will not be there when she comes back out of it, working for a corporation it is understandable that someone cannot be out of work for a long period of time. She has only been working for 6 months, so medical leave is out. Although, I am trying to get her covered. I am doing what I can, and it is taxing on my emotions. I am currently trying to figure out if I need to find a job that pays enough to where if this happens in the future I can cover all of our expenses. We have a safety net that will allow us to pay for all of our bills and such for a few months which should allow her to come out of it and either keep working at WellsFargo or find a new job. I am not asking for help of any sort, I just wanted to share my story and emotions about the situation.
