...when you're lost in your own head

Its really sad to think that in an instant, you can be lost inside your own head. Your thoughts, your mind, your very being, is gone. How scary would that be? I guess if you were like this, it really wouldn't be scary, because you wouldn't know the difference. To even think about it, brings fear. What if you woke up tomorrow and didn't remember your own name, or where you lived at, or who your family was. Its sad to think that this happens everyday to a lot of people.

Whats more terrifying is to know that this could happen to someone you know. It turns them into someone you don't know. It could take away your best friend, who will you tell all of your secrets to? Your father, who would you get midnight advice from? Or your spouse, who would you lean on? Just imagine that. How would you be able to deal with not having them anymore? It wouldn't be so much like the loss of a death, but its pretty damn close.

There isn't enough awareness out there for this. How come?
