Does anyone have it? A rough definition of it is this--it's when something reminds you of something else. Like seeing the city skyline and suddenly remembering the taste of blackberries, or seeing the letter A and thinking of the color red.

I have this, I think, at least a mild form. I don't like having it. It means that really normal stuff reminds me of things I don't like. For instance, the phrase 'that awkward moment when' brings up bad memories of various things. Same with the Relient K song, "Hope For Every Fallen Man".

How about ya'll?

I think I do too...but not very often. Sometimes I will see something and then remember something totally unrelated...this overlaps into conversations and stuff too, which means that a conversation with me will not likely stay on topic. :rofl:

I think in general I see things in an overlapping manner, making very little of what I say or think make much sense. o.O

o.O That sounds like me...everything reminds me of everything else even remotely connected to it!

I have it every now and then. It was stronger before, and at some points made me quite depressed, so I fought hard against it. :P

Occasionally. When I think of... wow, I can't think of any good examples right now. :P

So, this implies certain things reminding you of other things that actually have no connection? Because I can hear a certain song and be reminded of bowling with friends, but that's only because I heard that song on the radio at the bowling alley.
