I don't know if it is just me but I feel like when I got an PTSD Attack from yesterday (5/6/16) It lasted for about from 11:30 am to 3:35 am but then I was starting to get a little bit off of the peak of an PTSD attack but then I realized that I can't remember that weekend cause of that attack and yet I'm posting this today and it feels like I won't even remember posting this while coming off an peak of an PTSD attack.

I don't know what that PTSD disorder is called but I hope I'm not the only one.
Please, help me.
 
I'm a bit confused so my apologies if my reply isn't in line with your post.

I know that for me my memory making function goes out the window when I'm in an episode. I think it has to do with brain functioning power needed elsewhere i.e. to keep us safe/get us out of danger; plus it's probably not the best for long term functioning to remember all the details of when we're in a fight/flight state.
 
Not being able to remember is usually either a facet of disassociation or compartmentalizing, but can be other things, as well. In part it would depend on what you mean by PTSD attack.

Panic attack
Anxiety attack
Disassociation spell
Flashbacks
Intrusive thinking
Depression &/or Suicidal Ideation
Unregulated emotions / emotion storms to total loss of emotions
Isolating
Paranoia
Hypervig
Etc.
As well as any combo of the above.

People have different symptoms, and different combos of symptoms, and different expressions. So what something is called varies depending on what's being experienced.
