===Short term memory suppression===

The complete failure of a person's short term memory. It can be described as ~~a person~~ becoming being completely incapable of remembering any specific details regarding the present situation for more than a second or two. This is capable of resulting in [[Thought loops|thought loops]], disorientation, loss of control and confusion for the inexperienced. Long term memory however remains entirely intact as people are still perfectly capable of recollecting their name, date of birth, childhood school, etc.

This is defined as a complete failure of a person's long term memory. It can be described as ~~a total loss~~ of ~~control in which the person becomes~~ completely incapable of remembering even the most basic fundamental human concepts stored within the long term memory. This includes one's name, identity, home town, that they are on drugs, what drugs even are, what human beings are, what life is, what existence is or what anything is.

The most notable of these, however, is the loss of one's sense of self. ~~This~~ results in the profound experience that although one is not unconscious, there is no longer an “I” experiencing current sensory input; there is just the input as it is and by itself.
