You Know You've Been Dissociating/being Absent Minded When...

[Friday]

When it was Monday for three days, solid, (OMFG. Will Monday never end??? How is it still Monday? Monday? Still? Again!?! FFS can we be done with Monday, yet?) skipped Tuesday, and now it appears to be Wed night? :banghead:Unless it's Tuesday afternoon, in which case, I'm relieved, but I also just quit. Because I woke up Wednesday. Christ. What f*cking month is it?

Yo. Time. We'd appreciate some LINEAR up in this bitch.

When you can't afford dissociating time - you just let go of everything else, & it implodes time anyway.

Nevermind. I finally remembered the name of that ship I couldn't remember :D I'm good, atrocious memories had their bright spots, too.

When you swear the wallpaper is supposed to be purple.

Wait. I don't have wallpaper anymore... ah. right.

Someone texted me about something, and I replied, "aw man, not today, maybe Friday." They texted back "it IS Friday"

... How long has there been a cat on my lap? Point. Whose cat is this? :O_o:

When you are snuggling with a friend and he offers you a "penny for your thoughts" because you "seem to be have been thinking about something" and you can't accept his penny as you have no idea what your thoughts were. He then thinks you aren't that into him as you won't share your thoughts as "mind seems to be elsewhere." :-(

...when you black out somehwere, and then end up somewhere else nearby, and you have no idea...

How are you sleeping? I get this way after some nights of poor sleep.

I forget what I was thinking about all the time. Gets frustrating.

When you are delighted by the sound of children laughing, yet it leaves you feeling bereft and you are once more back in that tiny room listening to other children your age outside play on the stoop, while you have to stay inside and ... :(

when an entire day happens and suddenly it's the next day but if someone asked you what you did all day you couldn't really answer

When ^^ ditto.

Ask me who I talked to & what I'd seen in the day, I might have a clue.

& When

Sorry. I was busy getting through the trigger minefield. You were saying, dear?

Caveat that I'm absent minded, not dissociative (probably).

When you're about to leave, and want to get a drink for the road, so you grab a can of soda. You step outside, and realize you forgot the drink, then go inside to get one, then leave again, only to realize you'd gotten sidetracked and forgotten it again, go back inside, and get one. Reach for a drink later when you're thirsty and realize there's three cans in your purse.

When you need to pay for something, and are tearing your wallet and or purse apart trying to find it, panicking that you cannot find it and worried about how you're going to pay, when the clerk hands you your card back with the receipt.

When you then ask for the drink you purchased, the clerk looks confused, and you repeat the question, and a third time, still not having gotten your drink, at which the clerk points to the drink in your hand.
