I used to ( not all the time but when I was at the peak of symptoms whatever that means) i couldn't keep track of what day except for the weekends( especially the date)unless I had a frame of reference. ( a schedule, looked at my phone, etc). UNTIL NOW. Why? I dunno. I just realized without having to check I knew it was Thursday Dec 8. Whaaaaa??

Go zoo gal... It's your birthday...

Yep! That happened to me in April this year. Since then, I stopped being afraid of men, became able to plan long-term, got practiced at consistent self-care, became able to feel safe in many more places than just my room, became able to talk about my trauma, developed a huge support system, and basically just felt a lot more in control of my life which allowed me to improve tons of aspects of it. Life is freakin' hard when you're missing class because you think it's a different day and you're dissociating all the time and crying often. I don't know your trauma history or how resourceful you are, but mine was multiple traumas and I'm pretty resourceful, so in about 8+ months, if you work hard to improve your life one tiny goal at a time, you could be generally happy and live a mostly normal life except for stressful periods when you get symptom flares.

On top of the issues that brought me here the past year and a half has been bad anyway. Alot of family drama plus lost two family members, one to suicide, and now that all of that is finally calming down I can focus on the other issue. Thanks you all.
