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

[Forgetful]

When you watch your favorite show every week and their son is 8 months. Last one you remember she just tells her her husband she's pregnant. Where'd the time go?

When you can't remember if a repeated nightmare happened the same day or a decade ago. :confused:

When you wake from a half sleep half awake kind of feeling to the feeling that someone is behind you in the bedroom, but you live alone. You turn around, just to make sure, but no one is there.

When you get so lost in paranoia that it's hard to focus on reality.

 

[Ronin]

When your problem with paranoia is how boring it gets so quickly.

Either you're back to a scenario you can't cover, in which thinking who should takes your focus, calm sets in and so does boredom, or it's something immediate, in which case you can cover it, so why was I paranoid about this in the first place?

All around you still need to figure the balance between paranoia and boredom. Boredom pushes you to the edge way faster.

When you wish someone Happy Thanksgiving on July 4th. ROFLMAO....I actually did that.

A week has between 2 and 6 days

 

[Ronin]

I actually did that.

Me too, another year.

Couldn't remember what the hell we're celebrating, knew we're holding something American, and that came out of it. :)

Implicit memory, explicit memory, and verbalizing either of them are three different universes.

Fine, never f*cking mind. I'll speak in metaphors and hope people get it. And wait before I bang head to wall as that isn't known to improve functionality.

When you discover a painful injury you have no memory of recieving.

 

[alex coulson]

when you set things in your lap and you could swear you gave it to somebody else...
when you try to remember the day but all you remember is fog...
when you get that weird twitch and enter a staring contest...

When you reverse steal a pack of OTC sleeping meds. (meaning I paid for the stuff that I bought, but left it at the store anyway)
