Beginning to think I'm losing it and must've taken them out of the room with me and I looked back and there they are on the windowsill. As if someone had moved them and put them back. I am so freaked out right now. How could I not have seen them?! It has really shaken me up. Can anyone reassure me? Has this sort of thing happened to you?

Yes I have had that happen to me once. I was sitting at a desk writting. I put my pen down on the desk to look at some papers and when I went to pick up the pen again I couldn't find it. I just kept looking at the desk. I hadn't gotten up and hadn't dropped it on the floor. Interestingly enough I couldn't visualize the pen in my mind. I was looking for the pen but didn't have a picture of it in my mind. Suddenly the picture of the pen entered my mind and as I was looking at the desk the pen appeared. It was right in front of me. That freaked me out. I had had an auto accident a month or so earlier so I thought it was from that. I will never know. I was also DID then but didn't know at the time. The only correlation I can make to not seeing the pen on the desk was that I didn't see it in my mind. And when I did I could see the pen on the desk. I wouldn't worry too much unless it happens often. Than I would go see a neurologist for a check up. Feel better.
