i don't miss time in that way. for me, it's more noticeable if i know i'm dissociating where i can feel it and then things just are very fuzzy. but for me, i don't really move as in don't leave the house, etc. well, i do have a few types of dissociation..but my sense of time is....just as confusing.

long term stuff, i can remember some things but get the years completely confused. i think something happened a year ago when it was two or more years ago.

short term, it's more like months i get confused on...i cannot keep track of the day...as much as i am 'here,' i don't remember a lot of day to day stuff either, but i'm not sure it's necessarily because of dissociation.

i just have a bad memory from a few things, but dissociating doesn't help much either.

i can remember in high school i had to take an exam. i had no recollection of what i had even learned in the class or that i had even been in it. i am not sure if in that moment i was confused because i was in a different room and it threw me off or it was a result of just being so far gone that i didn't really know what was going on. it freaked me out though (but i did pass the exam).

for me though, even just stress or something can make my sense of time go strange.

it doesn't bother me so much just because i don't have a lot go on in my life for it to matter....kind of sad but true...

i did lose two months this year as a result of trauma of having lost someone very important to me. i generally don't lose that much time and not really in that way...but i guess that was a different type of situation.

i don't see things in third person though (just for past stuff, not recent). i just don't have much memory of things or it's really unclear/fuzzy.
