I've always been rather forgetful, even as a child. But it has gotten way worse since I had my breakdown and discovered that I have dissociation. There are times when I just do stupid things like my mind is just not there. Things like not being able to find my keys or my purse, or not physically being aware of things that are right in front of me. It gets much worse whenever I get stressed out or notice my parts are subconsciously active. The odd thing is that it doesn't usually happen at my job. I don't seem to forget things a lot there. But I do outside the office, around family and in social situations. My husband says sometimes he talks to me, and I seem not to hear him, that it's like I'm in a zone. Or he will tell me something, and I don't recall him telling me. People have said they waved at me but I didn't wave back, or they said hello to me and I just walked away. I don't remember doing those things! I would never intentionally ignore someone who was greeting me. Like I said, it's a lot worse when I am triggered or stressed about something. I don't know if it is related to my PTSD and DDNOS or if there is something else wrong with me. I've had my eyes checked, and I don't have tunnel vision or problems with peripheral vision. My hearing is fine too. But it's like so much of the time, I am not really in the present moment. I've been working on this with my t and my husband, but I don't seem to be making much headway, and it worries me. I hope I don't have early stage Alzheimer's or something. But like I said, it doesn't seem to happen at work. Does anybody know what might be going on?
