i had testing as a child because i was born really early so was part of a study. when i was 11 or so, they found that my short term memory was really bad which caused me to struggle in school. so, that in combination with anxiety, depressive episodes, stress, dissociation, etc. makes it super bad. but with the memory issues, i also have time issues...i cannot keep track easily of the days. sometimes there are gaps where i'll think it's say monday and it's wednesday or reverse, so i am either ahead or behind..or totally lost. it never has changed, when i had a daily schedule and had to leave the house or now that i work at home and have no need for a schedule.

i had a weird situation in high school where i had to write an exam. i think it was a science exam. i cannot remember if i was in a different room than the one i was in for science and that was what messed me up or what, but i had zero recollection at that moment of even having taken science or what the exam was. somehow, i passed it though...i also had issues where i don't remember being good at school, yet i made the honor roll twice, and i managed to graduate. it still is weird to me years later because i barely remember being there or doing things.

but time and memory and all that are just confusing for me..
