Hi Ellie_jo,
I like your name, by the way.
During hypomania, I have some difficulties like: I might go to water the plants and find they were freshly watered. I then find out I had just watered them. I might go to take meds and I need to check my daily med record, because I may have taken the med 5 minutes ago and I cannot recall. (In my case, this is more of an "attention" issue, which looks like a "memory" issue. I fail to encode the fact that I have already done these things. Since I have not entered that info into my brain's processor, it cannot be recalled.)
I also have more difficulty remembering what I did all day and relating that to anyone, including a therapist. At other times in my life, I have detailed sequential recall of the events of the day, not so much with hypomania.
I do recall previously learned info at an alarming rate, however.
My best to you,
WC
