Massive memory issues for me. I hadn't really noticed it until last year, before I was diagnosed. I realised I couldn't really remember my honeymoon. I knew I'd been on it, where I'd been and when, but it wasn't really a memory. I describe it as like thinking forward to the Xmas coming, you know who's going to be there, where you'll be and what you'll be doing, but it isn't a memory.
Since then though it's gotten dangerously worse. I walked into the kitchen a couple of days ago and there was a nice hot meal on the side. I was the only person in the house, so I must have made it, but I have no recollection whatsoever of it.
Unfortunately I got myself into some legal trouble in a manic episode last year, and whilst I admitted to everything that was put to me, I had to say I have no recollection of it. I'm really struggling to get the authorities to believe me that there are memory issues; one social worker even suggested I'd groomed health professionals to get them to give me a diagnosis of Bipolar! I pointed out to her that I'd been to the docs 4 years ago and sought help for what I believed was Bipolar, only to be turned away.
