I asked this q in the bipolar forum but it didn’t resonate there. I thought this was a bipolar symptom; I even thought I read that once. I guess not.

I have a problem tracking time. I really cannot tell what time of day it is. I don’t know whether to say good morning or good afternoon. I have to set alarms to remember to go home from work and many other things.

I have a hard time telling what day it is. Monday is easy. After that it gets murky. Telling Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday apart is hard without looking at the calendar. Sometimes I don’t know it’s Friday, and I say “Goodnight” instead of, “Have a good weekend.”

Worse yet, sometimes I can’t remember what month it is. Especially at certain times of the year, and I don’t know why. Sometimes it’s really bad and I’m so embarrassed in front of someone.

I know I’ve gotten pretty good at blocking things I don’t want to think about, and I’m starting to wonder if that might be causing the time tracking problem.

This isn’t new. It’s not my meds. This is me my whole life.

And it’s not consistent. Sometimes I operate just fine, but not usually. If there was something wrong with my brain, it would always be the case. I think.

Is this weird? Is it a symptom of complex PTSD? Or maybe it’s just my own idiosyncrasy.
