Okay, I may have actually already asked this question before, which will be quite ironic considering what the question is about (remembering things!). If I did ask, I forget, so forgive me!

My life is like this big dreamy blur. I literally am not sure what really happened, what I read somewhere, what was something I dreamed, etc. Not in my distant past - I just mean little recent things. Like today, for some reason I was thinking of having my car painted (something I would never do, so I don't even know where this train of thought came from) and I had this vague feeling that I saw something somewhere about a cheap new way to paint your car. It kind of felt like something I dreamed about? But what a weird dream. Or maybe I read it somewhere? This is how my mind works ALL DAY LONG. I'm constantly kind of confused about dreams vs. reality. And I can't remember things I really WANT to remember - like whatever T said to me at the end of my last appointment. I remember feeling not very grounded when T was talking to me - sort of that watching from across the room feeling - and I remember trying to really see him and hear him because it felt like what he was saying was important (it seemed like a lot of positive things about me and how I'm doing in therapy) and I *thought* I might be hanging on to it, but I really can't remember it very well now. I have so many examples. Like, the day is FILLED with them.

Does anyone else's mind work this way? I feel SO not present in my own life. Sometimes I wonder if different parts of me are living out different parts of the day, so the memory is stored with them? But if that's true, why do I have this kind of vague dreamy memory of stuff?

I don't know if this makes ANY sense. Just wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone I guess.
