Memory Problems

[hungryghosts]

Do you struggle to remember outerworld happenings, experience time blindness, forget skills, or have other memory problems? How do said problems interact with your plurality, if at all? (For example: forgetting tasks when switching, new headmates not knowing outerworld life info, and so on.) How do you manage those problems?

(They don't necessarily have to be caused by a dissociative disorder - memory problems from ADHD or that just don't have an identifiable source are relevant here, too.)

time blindness is basically our life 24/7.

we have gone over 15 or so hours just writing or playing games, and when we look at the clock it feels like we’re living in 5x speed, like fast-forwarding time in the sims.

we also have memory gaps, and things can get lost in translation. we have had alters misplace our important documents for months only for another alter to remember where we put them.

it’s less than ideal and really inconvenient but ever since we started using dreamwidth we’ve had an easier time with memory tracking. we used to keep a physical diary but writing is hard for us due to our limited motor skills. typing is easier, so we use a diary online.

sometimes we’ll remember to do something, but then someone will switch in and we’ll draw blanks. it feels kind of like a wall is put in-between what needs to be done.
