pluralquestionscurrently our life is a bit of a mess because of this. Our sense of time is super warped (thinking it's been a day when it's been a week, thinking it has been a week when it has been a day, forgetting what year or month it is or how old we are, etc. right now for some reason we keep getting confused and thinking it is November)
we keep trying calendars and journaling and stuff but that is just one more timed activity we need to remember to do on time and only seems to make things worse. previously our bipolar tracking app was sort of helping because it had scheduled check-in notification function but then it broke at some point and doesn't do that anymore for reasons we haven't been able to fix.
it is frustrating because most common advice doesn't seem to help with this (it does help with some other things, so we keep trying but this is still a huge problem) we are considering looking into maybe seeing if any ADHD advice helps (even though we don't have ADHD, but the time-blindness seems similar/maybe a point of needing similar tools?)
if you guys struggle with time, what do you do? do you use any of the common methods, do you do something weird that is surprisingly useful? has advice for other neurodivergencies helped you?
