Does anyone feel like every day is the same. Like you relive the same day every day not on purpose but also I purposely do the same thing every day because I feel like I have amnesia and don’t know how to do anything else. No sense of time, days, seasons.

The only thing I know how to do is wake up, get dressed, go to work, come home and clean and go to bed. I hate doing anything else because I don’t know how to do it or react or act.

An example is my work schedule was wake up at 5:30. Work from 6:30-3:30.

Then it changed I didn’t have to be at work till 7:30. So it’s like I don’t know how to handle it and have to get used to this now because it’s weird. I can’t do change anymore. Which Is very strange to me! I used to never be this way.

Everything I do is different than the old way I used to be. The way I cook, take care of the kids, eveything. It’s like I’m a new person. I hate it. I’d rather be watching tv not having to do anything. Doing things are confusing and make no sense.

i forgot my whole life almost. I only know what’s happening right now. Music, food, things I loved are just memories in a way. I walk by them and know I used to like them but no I have different likes. I don’t live this life likes it’s mine. It’s like a new life I had to get used to. New personality, new mannerism, new likes and dislikes. What is happening to me?

youre talking about all of the stuff with using of metaphors. what you experience dont have anything to do with amnesia at all. its „just“ the loss of time-sense due to dp. whether your memory is completely gone nor your personality did change.

Chronological and emotional sense are important to memory. Some events are particularly memorable because they elicited an emotional response, which is in part due to the things that happened before and after the event. For example, I remember studying for the test because beforehand I dreaded it terribly and afterward I got an A and was elated. This person is describing an alienation from herself, which is consistent with depersonalization. Her days are blurring together and she is detached from her old sense of being a person. Emotionally it's like nothing matters.

What is happening to me?

Sounds like depersonalization. There are people here who will poo poo what I'm about to say, not referring to leminaseri, but you have to accept this is happening to you whether you call it depersonalization, dementia, or macaroni it doesn't matter. From realizing "I am me and this is happening to me," you'll have the potential to improve or at least adapt. I'd recommend seeing your general practitioner and a psychiatrist to get cleared for any other signs of physical or mental illness, because depersonalization is often an indicator of the latter.

I feel the very same, mentally inflexible, cognitively impaired, time flies by. I describe it as emotional amnesia, the memories are still there but they lost their meaning, which is the thread attaching them to ones personality. I try to engage in the things I know I liked, talk with my friends and not stress too much about it, in the hopes that I'll get those connections back...
