Time agnosia
I really struggle with how so much of my day gets lost in time. I can use timers, I can use alarms. And yet, somehow, I never get half of what I want or need to do in a day. I avoid half of what I should do because I’m anxious over the time it will take. Or I’ve zoned out, did something on my phone, or wrote something in my journal. And now suddenly thirty minutes have passed. It feels like no matter how hard I try. Time is something I will never master. I was so proud of my 19 year old who told me today how well she’s been doing with managing her own time. This the girl who I had to yell at her for thirty minutes to get out of bed for school. For her to often just roll out of bed. Maybe brush her hair and teeth. Maybe shower, and go! She stopped taking her medicine, and said she’s doing better. Meanwhile I take mine four times a day, three different kinds, and I’m lost in wonderland. I often wonder if my meds are helping or hurting. But you can’t just stop them. So not much I can do right now. But anyone else struggling with time agnosia (aka time amnesia)?
