haha "or is he just being an inconsiderate twat"...sorry but I found that amusing, it's something I would say!

... well... I must say I have great difficulty with sense of time. I am known for saying "what day is it? Is it monday, tuesday or wednesday? What's the date?"... I lose track of where I am in time very often.

If it wasn't for me having a diary that I have trained myself to look at everyday I wouldn't know where I am and probably wouldn't pay bills on time either. I have already written on every bill date, every month in the diary when I have a bill and how much. I write it on the day before it's due, so if anything I tend to be early just in case I forget to look at my diary that day. When I'm in a bad space, I write every day what I have to do... else I'll wake up, get so far, and then be hit my symptoms and I get caught up in PTSD and totally forget whatever I had to do that day.

If I didn't have my diary I would think it is June and not May (did this yesterday in fact).

For me personally... I reckon it's PTSD. It could just be me being skitty and blonde... however, I think it is PTSD because I find that when I'm in a strangehold of it, going through lots of symptoms, or lots of outside stress on top especially... to me it doesn't feel like one day ends and another even begins. My nights are as traumatic as the days at times... I don't switch off, and don't relax... it's emergency mode non-stop at times like this. It makes sense that if someone is in such a high state of vigilance and anxiety that sense of time would be affected, and remembering simple things like bills becomes low priority to a PTSD sufferer who feels in threat in the now...

Basically... too much in the cup, it overflows and a person can't keep up with the spilling... same for everyone I guess... if you have too much on your plate, you end up forgetting things... except in this case it's quite extreme and continuing...

I really recommend a calender on the fridge of important dates for bills etc., and a diary to list what needs to be done when... and then reminding him to look at it every day until it becomes automatic!
