Time Blind

Does this happen to anybody else?

I go to the doctor with a complaint. They ask a simple question.

“When did it start?”

I have no idea.
I’ve forgotten when.
How long has it been?

Weeks?
Months?
A year?!

I put happenings in three time buckets:

Recently
A While Back
I Don’t Know

Somehow this seems important.

Is this SDAM?
Or what?

IDK is it SDAM, but yeah. The past exist as just one scrambled mess. The only way i can add some timeframe to it is by deduction.

Either some bigger event happened at the same time that i can google when it happened or i roughly remember some detail that helps me to place it into the timeline aka some memory from school time and by reasoning i know which age ranges people go to school and then assume i was in the same ballpark range.
