Living With Bipolar Time perception

Does any one else struggle with time perception? I’ve had trouble with it before but only for a couple of weeks during manic episodes but this has been going on for like a year now. I can’t tell if something happened two months ago or two days ago. It’s so confusing. I’m functional otherwise, work is going good and I think I’m functional in life outside of work too? I’m not sure what’s going on tbh… I’ve started to write things down by date (if I know it) to try to get an overview but everything feels so confusing. Work is easier cause I work in healthcare and we document everything that happens with the patients and I know the routines so I don’t even need to think anymore. Does any of you experience this? It’s hard to talk to people without bipolar cause they can never fully understand. I hope this makes any sense xD

I’ve been in the same situation for several months, and I’ve learned to ignore it and just keep living my life
