Over the last few days, maybe a little over a week now this really incredibly annoying thing has been happening to me. And I don't know why. Mostly, it's just very annoying and makes me pause, but since it's been happening with more frequency recently... thought I might ask if anyone else has any insight or any experience with this sort of thing...

We never really lose time'. Sometimes there are some crossed wires or some such but... Recently I've been (and it seems to be mostly me, since I'm Up mostly) experiencing this... issue. Where I BELIEVE I have done something, where I REMEMBER doing it in actual vivid detail, but then it hasn't happened... For instance, sending emails, or sending someone an IM or calling someone on the phone. I will vividly remember what's happened for that event but then find out a bit later that I DIDN'T DO IT...

It's starting to bother me...

Just a quirky strange complaint specific to me, or anyone else experienced something similar?

I don't know what its called when that happens but i get it alot.
I once thought i had written and essay and handed it in when i hadn't even started. I just had to write from the memory of the essay i had already written.
Just so you know you're not alone.

Yes! Very similar to that, actually. Thanks. It's a bit better knowing I'm not alone in the weirdness of it ^_^

I work tech support and last night I had thought I had finished up some work that I had totally not even started...

but I also thought I was in the middle of helping a customer only to find that I had given them the closing and disconnected with them a few minutes before...

That happens to me too, though it's usually when I'm tired. It's pretty strange.

Happens when I'm tired but... it never feels this ~real~ then.

I have entire mental images/memories of DOING the things. Not just the feeling of having done them... actual full-blown memory of the events as they happened...

Only they haven't...

Yes, especially when stressed. I don't think it has to do with multiplicity. I've heard plenty of relatives say that they can't remember if they mailed a letter or just dreamed that they did it. If you've dreamed about doing certain things, it can sometimes be very difficult to convince yourself that they didn't happen as such.

oh yeah us too when real tird or stressed, its like a dream feeling . I think its ike a brain hiccup and lots of singlets do it to its like the brain skipping a wave or something .

I'm not sure I've been dreaming them though... it doesn't often happen that I feel that way, though once in awhile I'll dream of something and think it's real for awhile... this is just happening in the middle of the day at random, and has been fairly annoying recently.

Thank you for the comment ^_^

We've had entire conversations with people without actually having spoken to them. 'lol' When we tuned into it, it stopped happening as often and now it doesn't happen at all.

What you are experiencing is what I used to call false memory syndrome; I got it when I was really tired. It has, to the best of my knowledge, nothing whatsoever to do with being plural. More than anything else, I associate it with stress and not eating enough.

When I first heard other people talk about false memory syndrome, I thought that was what they meant.

All the time. It really bugs me, because I remember taking meds so completely that I'm convinced I did it...I have to use a marker on my desk to indicate if I actually did or not.

Don't know if this is the same, but sometimes I'd 'tune out' of the world and have a conversation with someone, then snap back and realize that I'm just sitting in front of the person, not saying anything at all. And things of that such.

As for full blown memories... dunno, I haven't had that. But it'd freak me out. heh.

Yes, apparently all my life. There are things I knew as true, that I have told and retold as fact, that I recently found out never happened. Yet I find myself still telling the "stories" because it seems so real.
