Port Said Red Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Not a side effect as such, but I keep finding that when I think back on things that have happened "recently", that they consistently happened about 2 years before I thought they did. It's like my mind has dismissed the Lockdown period and discounted it from calculations. Those memory things that come up on Facebook for example, always seem more recent in my head than the dates they show. Talking to friends it seems I am not the only one who has this "syndrome". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fairly commonplace ‘syndrome’ I think. During lockdown the only contact we had with friends was by phone and staying mostly indoors no fresh memories were created. Everything but supermarkets were shut and none of us were doing a thing worth remembering - so much so that I can’t remember anything I actually did during lockdowns.

You're definitely not the only one. I've just about got to the stage of adding time to guess-timates, but still generally out. Really does play with your mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 It really is odd, I'm quite similar. I daresay we all suffer a similar thing - to me 20 years ago is still 1980. Perhaps it's a similar thing, your mind has failed to pick up the missing years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Lockdowns had a huge effect on people in my family. Not going into details, but seriously changed people's personalities. Not a nice thing to have lived through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same, when I talk about the past it's like that period of time literally never happened 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thing is, do you remember The Season That No-one Saw? It was perhaps a good job we weren't there in person to witness the dire football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I painted my fence, and shelved out under the stairs during the first lockdown. Son was born in December, so just about between lockdowns, and we found out the day it was all getting serious on the radio about shops/businesses were talking about closing. Only scan I was allowed to go to, was the one we had done the day before fathers day, and that was because we paid for it through a private company. Wife had to do it all alone when it came to appointments and stuff. Agree with everything said above, it's basically a large chunk of everybodies lives, that all merge and blur into one (unless specific events happened on a personal basis). In that respect I think we've as a society, just wrote the time off and basically lost it. Edited January 26, 2023 by Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I really can't remember what I did for 18 months-2 years, basically expunged from my brain ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
