i;ve done this before a lot of times but I don't attribute it to my anxiety, could be though, unless you are constantly doing it, i would not worry

I have always lost blocks of time, or forgotten how to do sinple tasks like writing a check. These are due to dissociation that come along with PTSD (another anxiety disorder). Along with PTSD, I also have depression and anxiety. Things have a way of overwhelming my sences and then my brain decides to put the rest of the world on hold until it can catch up. That's when I lose time. I just thank god that I don't have to listen to elevator music while I'm waiting.

So I must have PTSD too? I am not at all familiar with that.. can anyone tell me more. Yes I lost blocks of time and more worrisome forget how to do simple tasks.. like Meow said. Even forget how to count . What is happening to me? :(

I lose hours at a time-i have been practising detachment meditation..it would be ok if I could control it..it kicks in when it doesnt want to worry..kinda zone out..

Nothing is happening to you. and I'm sure you don't have PTSD. You were probably a little tiered last night and got confused. It happens to me all the time! and it happens to a lot of people without anxiety.
Don't think of it too much... try to let it go...

i zone out a lot. i talked to my doctor about it, and now i'm going to see a neurologist because my doctor thinks it's petit mal seizures (i have a family history) and she wants to see what's causing it. she said it could also be my ptsd, or a combination of the two.

not to scare you, but if you have episodes that last longer than a couple of minutes or it starts happening while you are doing things like driving it might be good to talk to a doctor. i went to my doctor after i almost got into two car accidents in the same week.

This type of thing happens too often to me and has for the past year and a half. It could be PTSD now that I think about it. I did have a very traumatic experience last year that was ongoing for months. Can't go into details.. but I was afraid for my life during this time. This is when this all started really. Things are ok now.. but I think some type of permanent damage has been done to my brain or something.. because I feel zoned out so much and when I say "lose time" .. I am talking big chunks.. like I will think something happened three months ago only to find out it was 2 years ago. I don't know what to make of all this. I still live in a state of high anxiety. But not being able to count to 3? It is getting real bad.

i reckon this is a case of depersonilazation (sp) i knew someone who suffered it in this way, she'd be driving the car, then the next thing she'd end up somewere and not remember how she got there! she was first diagnosed with epilepsy and had her licence took away for 2 years! but she wasnt convinced so she found a private doctor and in the end she was diagnosed with anxiety!
