[ CW ] Show a character suffering from a mental disorder without naming it .

John woke up, confused, as he usually does. That was n't what bothered him today. What bothered him was he did n't know where he was. Usually he's at least at home. But today was different, he was in bed with a young woman. He did n't know her. He was also naked. He got up to look for his clothes and the woman rolled over. 
 
 `` Good morning hot stuff'', she said to him as she sat up in bed. `` You know Eric, you do n't always have to leave. You could stay for breakfast.'' 
 
 John mumbled something about about a busy day and ran out the door. She had called him Eric. That's not his name. Not even his middle name. Was she confused? Was he confused? John did n't know. He just left. Home. That was where he needed to be, to collect his thoughts and try getting down to business. 
 
 These lapses in memory were not new to John. He'd had them for a while. But they'd been getting worse. With that woman calling him Eric he was seeing a pattern. He'd been called other names before, but in passing, like on the street, so he always blew it off for mistaken identity. But this was getting too real. 
 
 John would wake up somewhere he did n't go to bed. He would be in clothes he did n't recognize. And now in beds unknown. He was getting scared and he did n't know what to do. Panic. It seemed like the only option. But he could n't. He had to keep it together or he might be lost forever.
