Ever just feel like you're losing it?

[mayanfire]

Lately I just feel like i'm literally losing my mind...I start something and something distracts me, and i don't realize that I haven't finished it...I just want to run away or bury my head in the sand.... :( How do you guys stay sane with all your responsibilities and problems?

This happens to me all the time and it has gotten worse as I get older. My mother, all my siblings and my DS are the same way so I think it is some sort of inherited ADD. My DH is used to it so he just does this. But it is very frustrating at times. One time last month DS and I were going somewhere just the two of us and we left the house and returned 3 times before we finally got everything we needed.

yes I have days like this...its just day to day stress and getting old I guess(so they say)..myself I just go back and finish what I dont get finished before I have to go do whatever... i think its that we just have to much to do and not enough time to do it in eah day..

Heh! Sometimes I think I have ADD. My dad does have it. I have taken tests online and according to them I don't have it. But... I do still wonder sometimes. I make lists then either forget to bring the list or do have it with me but just can't find it. Of course I will always find the list afterwards.

Worse still, I will have the list and forget one or two things on it. That is typical for me. Even though I will go through the list two or three times to make sure I didn't forget anyting. Grrr...

I will walk into a room, stop dead in my tracks and then think... Why did I come in here?

I will start to do something, get distracted then forget what I was doing.

I think it happens to all of us sometimes. Its worse in times of stress, my husband is pretty ill right now and we're awaiting test results, neither one of us can remember anything here lately.I had to go to the store 3 times in 2 days because I forgot to put stuff on my list. I could see if I didn't use a list, but I forgot to put stuff on the list! Thats half the reason I use a list! In times of less stress I still tend to be a bit forgetful. I use a lot of lists and I set my phone to remind me of thinks like appointments,birthdays, bills etc. It wont help you keep up with everything but it will help with some of it.

This could have been written about me!! I do the exact same things...I wish I was one of those organized put together people...I'm always running around like a lunatic and I can never find anything! grr

I"m sorry about your husband...When will he get his test results back?? I hope it will be good news and an easy fix when they come back... take care and good luck...

awww, we all had bad days or days when it seems like we can't remember a thing. It drives me crazy when I walk into a room and can't remember what I was seeking.

*lol* at least you got everything before you were at your destination, i guess...i hate when i forget things like that cause it's normally something so obvious...the one day i want shopping 25 minutes away and I FORGOT MY COUPONS! I just wanted to sit down and cry...i've been trying to look at the bright side of every situation and not let things get me down...i know it could always be worse so i've been trying to just take deep breathes and relax..

i just always feel like i'm in the hole trying to dig myself out...NEVER enough time it seems and im always tired!
