Today I could not get it together no matter what. I kept getting yelled at for stuff when I thought I was following directions; I kept bumping into people at the mall; I keep forgetting why I walked into rooms and losing everything I put my hands on -- this is all while ON meds!:confused:

I've also managed over the past week to pour milk in the steam maker part of the cappicino machine. I've done this several times and have no memory of doing it!:eyebrow: Messes are building behind me faster than I can clean up the current ones. My twitches, tics or whatever are worse. And I'm just generally more anxious, irritable and incompetent -- what is up? Sure hope this doesn't continue. Ah twell, on Thursday I'll make it my counselor's problem for an hour.:p

"Very" Scattered

Wow that sounds very negative. You have a bad day? Well, if you go to bed then when you wake up everything will be different.

I do the same thing Scattered. Its disconcerting to say the least. You can't fix it because you don't know what you did different. If it simply were not getting enough sleep, or something you ate or even a change in meds, you could "fix" the problem. Just be careful for awhile and treat yourself with kid gloves. I was in a similar state of befuddlement when I totaled my truck. I lucked out and didn't hurt anyone else, or myself. Just the same, be careful.

My husband has the car today, so at least the folks using the roads are safe today!:)

Scattered, I get like that when I'm under stress, and my anxiety is high. Is there something stressful going on in your life right now that you're worrying about?

OMG! You do that. If it's not laundry day at our house, you're on your own. :p

Chameleon, I am more stressed -- I'm not sure which came first though the stress or the poor functioning which causes stress, because I can't live up to my responsibilities. Doesn't matter much at this point, since it's a bit of a vicious circle.

I second that comment. As hard as I try to keep up with the laundry, it just does not seem to go down at all.

As far as the way you are feeling, I have those feelings on a daily basis lately. People keep telling me that I need to just slow down and start saying no to people when they want things. Yea, okay.......I am a single mom during the week, have 3 kids and do daycare in my house. Please oh please tell me how am I suppose to slow down :rolleyes:

If I slow down anymore, I'll be going backwards -- I'm not sure that isn't already true, come to think of it!:eyebrow:

Scattered, I can truly relate to your problems and I truely feel pity for your daily problems. (even as a male)

Yes the forgetting-to-do-the-laundry problem. It's a big problem.

Or rather it's the being "absent minded" problem.

Unfortunately I can't better your situation. Perhaps you should try to lessen the time you spend on addforums.com.

It's soo funny... You can't do the laundry, but you spend time posting on a forum. :D

Now log off and do the laundry lol.

But come back when you have done the laundry.

I'm sure steven d was only trying to be half heartedly funny but I think I was just offended for you. Remember the defensive post...

I have to stop now.

Hey Scattered, I'm a stay at home mom too. Isn't it amazing what doesn't get done? I hate it when people ask me what I do all day. They say "now that you have all this time...". Laundry is my biggest problem. Sometimes I don't leave the house for several days to punish myself for not putting it away. I'll do everything else or not do anything at all because I feel overwhelmed. My husband has learned to wash his own laundry, he still leaves it to me to put it away but at least he has clean underwear. I feel so much better when I do put it away, everytime I tell myself I'm not going to let it pile up again...but of course I do.

Laundry is a huge sticking point for me. But my husband and I compromised. Since I'm the handy"man" in the house, and to stop our arguments over who does what to help around the house, he just took the laundry job. He takes 24 hours and just runs through all the loads as fast as he can and our kids help put their clothes away.
