Can't even get dressed properly!

[scrambled86]

So I got distracted with my thoughts while getting dressed today - realised after being out, walking around, nipping into work and walking home that I hadn't even zipped up my jeans!! How embarrassing!!

I wish I wasn't so absent minded and impulsive...I constantly embarass myself, I think people must think I'm really weird.

Find me a hole and I'll jump right in it....

More and more frequently I feel like I'm loosing the plot ... in more and more noticeable ways to other people...which I seemingly have no control over...it's a horrible feeling.

(OMG I just did this the other day...again...)

This is exactly the point I have been reaching lately also - I've been cruising along thinking I was fine and then all of a sudden I would turn around and see so much destruction behind me that I hadn't even been AWARE of...and the boss saying, "You missed so-and-so-thing again...you really have to double check these things!"

...frickin frackin grr grr grrr...back off, boss lady, I'm fixin to asplode!

Just know that you are not alone!

I have this fear that one day I'll walk out of my home without my skirt on.

Belonging - I know exactly what you mean!

I gave up worrying about whether or not I've brushed my hair a long time ago ... but basic clothing is a necessity

Nice that other people can relate...thanks both! :-)

I also keep forgetting to take off my crappy flip flops and put on my nice shoes when leaving for work in the morning.

I have also tried to go to work wearing my suede and lambswool slippers in the wintertime...many times...

@belonging - I hope you don't end up doing that!

hehe...I once walked from my house to the end of my street on my way to work before realising I had my pyjama bottoms on still - I used to change at the last minute so I didnt get covered in dog hair and forgot! Lucky I noticed when I did

I have the same problem! Usually get out several things but can't decide what to wear or with what. My husband even buys clothes for me cause I'm a disaster when it comes to shopping at malls.

How about walking around most of the day with an item of clothing on inside out? I do that pretty regularly. I also have a tendency to put on shirts backwards.

I can totally relate to getting distracted by my thoughts while getting dressed... I try many outfits and then i look at my shoes and walk around for no reason, or sometimes I just stand in front of the closet biting my nails but I'm not even looking for clothes anymore I'm just kind of wasting time thinking then I realise Im gonna be late AGAIN and I'm in a rush so I have my hair all tangled up and forget my lunch and/or wallet and that's how a day starts for me! Since I,m on meds (6 weeks) it's not nearly as bad anymore

Or walking around with toilet paper hanging out the back.

hahah i've done even WORSE: going to the toilet and then you pull up ur panty hose OVER the back of your skirt (so it's like tucked in at the back and everyone sees it but you...)

[danelady]

BWAHAHA!! Which is exactly why I keep it simple! No more
pantyhose or skirts!

In the grey, early morning light, I threw on my shoes and ran off to the schoolbus. It must've been halfway through my day when I realized that one shoe I had on was mine, and the other was my mother's. Two different shoes, but hey, at least they were both black.

I can't count how many times I've worn my shirt inside out.

I keep deodorant under the sink at work, because I'm prone to leaving the house without. I have hairspray and baby powder there too, for those days I want to wear a skirt and my legs stick together.

I remember the pantyhose thing. I was at my step-grandparents' house, and for some reason I had a dress on. I can still vividly remember walking through the living room and into the kitchen, and everyone laughing their azzes off, because my skirt was tucked into my pantyhose. It's no wonder I'm so self conscious.

Yes! That is me.... every morning. It is so frustrating and I get so angry with myself - the thought that medication might help me is tempting.
