Can't concentrate well enough to read posts, much less respond.
Someone needs to follow me around with a camera for one of those funniest moments videos. I'm lucky I remember to get dressed. I'm annoying everyone I talk to by not grasping a word they say. And when I speak, I stop midsentence and forget what I'm saying. Or substitute the completely wrong word (which can be extremely embarassing at work). Or totally forget the word for what I want to say... that thingy that you put to your head and you can talk to people on it - oh yeah, the telephone. And not just a few times, either. So frequently that the people at my office today looked like they want to shake me. And my husband is making me look at him and repeat what he says, not that that helps. I dutifully do so and then forget five seconds later.
I can't quite figure it out. No med changes lately. I've been sleeping ok. A lot of headaches, which tend to come in cycles. So I might be focussing on blocking the headache pain. But even that hardly accounts for it. My therapist says it sounds like I'm dissociating more than usual, but doesn't have the answer for how to stop. I'm just walking through things in a fog.
Anyway, I didn't want anyone to worry that I haven't been posting or at any rate, not much more than no message posts. Just hard to gather my thoughts. I'm fine though. Just spacey.
