Is this exhaustion?

[Breadandsticks]

Want another opinion, I haven’t shared with anyone in real life, but I keep having moments where I genuinely go blank, when I shouldn’t.

For example, I called my OH, I was at home and he was out. He called me 20 minutes later, and I honestly had zero recollection of calling him! Then a few hours later I remembered calling him but I couldn’t tell you why.

This morning I was changing the babies pull ups (baby is nearly 2), put him down, washed my hands, and honestly I couldn’t find where I put the dirty nappy! After frantically looking around I realised I flung it in a basket.

I can’t think of other examples - I do sometimes feel I’m on the edge of burning out. Does it just sound like exhaustion?

Are you old enough for it to be peri menopause?

Yup - lack of sleep, perimenopause, being too busy (too much stuff in your brain), ADHD…the list goes on.

Yep, having young children, being very sleep deprived, running on empty, you can very easily zone out so much you cant remember what/where/when, I did it whilst driving once, freaked me out, was totally confused when I came to, it was sheer exhaustion
