To think I'm actually losing it and going mad

[Itsrainingshessnoring]

I just can not seem to find anything. I've lost my phone, its big and in a big bright pink case, can't find it, defo in the home snd I've turned the place upside down, still can't find it.

Lost my sun glasses, always in the car, searched whole of car, can't find them.

This is always happening, put keys down and then can't find them, paper work, can never find what I'm looking for.

I actually sat and cried today because it is so frustrating, I even accused DH of hiding things to make me feel like I'm going mad. I blame it on having a toddler and trying to do so many things at once, but if I'm honest, I was like this before children.

Even at work I forget literally everything, I have to write everything down, then lose the paper. Even a colleague has mentioned how bad my memory is.

When I'm doing something, it has to be done from start to finish, no breaks because if I have a break I get distracted and will never get back on track.

I'm really starting to think something is wrong with me.

Am I just going mad??

It sounds like you're overwhelmed. I get the same way when I'm sleep-deprived from work.

Before worrying about whether there's anything wrong with you, try this. Put everything in the same place all the time, no exceptions. My keys go on the front door handle as soon as I get in the door. My phone goes on the charger, which never moves. I don't rely on pieces of paper. I use my electronic calendar to send me a daily list of reminders and if I need to check the list, I just look at my calendar on my phone or laptop.

The change you need to make here is to make time to deal with the calendar at least twice a day. You can't be organized if you don't take time to get organized.

I bought a diary to try to be more organised. I then forgot to write in it 🙈

Might have a little ghost pinching stuff

Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind.

When I need to increase thyroxine I forget everything and gain weight. Maybe ask your doctor for check up and ask them to check your thyroid and other vitamins.
