Am I losing the plot?

Long story short, couldn’t find keys, checked communal buckets, retraced steps, asked everywhere only to find keys in my “secret” jacket pocket that I have no recollection of putting there. Is this my dodgy thyroid, effects of stopping HRT 6 weeks ago, stress from husband moving abroad for work and 3 offspring pursuing life elsewhere, C-PTSD, or stress from working with challenging teenagers and actively seeking ways to join my husband to focus on self. Am I being unreasonable to think my cup run over with old coping life mechanisms failing or do I need to get a grip? My brain has stalled.

You briefly lost your keys
and then found them

hardly unusual

If this type of thing is happening with increasing frequency, it’s probably brain fog & hormonal. Rethink stopping your HRT unless medically necessary 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think probably one of those "auto pilot" moments where you just do something without much thinking. Normal. You have stuff going on. Don't beat yourself up. 💐
