I'm in a bad bout of this now. I'm having an awful time with concentration and memory, convinced often that I'm developing dementia. I start posting a message, then quit, because putting my thoughts together coherently feels like a huge chore lately. Maybe I'm just judging too severely what I'm writing in a post. I get self-critical because I don't know the standard things about forums and chats. Sometimes, I'm frozen in fear with social anxiety, and can't reach out and make contact, though I really want to. And I interpret it all in the bleakest ways. I forget how to soothe myself. It's like wandering into a box or paper bag and not knowing how to get out. This is just a bad night. Couldn't get into a chatroom each time I tried. Sorry for being rambling and negative.
