Ex,: I just came back from the grocery store, spent 10.00 for tomorrow's cole slaw to take to a picnic. I was there an hour and a half AND I had a list! Sometimes I find the grocery store so overwhelming I start to cry or call someone for a pep talk. This is unacceptable to me. I have trouble with this elsewhere or with its "sister" procrastination. Sound familiar anyone and how do you deal? Thanks!  |
SAME!!! When I got on meds I turned into a total dumb dumb. I have the memory of an 85 year old woman now, and the attention span of a monkey. Grocery store gets me too. I have to make a list before I go. We have a white board, and everyone writes down the things they need. I copy it onto a piece of paper, and then I go buy the stuff. It keeps me organized, and where I don't have to think, and it stops me from impulse buying.
I was the same as you. My mind worked like lightening, I was witty, decisive, and felt a lot smarter. Now I feel dumb, and old, and confused. Oh the joy of meds. xoxoxoxoxo
