I'm glad you recovered your phone. Try not to be too hard on yourself. I know how you are feeling, to a degree. I had a period when between my bipolar disorder and my medications I had similar struggles. Things improved as my brain "healed a bit", as I like to say, and my medication cocktail became a bit smaller.
One time I left my pocketbook in a grocery cart and went home without it. I had finished my shopping, unloaded the groceries into my car, then returned the cart to the cart corral leaving my pocketbook in it. I had my keys in my hand, so I drove home without thinking about the pocketbook. My brother soon called me to my home landline to tell me a man called about my pocketbook, and that he'd left it at the grocery store customer service. I guess he saw my dad's number in my cell phone contact list (that was there, too) and called there assuming my dad was a good choice. My brother lives with him. That was maybe four or five years ago. I called to thank the man. I was embarrassed.
I'm much improved cognitively, since four years ago, but my Tegretol XR makes me super clumsy. I break something at least once per week, sometimes much more often. I've injured myself because of my clumsiness. I used to scream and cry. Now I either laugh, or if it's not at all possible to laugh, I just quietly clean up the mess or dust myself off. C'est la vie!
