Sorry if this is muddled or confusing. I have so many new things going on, with starting the CCS program soon and telling my pdoc in a week and a half that I want to see someone different, and a new therapist next month, my thoughts feel weird. So many things I want to think about and I can't focus on just one at a time. I start thinking of one thing and then somehow I'm off thinking about something else and it keeps happening and I feel a kind of mental block. Like if you start trying to clean house and dump all the drawers out in the middle of the floor and then just stare at it because it's too overwhelming, you know? I just feel overwhelmed. I feel bad that I haven't been able to answer many posts here the last couple days because I like to help you all if I can because you've all been so nice to me and I sit and try to read the posts and can't think in a straight line to answer. It's not my concentration, it's more like I can't process what I'm thinking or reading. I don't know what's going on. Confused.

I totally get it. No worries on answering posts.

I get so blocked by my own thoughts sometimes that I don't know what I am even thinking about from one moment to the next. I actually find writing/typing an easier way to filter.
Thanks for this!

I often go through long stretches where I can't bring myself to post.

Also have stretches where I struggle to clean as it seems so much effort to do little things. In that case I don't, only do when I get very sneezy from all the dust build up. Than it pretty much forces me to clean.

Hope you get better
Thanks for this!
