My son went to his piano recital with his dad step mom and Grandpa this afternoon.....
Oh. Yeah. I just spent an hour freaking out that my son wasn't home yet. Totally convinced myself that their car crashed on the freeway. Picturing dead bodies. My youngest son! Nobody was answering their phones. I thought of hospitals they could be at. Would anyone call me? I have no prn at all even though my heart was racing my face was flushed my thoughts racing.... And then it dawned on me: they're at play practice. D'oh

You should write a schedule of events. Maybe keep a calendar/journal. You've shared before that you were freaked out about your kids not being home or answering, and it was because they had a half day of school. These aren't little things you're getting worried over, they're major omissions in cognition.
I deal with some of the same stuff while I'm on my meds, so I write down what I have to. Your anxiety is abated once you remember your kids' schedule; a perfect thing to put in a calendar and refer to if you get anxious. No PRN or benzo needed, and you'd be fine. By the way, I just re-read this and it could be taken the wrong way. Please don't take it to mean I'm calling you stupid or anything, because it's obvious you're an intelligent individual. I'm trying to focus on the memory blank that our meds cause. Like I said, it happens to me and I completely forget where my wife and/or kids are going to be on a given day. I'm so used to being in contact via text that if I don't get a quick response I tend to worry as well. I go to my calendar notes and figure out they may be in an area with no reception or with and talking to friends or at an event. It's a good reality check and memory booster.

My daughter is in band and Girl Scouts. I have a calendar on the kitchen wall. I also put her schedule in my iPhone.

Points taken. My brain is like a sieve even for things I just thought sometimes! I do think it's the meds but also that I try to carry to much info at once in my brain. Today I can blame forgetting play practice on lack of sleep last night. All that said this has given me something to think about.
