Maybe I'm having a negative automatic thought or being too hard on myself, but I always do the 'wrong' thing. I sent a text to a friend asking if he needs a ride to grocery store, completely forgetting that today is thursday, and I do not need grocery since I am going home from college this weekend. I had a rush to please in my head, and felt like I dont want to miss out on a chance to make friends, cuz I already did too many times. This leads to me asking him if he needs grocery whenI dont even need to go. The worst thing is, my bad maybe short term memory( due to Cogentin) remembered just after I sent the text that today is Thursday, just have one more meal left here. I just felt like I need to be nicer to him, and the more time I let it pass before texting him offering help, the more likely 1) he'll not want to be my friend, 2) he thinks Im not warm enough to a fellow countryman( not from here).
Just wondering if Im making a big deal out of this? And what are some coping skills here that can stop me from feeling like Im not functioning right?

I think that is a grand idea. Less is more.
