goldfish must get frustrated

I was always misplacing my house keys, now i do not worry if i can't find them as i know i have one in my key safe outside! it is there mainly so my carers can let themselves in on a morning to get me up, but has been very useful in making going out easier as like you dark dreams i too used to stress out so much that i would make myself ill searching for them.
I wish i could get 3 or 4 phones which all linked up to one number.....that way i would not miss any txtds or calls when pinky phone goes wandering!!!! maybe i can.....i should go to the phone shop and find out!! hmmm....that's a good idea!!!!

Hi everyone!! I'm new here but WOW.. It's so nice I'm not alone with the memory thing! I can remember birthdates of ppl I havent seen since High School but I can't remember if I... wow what was I gonna say here?

lol you certainly are not alone here tattoogirl, i for one can't remember loosing my memory, but it certainly has gone!!!!

Ugh, I am always loosing things. I have a huge house, but no furniture.....haven't completely moved in & really only live in 3 rooms of my house (bedroom, bathroom, & kitchen), so you wouldn't think it would be difficult to find things. I am forever loosing my cell phone, my keys, & even the book that I keep for organizing my schedule & my finances. How I can loose things when there is nothing to loose them in is beyond my understanding......I am not even ADD or ADHD......but I do get distracted mostly by my dogs.

I actually go into a panic attack when I loose things though & loosing things became a huge trigger in my life after the home care person was abusing my mother & me & things would always come up missing after I just had them, or knew where they had been. All my Mothers valuable jewelry was the first missing thing, then the check book I was going through after finding checks written by someone I didn't know & after calling the bank to put a stop payment on them.....poof, it was missing......then miraculously showed up with the home care person started to look for it. Same thing with my Mothers wedding ring that vanished off her hand......plink....there it dropped behind the sofa when the home care person started looking for it. She did the same thing with all the notes I had been writing about everything that had been happening when I left them laying on the floor next to my mothers bed.....never did find my note pad on those things.

My horse trainers husband pulled something similar right after I had gong through that with the home care person. I had just fed my mare her grain & had put the spoon in the feeding bucket & hooked it over the fence when I was called to do something else with the horses. Came back & everything was missing....found the spoon in the trash & the bucket hid behind a tack box in one of the tack rooms.

Needless to say when things come up missing, it's a huge trigger for me....& I really flip out over it even though I know there is no way that something could actually be gone. I have had so many things stolen also that sometimes my thoughts go immediately to who has been around my things that they could have disappeared.....but when it's only me, or my dogs.....know things are just misplaced by ME....but it doesn't stop the panic feeling that hits when that happens.

It has gotten better when I know that I am the only one in the house & know that my dogs would not eat my cell phone or keys. Being able to limit my search to only a few places also helps.......

Ugh.....I NEED MY OMEGA 3 again!!!!!!! It is nice knowing that I am not alone in misplacing things & spending hours looking for the missing things that couldn't possibly be lost.

Think the funniest one was loosing one of those dryer balls from out of my cloths dryer......always had 2 in there & couldn't remember when the one came up missing. Just before Christmas, I went to put on a Christmas color plat turtle neck shirt & there in the sleeve was the dryer ball....lol. That dang shirt ate it last year. I knew with patience it would show up again, just had no idea when or where.

eskilover you are definitely not alone, i find my bedroom is the biggest culprit for 'hiding' things i am looking for, especially around the bed!!!

At least the things do get lost! My stepmother, when she got senile, literally would lose her purse in her lap!

lol, think i must be senile prematurely!!!!

My favorite aunt suffered from multiinfarct dementia and when i last saw her we would play Oklahoma rummy. Everytime we dealt the cards she would forget the rules and we would have to explain them again to her. She'd beat us everytime and my uncle would get so annoyed. I figgured it was fair. She just had beginners luck, every game, every night for her whole visit!

lol lonegael xxx

i bought some Brahmi for my memory - but i cant remember where i put it - lol

lol phoenix....errrr what number were you again ??? oh yes phoenix7!!!! xxx

I'm with all ya! Done the "looking for my glasses - ON my face". I was in tears one day, late for work cuz I couldnt find my phone, called my husband to tell him I lost my phone and he "kindly reminded me I was using my phone to call him!". Total Mind melt. I just love this thread after last night! I work where there is a 6 floor parking ramp and I was almost in tears because I couldnt remember where I parked, I swear I was loosing my mind. I had walked two floors already trying to find my car. Then I realized I kept running into my co-worker on the elevator and she shared with me she couldnt remember where she parked either. It was a good laugh for both of us. Now this thread! I love it!

The strangest lost item story I have is one morning when I was little we were all looking for my mom's keys and of coarse they were in the fridge..duh! hehe
