24-hour gnats have it good by comparison...

Feb 07, 2007 11:52

This may be related to the whole Mystery Tired™ thing, but since Christmas I've had the attention span of a 24-hour gnat if I'm lucky. I can't focus on anything for more than thirty minutes, and that's if I'm lucky. My days are passing in a blur, and I honestly can't tell one from the other unless there's a specific event which allows me to ( Read more... )

Oh, I'm the same way. Normally, though, there are other warning signs, like not wanting to go to bed, avoiding people, actually feeling sad and worthless and pathetic and all those good things.

Lately, though, it's just like my brain has had an extra few filters put in which make it hard for me to remember what it was I was meant to be doing.

I think it has to do with the fact that I'm tired all the time, and I intend to get that checked out. If it's something like a sleep disorder, then it can be fixed. I hope.

Dude. I know that I have a hammer so everything is looking like a nail, but this was Rich with his untreated apnea. Sleep disorders can really do a number on memory, attention span and cognition.

(speaking of attention spans, we have to figure out a time to work on some posts - I still need to squeeze an Adri post or two out of you. ;) )

*sigh*

Forgot to add: my meds haven't changed in three and a half years, so I don't think it's that. But it was a good thought.

Welcome to my world.

Seriously, it could be nothing; but have you spoken to a doc or a naturopath?

Not yet. I keep forgetting to do that. >_<

I should write that down. Also, right now I have neither a GP nor a naturopath, so I should probably look into that too.

Y'know, this year it seems particularly bad with me. I'm not usually this terrible about simple tasks like taking something from one room to the next.

Bah.

Je me retrouve beaucoup dans ce que tu dis, je suis drainée de mon énergie, je suis épuisée et je tourne en rond, ne sachant plus quoi faire. Ma liste de chose à faire est dans le moindre détail, j'en oublierai de me laver sinon !

très frustrant en effet et en même temps, on n'est pas parfait...
