General Anyone Else Feel Like This?

[hangingon]

I have been very scatter-brained, having difficulty with my short term memory, feeling like it's more difficult to make decisions and not getting much sleep. Sometimes I just feel like I'm fumbling through the day not really getting anything accomplished. Is anybody else feeling the same way or dealing with any of these things? Are there any ways to get back on track that you found works well?

Sorry hun, these things happen to me all the time, but I am really old, so it is expected !!! But yes, have those days. Sometimes if it's driving me nuts, I try to find something , just one thing to focus on... a book, my art (which really helps) , taking a walk, those kinds of things.. and then some days no matter what I am scattered. It happens.. it's normal for us.... sorry it is taking so much of your energy. sending gentle hugs for you today.

Not sleeping is I'm pretty sure a part of the reason. I've had issues sleeping forever but one thing my T told me about was something called "sleep hygiene."

• Don't watch violence or intense television before bedtime
• Develop a routine around bedtime that involves relaxing
• Don't work or play games on the computer near bedtime
• Do read books before bedtime, but avoid anything with violence, etc. because it works just like television

Now if I could just follow my own advice consistently...
