Lainexx Hi Do you know why this is? I am thinking with me its because I have my mind on a half dozen things and can't slow myself down. A diary is a good idea I may try that. My husband gets mad at me because I tend to forget things in a matter of a few minutes at times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zaman Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I think that it can be a number of things (like the combination of doing too much and having kids). But I find that it can also be stress related, and becomes more pronounced when I am tired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I find that it can also be stress related, and becomes more pronounced when I am tired. Yes I agree I am much more forgetful when I am stressed. I am alway worn out I take care of around 45 animals for a rescue operation almost entirely on my own. I worry a lot if I forget something so it takes me twice as long because I double check everything. Besides a lifestyle change is there any way to cut back on being worried all of the time? I have tried baches rescue remedy. It helps if I take enough of it but its also costly to buy all of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I've become really forgetful lately....and live via lists. Today I had to ring GP surgery but couldn't remember the name of my GP and tonight I made Chilli Con Carnie......we all sat down to eat and DS says "Mum, how come you havn't put any kidney beans in"......

aloneinthedark Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Yup bagpuss. It sounds JUST like me. It makes me feel not very smart at times. I will try the list for a while and see if it helps. Watch me forget the list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suze Report post Posted November 1, 2006 I live in a perpetual state of panic, I feel in a tizz and a whirl on the inside, but on the outside I appear calm.I forget stuff all the time, this just strengthens my belief that I,m stupid.I also think I know stuff and get it wrong all the time , ie dates...........I tell people such and such is happening on a date , and I,m convinced I,m right.Only to discover the date is the 11 th not the 21st.But then I,ll get confused and not remember which is wrong etc etc........... .I attended a parents evening a week early, last week, I lose stuff all the time , runn around forgetting why................................it goes on and on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
