Lately I can't remember anything. I can't remember if I made breakfast this morning. I'm pretty sure I made sausage and I started to make eggs but I can't remember if I made them. I can't remember if I ate. And I feel like if I made breakfast and didn't eat it I would have seen it somewhere but I don't remember seeing it. My stomach tells me that I didn't eat but I definitely remember making the sausage.
And yesterday in the kitchen, I put clothes in the dryer and knew I had to do something else but couldn't remember what it was. And then I stepped in cat puke and remembered I needed to give the cat her medicine.
These are just two examples but it's been happening a lot lately. Am I dying?

I also suffer from CRS - Can't Remember Shit. Three out of five mornings I can't remember if I gave my cat his medicine and I have to check and see if his ear is wet to figure it out.
This post makes me feel better about myself. I forget to eat or if I do eat, not remember that I ate and I have a second meal :-|.
I constantly forget what I want to tell people. I write down every little thing I need to do or I forget. Literally, I have lists to remember the simplest things. Sigh.
I do the same thing you do like all the time. I think a large part of it is that is hard to be on top of everything when you are a single mom juggling everything and by having a lot on your mind all at once.
In my case, my therapist says I need to be more "mindfullness" I need to stop worrying about the past and the future and just think about the present moment one second at at time.

Glad to know I am not alone... I think heavenly might have hit the nail on the head. I have a lot on my mind lately. Like big important things so these little details are kind of being pushed to the side. Think I will work on being more mindful and in the moment.
