How to find myself


Question Posted Thursday September 16 2010, 7:23 pm

I often find myself (after It's already to late) Doing other things instead of what I was told to do. I don't have any cases of ADHD or anything like that, I haven't had a reports of mental sickness or abnormality. When some tells me something I often forget what they said and when they said it. It's like I never heard before. I believe that I am lost within myself and am soooo tired of being here in this confusing life. I'm down to the point to where I just don't care about anything anymore. Have I gone crazy, or am I an Idiot with a high IQ? Please help!!!

Hey there,
It sounds as if you may have short term memory loss..?. Forgetting what someone told you or not remembering where you put something can be signs of this. But, you may also just be tired. When someone is tired, their body just cannot focus on one thing for a long period of time. I know, because I have short term memory loss and at times I forget what people told me earlier in the day or where I left something. I know how crazy it is to say to yourself 'I am going to put this here so I remember it', only to forget where you put it :p Believe me, sleep does help with this. Also, eating healthy, having your protein, and doing things like sodoku/crosswords/puzzles will help you build your brain/mental strength.

To help yourself find you again, leave sticky notes around your house or in places that you go to remind yourself of things you need to do, what you plan to do next, or what someone told you to do. They are a great reminders. Another thing you can do is have a friend remind you beforehand of what you want to be reminded of. Tell him/her that you just need a reminder before the time you are going to do something and I am sure they will try to help. Friends are always a great way to find support and positivity.

Also, get out there with people and have fun again! Go have a pop/coffee/lemonade with someone you know, go check out a new movie, have a gathering in your house with yummy snacks, meet someone new, or do something you have always meant to do but never got around to doing. Listen to your favorite music, dance around the house, call your best friend for a walk, or just find someone to talk to. Smile, even when you don't feel like it. It will help you feel better.. as will giving hugs :)

No, you are not going crazy, this is more common then you probably realize. And no, you are not an idiot. Try the things I've told you and see if they help. If they don't help much, ask your doctor what may be causing this, for I am not as knowledged as them. You can find yourself again... just find support, do the things you love, and you will find the path that will lead you there <3
