I'm posting this in hopes of some possible insight, or maybe at least some commiseration .
I don't know what is wrong with me lately. I think for about the past two weeks I have been this way and it only seems to be increasing. I'm having more and more trouble concentrating, getting things done, and making decisions. I'm having trouble word-finding, sometimes suddenly can't remember how to spell a simple word or mathematical problem. I was so embarrassed and distressed last week when for some reason I could NOT remember what 9 x 7 was, and ended up having to pull out my calculator to be sure. I am having a terrible time making decisions, and when I do I keep going back and second-guessing, questioning, and wondering if it was the right one, even simple decisions that don't really have much impact.
I am generally a pretty focused and goal-oriented person, but the past two weeks I just cannot seem to "get it together." I'm spending a couple hours longer than usual with work every day lately because I keep getting distracted or don't get started until later in the morning than usual. Every night when I go to bed I think to myself, tomorrow I will really pull it together and be more focused, but it's just not happening. I also feel more worn out lately. I know something is going on when I find myself unable to even really concentrate on my book when I read at night, because I have always been a very avid reader and get fully immersed in books.
I do not feel particularly down or anxious, but I do have a feeling of just general burnout. The only thing I can think of is spring/cabin fever and restlessness from that. I really get discouraged when at the end of the day I realize I didn't accomplish half the things I wanted to. I just want to get out of this rut and I'm not sure how.
