I am losing my mind...

[Laura's Babies]

Ugggggh! I am there too so you are not in that boat by yourself. I write notes and make a lot of lists so I don't forget, then forget the notes and lists or where I put them... I find I am leaving doors open that use to annoy the day lights out of me when other people would leave them open. Can't tell you how many time I have lost things where I am sitting and never even gotten up... or did I? Welcome to MY WORLD!

Are you very preoccupied lately? Have you been sleeping poorly (another menopause symptom)?

I find that for most people, keeping track of ordinary things becomes difficult when preoccupied or under a lot of stress. (Lack of sleep is also a type of stress.) It's like their brains can't handle the ordinary because it's dealing with the complex! Perfectly ordinary!

Writing notes to one's self is the only answer. You can write them on the back of your hand with a magic marker. Assuming of course, you remember where you put it.
