Now that I’m doing a trial of meds, we went shopping today (office supplies) and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I actually bought some stuff without walking all over the store and then putting it back, or without doing the inner dialogue “which one should I get?” that loops over and over. It felt like a big accomplishment! I had a list of what I needed, and I worked the list.
I also made an excel file of my IMPORTANT TO DO LIST so that I don’t have to waste time writing it down on little scraps of paper each day. Helps with that feeling I get of a moth buzzing against a bright light.
The other big thing that has improved with the trial of meds is that I can walk downstairs to get something and actually remember what it was I wanted to get. Not as much exercise going up and down stairs but a heckuva lot less frustrating!
