What was I going to say.....??

[leejaysmum]

See, this happens every minute or so of my life lately!! Im 46 (or am I 45?) Anyway - I cannot remember something i thought of 30 seconds ago. i.e. I'll think of a shopping list, tell myself to write a note so as not to forget, by the time i get to a pen and paper, ive forgotten why Ive gone to the pen & paper.
An ever helpful friend suggested I carry a pen & paper around with me, but I just keep forgetting WHY Im carrying a pen & paper around with me! If I write myself a note, I forget that Ive written it, half the time it makes no sense cos I cant remember writing it. I have no short term memory whatsoever.
I came on AB to ask a question and Im blowed if i can remember what it was now - hence this post!
This happens every ....ummm......hold on...... What was I going to say..... what WAS it?? ......Oh, I know what I was going to say.....it happens..........nah, its gone again......!!
So... am I going - or have I already gone - totally doolally? Anyone help?? Anyone?

Are you nor exaggerating slightly for dramatic effect? Aren't most of the things you seem to be forgetting to do all quiye trivial? Have you not had a huge burden to carry lately, and your brain has had to turn cartwheels to steer you through it? It sounds like you are in overload, take some time to chill and collect your thoughts, don't try to remember to make a list, just remember to prioritise.
