I am having trouble in the last couple of months and I don't know what the problem is. I am having trouble remembering stuff for my essay questions for my tests, it is like I go blank, I locked the keys in my car, I left my purse in the lounge today at school before my test, and I got into a car accident because I was distracted. I am not surprised about my car accident because I find myself distacted before while I was driving. One time I ran a red light, and other times I get very close to not stopping in time, or sometimes I go out of turn at a stopsign. I almost forgot about my trumpet lesson last week, and I got to the grocery and forget what I need This isn't like me really, so I am wondering what the heck could be wrong.Even my DH notices that I am "different" Any ideas?

I agree with the stress and anxiety but I wanted to add something. I dont know if you take any medication but I had a similar experience when I added wellbutrin. I got very forgetful and sorta clumsy. Very unusal of me. People around noticed it as well. Your post reminded me of this. I'd look at the stress part too though. Could you be overloaded or overwhelmed right now? Of course how do you get rid of day to day sressors?? I'm a full time scientist, going to grad school, planning a wedding, and just bought a house (and intensely attached to my T - you know how stressing that can be at times). If I decide to book an Escape Reality Cruise, I will get you a ticket too.

Thanks bent!
I am not on any meds, so I know I can rule that out. I talked to my chiropractor/physical therpist/accupunturist, and she said that my mind is probabaly on overload due to all the studying I have been doing, and that it sometimes takes some time for our mind to adjust to the increased activity, kinda like pysical fitness.
I am feeling better, she did some special stuff today for anxiety and it helped. I am going to take it easy this weekend. Thanks for your support.

Thanks Susan,
You are probably right, I fall into both of those catagories lately. Thanks for your support! ;-)
