Fuzzy, not so much in the good way
Apr. 12th, 2007 02:31 pmI keep forgetting things lately.
Appointments I've made, even regular ones that happen every week, until I'm almost up against them and maybe have scheduled something else over them or maybe slept through them. People's names, or people's kids names, or people's partner's names, or the context in which I know someone when I run into them in the park. Random facts that I really ought to know, who sang some song or other, some bit of math or food science or herbalism. It's making me feel lost and disconnected, and sort of stupid, and I think maybe it's making people think I don't care or I'm not paying attention, although actually I do, and I am, or I'm trying, anyway. I've never been particularly good at this stuff, but lately I'm feeling particularly bad at it. It certainly isn't making it any easier to make new connections with people, something I'm really trying to do right now. I don't think I'm too underslept, and I don't actually feel distracted or anything, and I don't know if the version of depression I'm working with right now would cause this, or if it's just the way I seem to be interacting with the world around me right now in a more general way.
In any case, call this a meme or just a favor or what have you, but if you're reading this, go ahead and comment and remind me of something? Anything at all would do, though if you think I've been losing track of something in particular that has to do with you, do mention that.
