I can’t work on maths problems: by the time I key a calculation into my calculator I’ve forgotten what I was actually calculating.
When I open my phone to write an email, by the time I have the ‘new email’ screen open I’ve forgotten what I wanted to write and to whom.
When I go off looking for something in another room, I forget what I was looking for by the time I’ve entered it. I constantly mutter ‘What was I doing? What was I doing?’
This is so debilitating – I can’t live like this. What can I do?
Ahh thanks for this. Yes, seeing as the main thing stopping me from getting sleep is that my brain sees it as a ‘boring’ activity, I can see stims helping this as a knock-on effect.
Also important to get yourself physically tired at least every day, especially with prescription stimulants. If you don’t, you will have trouble sleeping and back to square one 😕
