[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 105851"] You've gotten some really good advice here. The only other thing that occurred to me was when you said that little things set you off. That can be a symptom of ADD or depression or hormones or a gazillion other things. But, it also could be the ants vs the elephants. It's not the elephants that get to us, it's the ants. I got this from a former co-worker. When the big things in life happen (the elephants), such as raising a difficult child, having to move, changing jobs we face them and deal with them. We have to; we have no choice. But they're very, very stressful and it takes it's toll. We meander along thinking we are managing quite nicely and then something small happens (the ants), such as a breaking a glass and we fall apart. The ant becomes the proverbial straw. We hold it together when we have to because we have to. But then that ant comes along and it just pushes us over the edge. It seems silly because it's such a little, insignificant thing. But, it's just one thing too much. Something to think about while you're talking to your doctors. And as far as being distracted...I feel your pain there. If I don't do what I'm thinking about while I'm thinking about it, it's gone. I didn't used to be that way. I'm still trying to adjust. The other day I was talking to my mom on the phone and asked her to hold on so I could blow my nose. I finished and said, "Are you there?" No response. So, I said, "Hellooooo?" It was at that point that I realized that the phone was not in my hand, but rather still lying on the counter where I had put it down to blow my nose. [img]:bag:[/img] [/QUOTE]
