Memory, what memory?

I should have guessed my memory was taking one of it's periodic nose dives, when I forgot my meds--should have alerted me to be extra careful.


marci,
the memory thing must be in the air..........along with forgetting meds AND locking the keys in your car! lol!! i still dont know if i took my wellbutrin this morning or not. so, i didn't want to od so i just figured id skip it if i didn't take it.
Marci and Traci,
What are we going to do with the two of you. LOL My best friend and I (this was the first thing we did together) went to Target for the after Christmas Sales. We not only locked the keys in the car we left it running. My dh will never let us live it down! You two take care of youselves.
Love,
Jamie
Love,
Unfortunately locking the keys in the car or leaving the lights on are two of my favorite bad habits,
Wow, what a story, Marci! :)
I also have my share of memory-related mishaps...I have an ID card that I have to use to get into my building and a few other places at school. It is a little too big for my wallet, so it kind of hangs loosely half-out...
And as you can imagine, this has meant I've lost the ID card...not once, but 3 times already! The first one was probably funniest...I was crossing a street walking with friends when I took out my wallet...the card got loose and fell out, and guess what, I was standing directly over a grate in the street (not sure what that's called), so it fell down into the depths of the sewer or something! My friends were amazed by my card-losing abilities! ;)
I've vowed not to lose my card again, if only to avoid embarrassing myself any more by having to go get a replacement...but I still have yet to find a safer place for it besides my wallet!
Thanks for making me smile,
Rose
P.S. The only reason I have no car-related stories is because my car does beep at me if I leave the lights on or the keys in the lock...it's saved me more times than I'd like to admit!

Rose,
Does your ID card have any kind of hole on it, or a place you can put one without affecting it?
Hi Marci, I just saw this post...thanks so much for the idea! There should be room on my card for a hole...I do wish they'd just go ahead and make mini-cards like you mentioned! That's so incredibly nice of you to offer your own card-holder...I will try a few possibilities I can think of first, but if you happen to find the one you have, that would be wonderful! (I know the ID card office people would appreciate it, as would my wallet...it costs $10 for each replacement!).
Thanks again,
Rose
I also have no memory lately. I am lucky that I wrote down everything I thought I'd need for my school disability appointment Friday, because as it turned out I was completely blank when I got there. That was an hour appointment. I can't imagine how I'm going to make it through a 15 mintute appointment with my dr. this week when I have to go through the same stuff basically. I'll have to make sure I make a list like I did for the other appointment, now while the pressure's off.
I lost my school id once and man did I freak out, it is also my bus pass and if I got it replaced it wouldn't have that sticker on it (I think). It also costs $30 for each replacement. Luckily I left it on the bus and someone actually turned it in.
I think my mood is about to make an abrupt change. So much for "normal" phase. I think that only lasted a week or so :( I don't want to start cycling again. My doc better do something about it when I go to see him this week, as he is all I have for 6 months before I can get into the mental health clinic. For the last few days I keep getting glimpses of both mania and depression so I don't know which way I'm going. Mostly I've felt like things were starting to speed up but then on the way to work for no reason and very suddenly I was hit with a depression like a wall of bricks. I almost sat in the middle of the sidewalk and cried. That only lasted a few minutes. Today I've again got the depression feeling. My anxiety is through the roof and I even got a glimpse of "the rage" on more than one occasion today. Which means if I go manic it's not going to be the euphoric kind.
Does anyone else get these glimpses of either mania or depression during a supposed normal phase, or does this mean I'm still/about to cycle?
I got a whole bunch of books from the school library on manic depression. I figure I should try to learn some more about it and maybe be able to understand myself more. I find that the info on the web is all the same and very basic. The school library is very academic so it's a bit different. Unfortunately I owe the public library a large amount of money in lost books, so I'm not going there until I can pay it. They won't let me take anything out until I get below $10, and that would be about $50 or $60 that I don't have.
I really don't know what I'm talking about. Totally off on a tangent. So I'll stop now.
