Is Anyone Else Losing Their Mind?
I think I am losing my mind. Tonight while driving home, I turned my right blinker on at a stop sign (which I called a stop light) that only has a left turn and I was going straight. I asked my daughter to turn off the TV which really was the computer. I called a burgular, a policeman and stood in the kitchen for 5 minutes wondering why I was there.
Am I alone in this? Are there other people out there who struggle with these same issues? I pause for at least 10 seconds trying to remember words and am so grateful for my children who fill in the missing blanks. My husband continually waits patiently for me to determine what I'm trying to say. At random times I accidentally say what I am thinking outloud. The only problem is I only say two or three words of the whole thought so that it makes absolutely no sense. For example, I am sitting her typing while my hubby lays next to me in bed watching TV and all of a sudden I say, "I'm not sleeping." And he says, "What?" like...duh, you aren't sleeping, you are typing on your laptop. He's thinking "Where in the world did that come from?" but because he's used to it, he just smiles, realizing I'm talking about who knows what, and says, "Okay."
What's a woman to do? So I google, "What to do when you are loosing your mind," and find an article called "Am I Loosing My Mind, What to do about fuzzy thinking." I was a little relieved to know this is simply a case of fuzzy thinking, nothing too serious and is probably just a temporary state of mental deterioration. I figure if everyone else who lives and deals with me on a regular basis can survive, then possibly this slight case of fuzzy thinking might pass. Until then, if you see me, don't bet on anything I say, be patient in case it takes awhile, and if you know what I'm trying to say, please just appease me and act like I said it correctly.
And until the mind returns to proper functioning order and the thinking clears up, hears to lots of laughter, because it's like living with the one who flew over the coo-coos nest around here!
I guess this gives a whole new meaning to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind!" I"m hoping He is satisfied with all I have functioning at the present moment.
