Yesterday in t. we picked up on where we left off the following week. Lately I tend to draw a blank and have to be reminded for some reason what was covered. It is like, "oh yeah yeah, that is right we did talk about that." Glad someone remembered.
So where does my mind go in a weeks time? Some times I wonder. Poof!
It is not that I am not putting into action the "tools" I am learning in t. during the week. It is just when I have a lot going on emotionally, my brain circuits fire up and scream "overload." Verbally I am not much of a talker. But, when I get this way it is like, ah, duh, ummm..... woooo ....
When I am like this my depression worsens and I tend to forget more. Depression can do that.
yes it does, but it does happen to many of us as well just with the pace of the world in which we line which might just be part of the problem...
ReplyDeleteGUILTY HERE AS WELL. BUT YOUR RIGHT. WHEN YOUR UNDER MORE STRESS THAN NORMAL AND OVERWHELMED WITH DEPRESSION YOU CAN FORGET MUCH MORE. GOOD INSIGHT.
ReplyDeleteJBR sorry you're having difficulty remembering. Don't fret as Brian said it does happen to many of us because of the fast pace of the worlds demands. And to have a journey going on at the same time, you're doing quite well in my opinion. God's in control. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI have those moments more then I should. I also let to many things build up and then I really forget. Your not alone here, I am sure there is more people then even I know.
ReplyDeleteStress can make you forget as well. You have been under a lot of stress lately.

Oh my goodness! I'm the EXACT same way! I think that therapy is always so emotionally charged for me that it interferes with my memory. In fact, if I've had an important session that I want to write about on my blog I write down what we talked about because sometimes I can't even remember that night! I carry a little notepad with me-- maybe you could do the same if you wanted to?
ReplyDeleteWishing you well,

JBR,
ReplyDeleteSending you a big hug. It's really hard on the body to be under stress almost constantly, my friend. Please take care. My prayers are with you.
That's me too.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know depression could do that. Sorry for your pain.
ReplyDeleteTake time to breathe, beyond the everyday in and out.
ReplyDeletePeace..
have a wonder filled weekend
We find answers in the silence, praying for you dear.

soooo hard, i totally understand. i've been struggling quite a bit lately, trying to fight off the dark clouds that threaten to consume me. but when i forget things that i really should remember it's maddening. i find myself easily defensive because it really irks me that i can't be depended on anymore for the info i used to be able to retain so easily. ughhh. definitely a downer. i think we have to allow ourselves those rough, sappy, frustrated, mad days where we pour out our frustrations at the foot of the cross so that he can help pick us back up. so that we can have the non-depressing, uplifted, excited, spreading the joy of the Lord wherever we go whenever we can days. :) hang in there, i've ridden this roller coaster of emotions, and it does come back 'round again. {hugs}
ReplyDeleteOh, I so understand. I am finding lately that stress for me is reeking havoc on my memory. CIRCUIT OVERLOAD, indeed!
ReplyDeletePraying for you, my friend! I hope you can take some time for yourself to just relax, unwind, and DECOMPRESS!
Blessings~
