hard time concentrating... caligirl: anyone else have a hard time concentrating and focusing on things? its weird, a few weeks ago, i was fine, b ut i noticwed ;ately, i've had a real hard time committing to things, and focusing on things.
i feel like i'm going backwards here, and not sure how to turn it around....just want to curl up in a ball and sleep... :P
Re:hard time concentrating... Redhead33: I completely understand. I began 4 weeks of training for a new job 2 weeks ago and am having a really difficult time with it right now. It is tons of info and I am just not getting it. I generally catch onto things quickly but I am really struggling with all of the concepts. THere are times when I think that my job may be in jeopardy becasue of my inability to focus. It seems like the harder I try the worse off I am. I guess right now no matter what I do it's wrong!
Re:hard time concentrating... jjbswest: same here. boss called me at home today to ask about something two weeks ago and I said I don't know. I am so scatterbrained right now with everything that is happening with me that I can't think straight.
Re:hard time concentrating... jen: I am definitely more "scatterbrained" and have more trouble focusing than I used to. I was talking to a coworker, who happens to be a therapist, and she was telling me that it is completely normal to disassociate a little bit during the grieving process...it keeps us from getting too overwhelmed. In the meanwhile, it is still tough to be forgetful and more easily stressed out.
I had the hardest time last week making a decision about getting a car, which I had to do. I must have sounded like a nut to everybody I called and badgered with the pros/cons. :P
And at work I have to really stay on top of things to keep it from interfering too much...luckily work keeps me really busy and it hasn't suffered too much.
Re:hard time concentrating... caligirl: hey gang-
any suggestions on how best to deal with this?
its pretty bad, the anxiety is coming back, waking up every 3 hours...i know its probably because i can't sleep well, and this is just the snowball effect of it....
sheesh, i just wish there was ann end to this...
