Driving yourself crazy Is it a short trip?→[More:]What do you do that drives you a little (or a lot) crazy? For example, I will write a detailed list for running errands and shopping, but leave it behind. Yes, I am now preparing to go back out and pick up everything I missed on this morning's run. At least the weather is beautiful. *sigh*

Next!

I can walk from here.

I forget to bring the dryer sheets down when I tromp down to the building's basement to switch my laundry.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I am so forgetful. It drives me, (and mr. gaspode) nuts. Last example was: we got tickets for a Mets game the other week. Night before, mr. gaspode says: "have you printed them out yet?" I say "I'll do it at work tomorrow". He is all like, well, don't forget. I promise him I won't forget.

Next day I print them out, all proud of myself. Then I leave them on my desk and don't realise till I'm half way to grand central station (I work in the Bronx... that's a long way back). The worst bit is being so predictable in my forgetfulness.

I've been trying to drive myself sane for a while now, but I was arrested for driving without a license.

I walk into a room and can't remember why I walked in there. Happens all the time.

Oh and names. I just can't do names.

I obsess over how my ex-boyfriend feels about me. And I hate it.

I've particularly surly recently. It's not making me any new friends, and I'm biting the heads off the ones I've got. It feels really good but wrong at the same time = craziness. And no friends.

I separate the coloured clothes from the white clothes, I put the coloured load on for example, and then realise I have forgotton one item of clothing and usually it's just one sock from the pair.

I constantly leave things and have to go back for them. (keys, phone, etc.)

I also have a tendency to cry when I'm really angry/frustrated, and it's annoying.

I worry about everything, especially things I can't control. And if I can theoretically control it, I don't think I have the skills to do so. This constantly drives me crazy.

All of the above. Must be a girly thing - I overanalyze every situation. I get paranoid when I'm in a room full of people I don't know. I get pissed at my boyfriend for no reason and yell at him for pointless things. I sweat the small stuff. I'm completely indecisive.

I see a plant - be it a small perennial, a shrub or a large tree, and I buy it. Not knowing where I can plant it, already having more than I can possibly take care of, but I buy it anyway. I try to keep myself away from Lowes and nurseries as much as possible.

I'm so forgetful I can't remember what I was going to say in this thread about... what's this thread about again?

I am perfect and have no issues. Thanks ever so for asking, though!

posted by puddinghead 31 August | 20:46

Yes, thanks. Straight on, second left, first right, past the post office, and there I am.

My head knows things that my heart cannot comprehend, and vice versa.
