Does anyone have those days where you feel like your retarded

[BlueStorm]

or your IQ points dropped about 50 points. Or that you just can't seem to communicate right and you lose your concentration easily.

I've been talking to a friend on the phone and most of the stuff that came out of my mouth made me sound like a dumb dumb or someone who is stoned or some shit, and I'm not even high!

1. I have days when I feel like my head is in a fog.

As to the "retarded" comment...

:popcorn:

;)

3. Yes

I forgot the code to my phone about two weeks ago. I have tried and tried to figure it out since, but no dice. I am sure I have messages piling up. I can't change it because I get a special deal through my Mom's work and to change it she would have to know the code and she doesn't know it and never did. Then today I forgot how to add stuff to my favorites page. I mean, I couldn't find the 'add to favorites' button. I was freaking out, because I'm only 38 and it feels like I'm getting alzheimers. :shrug:

4. I have been in a fog all frickin' day and I hate it

because then I really got to think of what I want to say.

I've been painting all weekend so maybe I'm wore out from that :shrug:

7. Maybe It's the Fumes... n-t

5. Oh yeah.

Sounds like something that would be helped by a good night's sleep. Works wonders for me.

[BlueStorm]

6. Hell, a good night's sleep is never guaranteed with me...

I'm waking up at least 5 times a night and then the next day I'm in a fog.

But hey I had great energy to make a couple of paintings!!!

I never knew you could get exhausted from that, I thought art was suppose to be relaxing.

[Wapsie B]

8. It sounds like you poured everything you had into the paintings.

That would be a great talent to have.

[BlueStorm]

9. Yeah, I made this nighttime seascape with the moon

and some abstract tribal thing. I will have to take a picture of them and load it up sometime tomorrow or so. I have to paint the border on the seascape picture as it looks weird.

10. Don't you have Fibro, BlueStorm?

that'll do it. x(

[BlueStorm]

11. Yep... I do have fibro...

There are days when I have energy but as soon as I exert myself I get worn out real fast, and I mean fast. I can drive around for two hours and then I would feel like I have been drained of all of my energy.

12. Fibro fog...

aka brain fog.

I have a friend with it, and we joke that between the two of us, we share one working brain. :silly:

[BlueStorm]

13. Well I'm having it bad right now,

but then again I should be hitting the bed soon as I have counseling tomorrow. I hope that I am more coherent by then, lol.

14. hope things get better for you! (nt)

[Catfight]

15. The word "ret...ed" is offensive to many people, I pledged to stop using it

even in jest because of the good people here at DU that opened my eyes to it's offense. I like using asinine now. Words do hurt.

[HEyHEY]

19. Uh, so you're saying mentally handicapped people are asinine?

[Lost-in-FL]

16. If my IQ drops 50 points

I'll be in big trouble.

[Guava Jelly]

17. So far everyday that has ended in Y

:mad:..
What I lack in brains I make up for in ...Pizza!!! :silly: :crazy: :dunce:

18. Absolutely--just recently, I passed my exit--

on my way to work, which is not even a new job, which is a route I have taken every day for four years. I didn't sleep the night before (I get evil insomnia, it goes with my neck pain and complements my migraines and cheers on my drinking habit) and I sincerely felt quite normal when I got behind the wheel. Just another sleepless night--no biggie. And I missed an exit. I found myself looking around thinking I was on the other highway and just not recognizing the buildings (gee, they build'em fast these days). When I realized what I had done, I was so awake that I realized turning back that I had best aim for home, not work--

no good being a danger to myself and others.
