Anxiety has been messing with my mind! I notice that over the past few years, I have been extremely forgetful and have a hard time concentrating. I feel like I have many ADD-type symptoms. I am taking Prozac, which has helped my anxiety and mood quite a bit, but the forgetfulness is still tough. I don't know if it's possibly just from stress (work has been tough and busy, and I am getting married this month, so I've had a lot of wedding planning giong on) and not getting enough rest, or if it's mostly my anxiety and Prozac causing it. I can honestly say that sometimes I can't remeraber what I did the other day and my brain just can't focus on things at times. If people catch me at a bad time, I get really frustrated and almost have a panic attack if I can't focus on what they are talking to me about. My claustraphobic has been a bit worse too. I am extremely uncomfortable to have people I don't know anywhere near me. I joke about it and say I can't have people in my "personal bubble," but inside I really am panicking and hate it.
I try my best to keep a planner with me and write everything down, and keep many notes, so I don't forget things. As for my claustraphobia, I just try to avoid going to stores during busy hours and try my best to relax and ignore it. Is there anything else I can do that may help? I plan on staying on Prozac. I had this problem even BEFORE taking it, so to me it isn't worth it to give it up for a slight improvement. I celebrated my bachelorette party, and while I don't drink too often, when I do, I notice that my tolerance has dropped quite some time since taking Prozac. I have never not remerabered parts of the night until taking Prozac. I plan on definitely being careful with that and cutting back on drinking, but I hate to not be able to go celebrate for occasions such as this! I had a great time and all, but it's bad when I only drank water while out, and still can't remeraber anything after a certain time.
