Simple tiredness can cause lots of silly things.
Young couple took their dog to the takeaway - when they got home with the food they realised the dog was still tied up outside the takeaway.
Same girl, after having a baby, left a cafe and didn't realise she'd forgotten her baby inside. Drove back to the cafe in a panic!
Put card in cash machine - 'enter pin' ...brain blank - eek !
Secure password not written down anywhere - again brain blank - hours later it surfaces in the consciousness - pfew!

It's not age or a stroke it's just being human and not getting enough sleep sometimes.

juliaC - thank you for asking. My GP didn't seem too concerned and to be honest I now think it is all linked in to how anxious I have been feeling for months - I think the mixing up of words was the final straw and made me even more anxious and then it happened even more (or I picked up on it even more) and I was in a vicious circle; he has arranged for some blood tests to see if there is anything to be picked up from them but I think this is probably more for my peace of mind than anything.

Emma - I think that is so true actually - I now realise how anxious I was when I first mixed my words up and think it has all snowballed. As you say - it could simply just be me being human. I've watched my husband do/say similar things over the past few weeks - I guess it happens to us all but I really did let my anxiety take over. Thank you for replying.

My husband begins to tell me something B4 pausing for ages .......... sometimes he doesn't even finish the sentence then will swear hours later "I told U that earlier"  >:(. Even if I prompt him .............  ???

Ive had high levels of anxiety in recent days and haven't been able to string 3 words together  :-\

CLKD - I'm sorry to hear that you've had such high levels of anxiety the past few days. I know it affects us all differently but I do understand how awful it is and hope that you soon feel better again.

 :thankyou:  Last week I had 2 days when I couldn't read e-mails nor form replies; brain wanted and did sleep almost 24 hours; I had to drop 5mg of my ADs in order to get my brain to wake up! 

Anxiety is the pits!
