I've put a passport down in the wrong place

I've gone through the room it was last seen (it was supposed to go back to the place I keep it in) - it's a pain - I'll need to get another passport.  I'm kicking myself - executive function is abysmal - the anxiety and executive function seem to be mirrored.  A normal functioning person would be practical and say to themselves this is a minor setback;  I'm gutted literally - my stomach feels painful, taking more medicine.  

over the last few days i've got increasingly unhinged - going through everything and not finding it.  

feels exhausting - the anxiety gnawing into my brain.  I wake in the middle of the night:  it's been a memory from the past

  • Hi Addie,

    I have very similar problems, have particular place for things, but sometimes seem to not put the things where they should be for whatever reason. Then when you can't find things, get so stressed for not being able to find it.

    Is there anything you can do to give you a break from searching now, and then try again later. I find that usually helps with me, only when I am absolutely exhausted, then my mind gets a bit clearer, and think of new places it could be that I totally overlooked before.

    Most things I do find, only a few things that have been lost. My original birth certificate I have never seen since I needed to get it photocopied for some application. I do have a photocopy, so may have sent the original one by accident.
