I've put a passport down in the wrong place

AddieThree

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

  • I am always putting things down and finding them in the most stupid places.  Usually they turn up a time after (sometimes a very long time) when I'm not looking for them.  It could be linked to having other things that distract my train of thought and the 'short term mermory' of what I've done with the object is deleted from my memory (and sometimes even the fact I have even had it at all).

    I also think sometimes my eyes don't recognise what I'm looking for, my brain just doesn't register it even if it is right in front of me.  Sometimes in a supermarket the items I am looking for are right in front of me and yet I don't see them. 

    Whether this is linked to ASD I don't know but it drives others mad.  It is certainly an affliction I've had since I was born!
