Serious mental sharpness to handle stuff

[BlueNightingale]

I woke up this morning with a serious life problem dropped off on me at the very last minute, without a lot of warning, and I am also having an ADHD/hormonal phase time right now, so my brain is not working.

I am taking stuff already.

This is one of those times where I should know what to do and work through it, but instead I cannot work through it, and it is kind of like a tornado is coming and I'm like "oh I should probably run and get out the way."

But instead I feel frozen and I am just watching it happen. I don't know what to do.

Edit: I'm gonna make pancakes and it isn't going to fix anything. It is just eating into my 95 hours.

Me too! I couldn't express it like you did but how you said it fits perfectly with what I am experiencing. I can't stay focused and I am having difficulty motivating myself to do necessary things like filing taxes...ugh.

Praying for you and myself...we definitely need it.

Hi @FluffyYellowDuck ; @Heart2Soul Sometimes lying down and resting seems the right thing to do, where possible. (My wife and I tend to do it - myself with increasing frequency....

Plus prayer and Bible reading, of course.

 

[Lambano]

Fluffy, praying both for your life problem and that you have the mental clarity to handle it.

@Heart2Soul, I said a prayer for you too.

thinking of you @FluffyYellowDuck. I also felt off all day at work like I’m sleepwalking through the day. I made a lot of mistakes because mentally, I’m exhausted. I’m hoping you will feel better soon and able to see clearly what direction you need to take from this sudden dropping on you.

Hi @VictoryinJesus Yes, sleep does often help a lot...

@FluffyYellowDuck Glad to see you up and running on the forums again, anyway.....

Boy can I relate!!!

I just always pray that God will provide for these things to be dealt with. I tend to find that there suddenly comes a "magic moment" where I'm at peace with whatever it is, and can take the necessary steps. But yeah, frozen, in horror, in indecision, in whatever it is. I feel like I must be one of the lesser functioning people out there!

Much love!

@marks In the end, mentally, inwardly, the word 'steadfast' as in 1 Corinthians 15.58 comes into play, right?

Linking in with the previous verses....

Thanks all, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I was given three days and get my cats new homes. ((Obviously feels impossible)) I have done not much today except prayer and worship, but I did text my brother. He has no idea either.

I feel like God let me know I am okay, but I haven't had any idea of what to do besides throw stuff away.

So deep happy concentration breathing and a calm down vitamin (magnesium)

@FluffyYellowDuck Well, do keep in an attitude of dependent prayer.....

Yes, true, and also a cool countdown timer like the one from that show "24" (that I don't really remember what it was about but I remember the clock and it's all I can think about)

It saddens me to hear that you guys are going through hard times and I pray for God to give you the strength and fortitude to overcome such adversity.

Hey Fluffy, sometimes the medications they prescribe are actually worse. It was for me. Big pharma has a massive investment in mental health and these conditions are diagnosed just by answering questions about how you feel at the time.

Maybe try no meds. It's just a thought anyway. They incorrectly diagnosed me with depression and put me on meds that sent me to another world, a worse world.

Keeping our minds and bodies active is a good idea. If you dont work you might want to look for things to keep you busy, things that you enjoy

Thank you for your prayers, I appreciate it.

I take zinc, magnesium, vitamin d, and ashwaghanda.

I never took the medication because one brother nearly died from it and has permanent brain damage, my other brother took it, and I think he had a seizure, but I know he suffered a concussion.

So I won't. :)

That sucketh.

I laughed out loud at both of these thank you I needed it

Fluffy , if something has just happened that threw you you could be experience shock and the brain fog is just a natural reaction to not being able to process it yet…………we cannot stop our bodies from reacting in natural ways to events or situations.
I get days when I am tired and I just have to listen to my body and take ‘ time out ‘ to rest , it’s the same when we fill mentally drained.
I hope everyone feeling this way can rest up, be still ……..and also know that the Lord is with you in whatever you are facing xx

Thanks @Rita I think you are right and just a praise update the situation has not changed but my head does feel more clear and after kids fall asleep, maybe I'll have time to figure stuff out.

Sometimes we need to just allow the initial reaction to settle. I do pray that the Lord will lead you to a solution xxx
Nice to see you posting again xxxxx
