when would you go to a doctor?

I know I am a bit of hypochondriac so tell me I am just being silly.  I would say for the last 2 years I feel like I have been so clutzy. I am constantly tripping, slipping and dropping things.  I find I mostly drop things with my right hand (which is the arm I broke this summer falling off a chair).   For example today.  I was running after my 3yr old and totally wiped out, then later today I grabbed a cereal box out of the pantry and I swear I had a good grasp of it but I dropped it. I swear I drop things multiple times a day.  Hmmm, is it just me getting old?

    Could your mind just be on other things?  I have caught myself doing stupid stuff like putting the milk in a cabinet and a dish in the fridge because I'm mentally preoccupied.

    I have done this!

    Oh, and I have left my car running the entire day while at work. Yeah, and not just once. Confused

    I would because you screwed up your arm.

    The rest just sounds like exhaustion. ?

    ok MELANDJEFF... I have decided I am totally fine compared to you, but I think you should go see a doc ASAP.  HOW do you leave your car running all day!!

    I havent done this in a long while, and I am actually much better (dont do stairs much anymore) But really, I have no freaking idea how someone leaves their car running. I just forgot to shut it off.

    Since I started taking anti anxiety, my mind has chilled a bit. I totally think I used to have mental overload. I was always always thinking about 80 different things, and now, it is much better.

    I still do have my major klutzy days, but overall, it is improved.

    MelandJeff-funny you should mention anti-depressants I knew it was time to go back on them last year when I started forgetting really weird things. Like I would get lost going to the grocery store just a few blocks away or when I was late picking up my son because I thought 11:45 came before 11:30.... just really strange things like that.

    Yeah, sounds like a classic case of mind overload. However, none of us are Dr's so please go see one, just to be safe.

    can you be "what" ?  Or is that a philosophical question like "I think therefore I am"

    Ok, I tried to ask you a question, clicked post too soon...

     

    Anyway, Can I be blunt and ask if you have suspected your H of an affair?

     a couple summers ago I briefly suspected it but no I really don't think so.  I have always been able to track him down and his story always adds up in the end.

    Ok, just thought that if you did, that might explain some of your "spaciness". If I had suspected my H, it would consume me.

    So, your just a nut for no reason apparently. Bhwhahaha

    I am like this too but I really blame it on mommy brain. I've never been the same since I had my first kid. I get myself in all sorts of ridiculous mishaps daily. But I agree that it never hurts to see a doctor.
