Woke up with a migraine, this was due to getting so worked up about icing two Christmas cakes yesterday. This meant that I have not done the jobs I wanted to do, so I am spending this evening trying not to get worked up about that. Instead I am saying over amend over to myself that of the 6 tasks I wrote down last night to do today I have, despite the migraine, done 2 of them. Hopefully if I say it enough I might start to believe it.
When you hear about depression there is so much that isn't mentioned, due to the illness and all the medication I have to take both my concentration and memory has become impaired. With a result I can easily forget something, and then people saying it can't be important if you can't remember doesn't help because with me it could be important. As a result I have had to find a solution, so after saving hard I have bought a nexus tablet. This allows me to make notes, when I did them on paper I had a tendency to lose the paper. I can also set it up to give me reminders, for example if dad isn't around I can set it to remind me to take my medication. So the anxiety of forgetting is reduced.
