My mind is going in a million different directions. I can't focus and it is driving me nuts. Of course I had to take something because when my mind goes like this, I can't stop. The funny thing is, if I was alone, my mind wouldln't be racing... or racing as much. I have tasks that I need to complete, but then the phone rings, the dogs are getting into stuff, the baby wants to play out in the snow, everyone wants something to eat. Then I start thinking of things that have been on my mind. It just whirls round like a cyclone. I just want to make it stop!  Bug Eyes

 I hear that...Lately I have had issues with my ADD as well as my BP1....I can't seem to focus on one thing at a time either. I sweep, then I take laundry out to fold, get distracted by some other task, then I do that, then I see the dryer open and the laundry that I need to fold, not to mention the other laundry that has to be taken out of the washer and put in the dryer....and did I forget to finish sweeping? Oh shit, the laundry still needs to be folded!  It takes me like 2.5 hours to do stuff that only takes the Housekeeper an hour and a half to do....I miss her!!
 All I want to do is growl with frustration...lately it takes me forever to get stuff done...very annoying. I usually remove myself and practice the mindfulness....one task at a time, and I repeat my little mantra that I have over & over in my head....it starts to slow things down, so the racing thoughts are easier to deal with.
 I feel where you are coming from sister!   Undecided  It sucks. Slow down if you can, take a deep breath and try to focus on one thing...see if that helps. Read a bit about mindfulness meditation, it can really help.
(((hugs))) to you!
