Jess,
It sounds like you are suffering symptoms of ADD, although depression will sometimes do similar things. There also sounds like a lot of anxiety. That could be due to all the things you are forgetting to do and the subsequent troubles that it causes you. Have you ever been diagnosed with anything like bipolar or depression? (don't have to answer if it is too personal) If you are on meds there could be something that needs adjustment. If you are under the care of a physician you should probably go in and tell him/her what is going on. One thing is that you need to get a good night's sleep every night otherwise you'll be half out of it all day and that adds to not being able to keep track of things and making mistakes. My doctor gave me Trazodone to help me fall asleep at night and said to get between 8-9 hrs. There are other remedies like melatonin and I know some people use Niquil at bedtime but I don't know what the ramifications are with Niquil and recovering addicts. If you have acne melatonin might not be a good solution either. It gives me acne like I was fifteen again after a few nights of using it.

Trust me I know how stressful life can be when you keep forgetting to do stuff. I have ADD and so does Eddie.

If you aren't under the care of a psychiatrist you should consider seeing one. They can help with biological and psychological issues but that leaves sociological issues. That is what you have to work on, psyd's and therapists can give you suggestions on how to aleviate stress in your life. My suggestion is to make your life as simple as possible for a while until you get a better handle on things. Take some time out every day to do something you enjoy. Like homework! Just kidding! LOL!

I hope this helps.

btw, I'm not well-versed with meth addiction and I was wondering if you could inform me a little bit. Is it possible to tell if someone is still using? I can tell when someone is on coke are the symptoms similar? Isn't severe weight loss an issue? Does one gain some weight back after getting clean? I remember I would start to have a funny smell about me on the rare occasions I did it.
