loosing my place

does anyone here get so giddy with impulses and capriciousness that they loose their place(in the sense that they loose self awareness and what they were doing?)

I am doing ok but I feel like this almost loosing consciousness has really been something that I have had to learn about and overcome.

peace,

This sounds a lot like hypo-mania.
That feeling that we are living on air, the excitement of life is overwhelming.

Keep an eye on your mood, if it gets too elevated, talk to your Pdoc.

Until then, enjoy what happiness your life is bringing you !

Mark, I feel that way when I'm trying to do too many GOOD things at once. My mind just goes blank. I hate it when I have errands to run using the car and I can either remember (1) how to drive the car or (2) where I'm going. LOL! Fortunately, I use post-it notes to keep myself on track.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
