[fright]
[/fright]Some years ago I had a temporary breakthrough using transfer factor; it was like my brain was released. I immediately started planning for the future. I thought I would do "X" first, then I would do "Y" then in a couple of months I would do "Z". It was a completely natural process and as the treatment faded it all went dark again.
I have a terrible time with planning or thinking ahead. I have a hard time even thinking of planning. I'm not talking about a week in advance, I'm talking about the day ahead of me. I think it's partly the idea of "ahead". I'm usually so overwhelmed by the here and now that I have trouble thinking of "ahead".
This really struck me today because I knew I had a lot of things to do but I just couldn't think of them. It was like a black hole.
When I make plans - phone calls, things to do, people to meet - I have to be real careful not to forget them. I forget dates to do things all the time.
I do know of people with ME/CFS who do fine at planning ahead but not me. It's like that muscle was lost.
This must have to do with problems with executive functioning....
What are your experiences?
