I love your honesty. I've struggled with similar things. I go to the bathroom, wahs my hands and leave the tap on. I sometimes forget what I was supposed to get at the store.

You're stressed. You mentioned your daughters coming to you with various problems. Then you have friends that you have obligations to.

Take a bit of time. A breather. If you can. No appointments with friends, not daughters who are adults, just you. Easier said than done, yeah, for sure. Even if it's 24 or 48 hours. See where you are after that. And stop spinning. I can read the spinning in the story. You're terrified of losing your mind. Been there. Don't fall into the temptation of self diagnosis. Take time for you, and then reassess. You're no good to your friends or daughters if you're exhausted and stressed.
