Sorry can't spell.

[Debsdelight72]

Has anyone become naff at something they were good at before Fibro?

I used to be really good at spelling, And now???

💩💩💩💩💩

I'm actually very annoyed at my own stupidity now, I am my worst enemy and with OCD as well,

😠😠😠😠😠

My Hubby suggested just to spell as I hear it and you clever Fibro warriors would understand, I think maybe that's why I've started drawing again?

So My chrome book has lost the ability to take pics now, Something to do with a data clear I did as I was instructed and now I have lost all my Pin/ter/ests I had over 9,000 pins for all sorts of handy things! I have to find my mobile at some point for pics,

I haven't seen it for around 4 years now so i hope it hasn't exploded.

Hope everyone has a good rest and a good day (as can be)

I find spelling can be difficult due too fatigue lack of conjcentration.

Morning! Aside from my ability to sleep like a log, the other skills I miss are concentrating, multi-tasking and thinking ahead.

It really affects my enjoyment of things, knocks my confidence and can be quite embarrassing when I have to ask for help with something.

I’m normally a great speller, but there are still times when my foggy brain struggles a bit, specially when using a pen.

A skill I wish I had is the ability to nap… I just can’t get the hang of a casual daytime sleep! Once I’m up, I’m up!! 😂

Multi tasking was second nature to me. Now it's 100% just one thing at a time or I get overwhelmed and anxious. The lack of concentration and inability to follow a conversation, or losing words, yes, hugely embarrassing. At its worse I avoid interacting with others.Very much worse when extra tired.

But,trying to be positive using an iPad or whatever means I can take my time and ( mostly ) avoid spelling mistakes. My bad thing is not noticing auto correct has thrown in a weird word!

Oh yes, my spelling is 💩💩💩💩 too! I'm so glad that I have spell check on my computer and my phone. Sometimes my spelling is really way out! Also lack of concentration and completely forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing, starting a task and walking away from it half done. x

I find it quite scary sometimes to think how very much our brains actually do or don't for that matter 🤔 I know it has something to do with my lack of restful sleep,

My computer under lines a word when I've spelt it wrong but doesn't give an alternate, So I have to keep up trying with different letters until it's correct, What a drag 🙄

[Welshcatlady in reply to Debsdelight72]

Yes and mine!

[CheetieCat]

Just about everything! Hand write reports at work and have to spell check on my phone all the time, even silly little words. Also seem to write things round the wrong way? What's that all about?

Multi tasking? 😂 I'm so calm at work but inside I'm an absolute wreck, knowing I'm one step away from overdosing someone! If there's too much going on I just can't concentrate, my brain just goes into meltdown😵‍💫

People I've worked with for years and I can't for the life of me remember their name. If blagging your way through your day was a sport I'd definitely win gold.

Running on 3 hours (ISH) sleep isn't fun is it? But hey, made it through another day without killing someone so that's always a bonus 😂

[hazelcats in reply to CheetieCat]

But CheetieCat... Does it still count if we just think about killing someone! 😁
