Can't seem to function anymore...

I used to be such a fun loving character. I was clean, and organised. These days I can't seem to remember anything. I can't get into a routine; and this is affecting me: socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

When I wake up in the morning; you'd think that I'd have a shower, clean my teeth, do my hair etc. I don't. I just lay in bed not knowing what to do. I usually raid the ashtray for cigarettes, and then I sit on my Sofa. At some point during the day I go to the local pub in the hope that I might open-up to people. I can't seem to. It's like there's a barrier between me, and the people I'm surrounded by. I've tried calling the Samamratons; and they have tried a therapeutic approach. It doesn't seem to make any difference. My hygiene still suffers; and I can't seem to keep a track on the things I need to: paperwork, banking (my budget); cleaning the flat and being organised.

I need some help. I don't know what I'm suffering with; and I know to some it comes across as pure laziness; but, its not. I just can't seem to cope. I keep my medication by my bedside... so as I remember to take it. I'm sure my care-coordinater thinks I have a problem. I don't. I just can't seem to function. There is some history there, which I'm not willing to write down and put across on this forum. (the history is incredibly private). I'm hoping that someone will read this and be able to come up with a reason for my behavior... maybe a diagnosis.

Please write back; and hopefully, your comments will help.
