Sense of losing my mind

This weekend my husband, our son, and myself went to the ocean for a biker run. On Saturday while we were looking at the vendors I did something I have never done before, I was looking at some stuff and I notice a lock box and it had a tag on it. I looked at the the tag to see of there was a price on it. There was no price on it so I opened it and when I opened it and I found cash in it. I then relized it was the vendor’s cash box. I apologized to the vendor and they were cool about but I was very embarrassed about it and started to cry. Then an hour later we went into the kites shop and I just started talking to random person whom I thought worked there and he is looking at me like I’m crazy. My husband said to me he doesn’t work here. I ran off crying. Also when I’m texting I have a tendency to repeat my words in a sentence. I feel something is wrong. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Sorry for the long explanation. I don’t if this has to with fibromyalgia or not.

I believe this is fibro...We all have those moments. I find at moments when I would want to cry I have to laugh. I believe even people that do not have fibro often mistake regular people as someone who may work in the stores. The cash box... well that sounds like something I would do... I mean it had a tag on it but no price!!! Do not be so hard on yourself you are not alone! I would mention it to your Dr. the crying is what makes me concerned...but as always never assume that everything that happens to you/us is a fibro. symptom. It wont hurt to talk to your Dr.

My brain is sooooo foggy and I too do stuff like that every day. I finally went to the Dr to get referral to start dealing with my fibro and the Dr scheduled me for a MRI and an appointment with a neuro Dr who specializes in alzheimers. They are going to test me for that. Needless to say I have been super emotional and praying now that this brain fog is in fact fibro brain fog because I will take all of this stupid stuff I do and say over alzheimers any day. Im only 55. I have read so many posts here where others have done similar things and am hoping that this is fibro. Crazy that anyone would want this, but I do rather than the alternative.

I will answer the question with a question about your fatigue and if you notice increase with this type of events with change of sleep habits or anything causing increased fatigue so that yes in my case it has always been the disease warning me off to prepare for flareup either prepare for one coming, or begin management tactics and skills for least amount of discomfort as is possible using increase rest, decrease stress, hot water or prescribed heat/cold compress.therapy, stretches, medications yoga, etc. even diet changes. best wishes to all with fibro fog can be for many reasons and is to me not any different than epilieptic or diabetic aware it is time to take care of what it is about to happen serious nature of personal care comes into play and makes for good discussion with provider for improved skills with this disabling and complicated illness I have suffered for many years. Much is yet to known about what we need and more discussion with the professionals seems to be posititve in my view, as my opinion goes for what it is worth as a patient.

I was going to post a reply,glad i read Ragdoll's reply,,100% what i feel is problem...I have done this when i go weeks without sleep and fatigue sets in,,i really can't function in public..God bless,,,, wayne

Actually my sleeping habits have gotten better over the last two weeks. I’m sleeping better and I’m sleeping through the night. The only difference is that I switched shifts and now I am working from 6am to 4:30pm and lately we are short handed so I have been helping out with more hours.

The only increase of medication I have had lately was a month ago was my Topamax for my migraines.

I’m an emotional person and I started crying because I know I have never done anything like that before. Even though my husband is very supportive; he even stated that he has noticed a changed in me.
