I know exactly what you are talking about. One of my friends even knighted me as "the space cadet" because I just seemed to very inattentive about
alot of different things.
Throughout my week, I would constantly notice how often I forgot things, from simple things, to major important things, mostly relating to misplacing
them.
It's hard to compare how it might have been directly related to what I was going through, from school to work and both.
Its like I constantly found myself "going through the motions" and not really feeling like I was even making any decisions, but merely my body was
just in a reaction auto-pilot.
I personally could notice this change after a large change in how my work changed in a short period of time.
I went from taking classes online, not drinking, working everyday in a not so mundane job, going to the gym, reading alot of books, not stressed,
engaged in hobbies..to
stopped reading, work no longer being routine yet becoming mundane, stop going to gym, drinking, work interfering with school/affecting grades, less
engaged in hobbies.
The first part was in 2008 the second 2009. And the second part is where I noticed my inattentiveness, as well as my friends.
That is just my own relationship to a possible reason why. There were other variables in both, but that was just the gist.
I honestly just felt like, I didn't even really pay much attention to what I was doing, I was spaced out, and when I looked back on it, it kind of
scared me that I was the one who was still in charge in the end.
Don't know if you were in the same boat as me but that was me last year.
