10. My pets are very protective of me, too, they have alerted me when something is off.

I have chronic major depression, PTSD, general anxiety disorder, and AADHD. There are times when my focus is fine other times I might do what you did, and leave the water on and nearly flooding the place. It's frightening to look back at these incidents, like what is wrong with me. Most likely it is related to the conditions that you have already been diagnosed with. Many other factors can have an influence on certain episodes like leaving the water running. I've burned food, destroying the pan and a meal I took the time to prepare, also.

What I have found by tracking my routines, is that one or more, those other factors, such as trying to multi task, not enough sleep, not drinking enough water, stress about finances, etc. , were present when the mishap occurred. You mentioned that your blood sugar can get quite low, that may have been involved, the straw that broke the camels back.

You should talk with your doc's or at least get schedule an appt. to discuss these concerns. Be compassionate towards yourself, take care of your body, mind and spirit,. You deserve it. Take care, I'm glad Othello is there, he's such a devoted and smart kitty boy.
