P7- I just found out that this is also a very typical- and frustrating!- symptom. Because you are checking out the environment to make sure it is safe- where is the door of escape, who is here and how are they responding to me, is there any danger, how can I be safe here- the brain has determined other things are not so important- did I put my keys in my purse. SO, do not beat yourself up, your brain is trying to keep you safe. It is a survival thing, not an I'm dumb thing.
