rmschaver,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. As you have commented, you are very early in your recovery. Have you had any luck with doctors? Very few are of any help.

I see you have the same dyslexic tendencies. Cathartic vs carthetic. I can't type without spell check or my comments would be gibberish.

Introduce yourself. There are lots of good people here.

Regarding doing multiple step tasks, this is a common struggle that most do best with by breaking such tasks into single processes. A written list of the steps may help. Trying to keep the following steps in mind can get in the way of completing the previous steps. The mind may get stuck bouncing back and forth between steps without completing any.
