[fast5] Help, advice, once again...?

I have been trying so hard to make this work and I just can't seem to shake some things, so I'm asking one last time for any help, advice, encouragement... anything from anyone who has had long term success with Fast-5.

Here's a portion from a log I had been keeping and it talks about my experience over the course of a typical few days:

Saturday was a free day... we took the kids on a trip for the day, it was great, I felt fine all day long. Sunday morning I was back on track, however, I was spaced out all morning, it was hard to maintain a thought or hold a conversation because it seemed my mind wandered so much... I attribute that to the spaciness, I don't know what else to call it. When I did finally eat, as usual, I would try to eat slowly but even still it made me feel weird. Monday, I was just "out of it". I wasn't in that great of a mood, I was short with the kids, I couldn't seem to concentrate long enough on anything that required much thought, so I didn't get much accomplished as far as work goes. I seemed to be limited when it would come to having a discussion that required deep thought or explanation. I don't know what this is called, but I was doing things in a strange order...? For example, let's say I was getting up to go to the bathroom and I wanted to take my water bottle with me to fill it up in the sink while I was in there... simple task right? Well, I would walk into the bathroom, flip on the light, take the cap off of the water bottle, set the cap and the bottle on the sink, go to then go to the bathroom and think to myself... "why did I just take the cap off of the water bottle, I'm not filling it up until I finish going to the bathroom?" Just a weird confusion or something...? I don't know how to explain it...? It's like I'm completely distracted, but on what I have no idea... I just can't focus. I was extremely tired last night to the point of getting aggravated at the kids when they asked me for help with anything. Bottom line is I'm ready to quit, once again, this morning. I just can't do it... it's not worth it if I can't shake the confusion and spaciness. It's not something I can maintain. I drink water like crazy and it doesn't seem to make all of that go away.

Any advice, comments or anything is completely welcome.

Thank you guys!
