I so understand the forgetting or being confused. I used to think I was stupid because I didn't know what people were talking about half the time. I've always hung back in conversations because of this, waiting for them to say something, or enough, that I could latch onto to continue the conversation.

It may have been your brain's way of protecting you from the fact that your former T had cancer. That's a big thing to have to deal with and if you had a good relationship with your T, it was probably a scary thing. Scary=Forget in my brain.

I struggle with jobs at work sometimes because I will be asked if I did such and such job and as I'm shaking my head no, I'm wondering. Often they will come back and say, oh, hmm, your initials are on the ticket. Anymore when they ask, my pat answer is, "Hmm, I do so many jobs that I might have, but I just can't remember right now." Then I usually have to go through the job (I'm a graphic designer) and try to figure out what needs to be done, what was done, etc. And often times I disappear and it gets done again without me. I hope one day to have enough co consciousness that I know what people are talking about without the investigations. I think that's one reason I like this forum. Everything is written down and I can go back and read whenever I want to. I may not always remember that I wrote it, but I can see it there in Black and White and that's been very helpful to me.
