(((((((lavieenrose)))))))) Sorry you were unable to get into a chatroom. I'm sure it was just some technical glitch and I've seen a post by someone else somewhere about having similar problems (being unable to enter chat).
I hear you on the poor memory and concentration. One of my biggest problems right now in that regard is that I am forever losing things. It's just getting ridiculous!! Certainly the word "dementia" pops into my mind with unwelcome regularity also
And I can definitely relate to what you say here about interpreting things in a bleak way too!
I really hope tomorrow is a better day for you (((((((lavieenrose)))))
