This has been happening for a long time now. It's not something that happens occasionally. It happens every day now, which has increased from before when it was more sporadic, but has been getting steadily worse over the last 3 years. I think it is a sign of something that is wrong but no one believes me. I'm not the only one who notices this, lots of people notice it.

So what is this troubling thing?

When I answer the phone at work I can't get the time of day right. "Good afternoon thank you for calling...." Oh, it's only 8 a.m. And then when afternoon comes around... "Good morning...."

Patients actually laugh and make jokes. Sometimes they get upset, some people ask what the heck is wrong with me.

I try to be slow. I take a deep breathe before I speak, be calm. Wrong words come out.

What the heck is this and why does it keep getting worse? Has anyone else experienced it?
