Hi ~ I have "self induced" brain damage. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and because I drank for so many years, it damaged my brain.

I have done that on occasion, and it IS embarrassing. But like you, I quickly correct my mistake - and I often add that I have brain damage and that's why I messed up! I don't want people thinking I'm a complete idiot -- so if I tell them I have brain damage, they'll understand. It works. And we usually get a good laugh over my mistake. I might as well laugh about it. Sometimes it IS funny, depending on what I say. LOL

I don't really know the diagnosis either, but I don't really care. There isn't anything I can do about it since it's brain damage and it' going to be with me forever. The diagnosis isn't going to get rid of it, that's for sure. LOL

Best of luck, and God bless! Hugs, Lee
