My cognition seems to be getting worse. I repeat myself to people, with no memory of the conversation, and my sense of direction is getting worse. It was never good, but i was traveling in June, and it was really disorienting. It was never this bad in the past. Otherwise i'm fine cognitively, it's not interfering with work. I'm too young for dementia (38). My pdoc thinks it's caused by bipolar, because of so much time untreated. She said I can go for cognitive testing if i want, but it's expensive, and not totally necessary. Still it would be good to know where things stand. So they only take referrals from primary care, so i saw my GP, actually her partner because she was away. The GP said i don't need it, and just to focus on sleep and anxiety for 3 months. Thing is I always focus on sleep and anxiety, and those symptoms are pretty under control right now. I want to know if I'm ok and over reacting/scaring myself, if this is caused by bipolar, or a med side effect. She said to come back if i need to. I see my pdoc in November, so I'll talk to her about it then. But idk in the meantime. Anyone else have symptoms like this?
