Part of the reason I got disability is my cognitive issues. I have a great deal of trouble learning new things and my memory is like Swiss cheese. It is SO frustrating to repeat myself, to be unable to remember conversations I had only two hours ago...I hate it! And I don't know if it's bipolar or the meds I take to treat it that's causing the problems. Probably both.
You are not alone. There are a bunch of us in the same boat with you. (((HUGS)))
