I always have had what I call “cognative defecits”. This is where the brain has problems fuctioning on a cognitive level, like constantly leaving things around the house with no memory of where they are. I addressed some of this today in the daily check-in thread here “Bipolar Check In Thread”. Perhaps not appropriate net etiquette, but I will quote myself from that thread:

“My mind has not been working. Quite frequently I have been forgetting what I was doing at the time. I stop in the middle of a conversation unable to come up with the right words. I even have been forgetting what I was just talking about. I cannot think clearly. I have had to look up how to spell simple words. I have been leaving all sorts of things around the house, forgetting where I placed them.”

Before my disability, this was a very uncommon state of mind. Now this problem has been happening to me every single day. Have any of you have similar problems? Also has this been a periodic problem? My mindlessness can come and go. However, as I grow older, it has been getting worse. Now this state of mind is becoming more the norm for me, but still with periods of clearer thinking. I wonder if this is part of my MI? Perhaps the meds? I wonder if this is early onset dementia?
