Whatever2013 that is so funny about the burping. I would never think that would be a personality thing.
I seem to have issues with remembering people unless I know them well (faces, names, that we've met sometimes), directions (I get disoriented spatially sometimes), facts about things I once knew well, like if I took a course and aced it, later the information can be hard to retrieve. I get embarrassed when people ask me questions I should know because I am considered intelligent enough, and yet will get confused or unable to recall a basic thing. Sometimes I cannot place events from my past, and end up asking people if this or that occurred. My cognition seems to fluctuate with my moods and hormones. It got really bad after I stopped Lexapro in the mixed episode I was in, I kind of crashed and remember trying to organized some computer files for hours and could not do it, other times I can be very fast in my thinking. I don't know if it's an attention thing, or what, I just hope it's not related to dementia or something.

BirdDancer thank you for the response, I am glad to hear you both recovered over time. I hope this will happen with me, too.
