[Rhapsody]

I have noticed that my memory is not so good these days and I honestly do not know if it is due to my DID, Medical Problems, Medicine or just good Old Age starting... but I do know that I could not remember my daughters (R.I.P) middle name or how to spell it the other day and my husband was shocked / dumbfounded.... I on the other hand was horrified.

This is not the first time things like this has happened to me with in the last year. *sigh*

Just wanting (needing) to share with someone that can relate.

I get that way as well. Sometimes I am unable to remember things that I just said and sometimes I have hard time putting together parts of my reality. It gets very difficult to speak to people at times.

((((((((((((((Rhapsody)))))))))))) There are a myriad of things that can cause this. It might be helpful to go to a Dr just to make sure nothing else is going on. Please take care and keep us posted.

I hear you Rhapsody ..... i can be half way thru a sentence and i numb out .... or daydream, forget someones name whoi've known for ages ..... and even if someone just told me somethingi go ask them the same thing again maybe dementia is setting in at 43 .... or maybe part of disossiating, I'd love some answers too ((((((((((((((Rhap)))))))))))))))))

hugs and care, Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxo

Oh Man - does that ever happen to me and I hate it... some times I cannot even remember the simplest of words to use or how to spell them. *sigh*

I can relate to that Rhapsody. Thursday my daughter was upset with me because she called me at 8 am and wanted to go over how to approach her boss with info that she's job looking. Apparently I was rather sharp with her and impatient. That night I called Sarah and was talking to her when I noticed she was real quiet (not her normal way). I asked and she told me about our conversation of the morning. I HAD AND HAVE NO MEMORY OF THAT FIRST CONVERSATION. I vaguely remember getting the phone and nothing more.

It is really distressing to not remember things that others are clear on. I often watch a movie re-run and it is brand new to me even though my spouse says we watched it on DVD before.

I wish I had something consoling or helpful to say, but all I can say is you are not alone. It keeps happening to me also. My daughters handle it just fine, but my hubs is another story! =(

(((hugs)))

I have the same thing with names all of the time... it is a common thing for me... and.. it scares me...my own son's name... couldn't remember it..

the other day.... I was having a conversation.. with someone... that was new to me.. so I was on edge.. and I just could not remember his name....

so... you are not the only one... I try to not get upset... but.. it is hard...

for you....
