2011-08-23 8:39 AM memory tricks My brain is doing its tricks again. It happened at lunch yesterday, and again last night. I had a conversation with DH and didn't remember it within 10 seconds. I have advised my boss and the secretary I cover for that this happens. That I write work down when given tasks on purpose so that I won't forget to do something. I am getting scared-these 'forgotten conversations' are becoming more frequent. And I went to repeat myself to DH-he said-you just said that. I forgot the name of the hotel we stayed in for a week when I had just said it.
What really scared me is that DH's solution to lower my stress level that these forgotten coversations cause is to stop having conversations with me. HUH? That was my response last night. When I told him that was not helpful to me and would cause more stress, I was told that I was being selfish. I need honest feedback from you all, am I being selfish? I know it bothers him when my memory blanks out, because I argue about it with him-especially if I "know" what I did or didn't do. I really hope and pray that the sleep study and follow up neurologist appointment get this straightened out. Memory is so subjective-it is one sided. Just your point of view. One has to really work to see the other side. And emotions do get tied up into the memories-I don't want to lose mine and I am scared. Cause this feels so wrong and so bad to not remember a conversation you just had with someone less than 10 seconds ago. Read/Post Comments (4) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
