I had learned that my great grandmother (who is deceased now. . . may she RIP) had Alzheimer's disease. She would remember very selective things before she passed away like she would remember my little brother, but forget who my father was. She was so sweet, ut it was hard to know she was going to something so horrible as forgetting everyone around you . . . everyone who made you who you are.
Anyway, probably off and on for at least ten years I get memory lapse, they are usually onl for a few seconds. I forget who I am, where I am, and even what I am doing. . . It all comes back to me when I take a deep breath, but it scares me that one day that may be perment. I never told anyone until I told a friend of mine the other day, because I was making dinner. . . eggs benedict and I had a memory lapse. I stood in his kitchen, and I had no idea what I was doing as the eggs were burning. It took me several seconds and to ask him what I was doing to get my memory back. You're mind goes blank and it is the scariest thing to not know what is going on. . . which is probably why i am a control freak and I usually write down everything I do.
I also have problems with my mind to focus on one thing at a time. . . when I talk to my friend we'll talk about one thing and there are like 50 other things jumbled in my head. It's just to get one thought out. I get distracted really easily. It really frustrates me(and I know it frustrates him), because I'll be in the middle of a story and I will get side track. I don't try to do it on purpose. . . .What the hell is wrong with me?
