My concentration is gone I can't even read a book anymore. If I play a game on my phone, I play it for about 10 mins max
I am really struggling in social situations. In a room full of people, I don't know where to start, who to talk to and I'm often standing alone whilst everyone talks to each other. I used to be an extrovert.
After any meeting or social event (anything out of the norm of my daily existence), I replay it in my head constantly, especially at night. Everything that was said, what I said, whether it came across wrongly. I will wish I had said this, that or the other but didn't think of it in time, as if my processing is very slow.
My memory is very bad. I struggle to remember certain things even from the previous day unless I've written them down. Eg. Things that have happened with children I work with, need to constantly note it down.
I feel very overwhelmed and can't make decisions. I have always been very decisive and used to struggle to unsustainable why people couldn't make decisions. It's like a constant doubt that I'll make the wrong decision (buying anything: a holiday, a night in a hotel, driving lessons for my son, skincare for myself etc. Anything out of my normal routine - I can but food for myself).
I am currently taking anti depressants and have been for about 18 years on and off (mostly on). My angry got very out of control in December so I went back on Ads after a while being off them and it's really helped that but nothing else has changed for the better.
Periods still very regular.
Is any of this familiar to anyone? I'm quite worried about early onset dementia as I feel so unlike myself though it's happened gradually over a couple of years.
