    My brain feels like it's wiring is all wrong. My concentration has gone out the door.

    I have the worst memory ever. I cannot remember a short sequence of things such as coffee orders at work, cannot read books with ease because I forget what I've read a few words(not even lines) before.

    Accessing information seems slow. I forget names quite easily, spend about half an hour thinking of it because it pisses me off. It's not that I don't know it, it's just that I cannot access the information.

    When writing assignments and such I frequently forget to finish words, for example I will write "balloo" instead of "balloon" because I get distracted easily.

    When speaking I often say the completely wrong word.

    I will also go to a specific place but then forget the whole point of me going there in the first place.

    It's driving me crazy and has been getting a bit worse lately. My brain feels like it has too much information crammed in it and using a filing cabinet to index it rather than a computer.

    The big scare for me is that both of my mothers have alzheimers, my mother cannot speak without saying "uuh uuh uh uh" all the time, which might mean I will end up like that!

    I am a fairly intelligent person and perform well at uni. I don't think it is because I am stupid. Perhaps I should see a doctor.

    What do you reckon ?

    Just to throw this out before me or anyone else can take a gander-

    do you use any drugs? illegal OR legal (like medications)?

    No drugs at all.


    See what I mean, I totally forget whole words and such. I meant grandmothers instead of mothers.

    Though I could have 2 mothers if they were lesbians, but then obviously one of them having alzheimers wouldn't be related :)
