hi
Yes happy me is so frustrated tonight lol. I'm really struggling lately with cognitive issues. Mostly I work thru it, read the chapters for school longer and read it 3x over. I work harder it feels like most have to just to grasp the simplest concepts.
its' been my dream for as long as I can remember to be a therapist, to help people. To know in some small way iv'e made some difference. Yet lately trying to finish up my undergraduate degree in psych well it ain't easy!
I try to explain to my husband and he tries to be compassionate as of late with it, yet he can't get it.
It takes me a long time to grasp things that should be grasped very quickly. I have to read chapters 3x to "get it", or go back to chapter repeatedly. This unnerves me greatly. oh and yea i repeat stuff over and over again....
Upon being dx'd some 7 mos. ago i was never afraid of being handicapped or disabled in the sense of using a walker, wheelchair etc. my biggest fear was losing my memory, my ability to talk freely and quickly, and to process information. We all have different fears I guess.
the head of my department at school suggested I send info in so that i can get provisions, longer test taking time, etc. like my daughter's iep provisions
anyway i had to be glum tonight and vent this one out. I'm so frustrated of my family saying honey, mom don't you remember this that the other, and im like umm no. soo frustrated with being somewhere and forgetting why i'm there, of sitting with this same chapter tonight for like 3 hours almost just to grasp the concept of memory (of all things!), and also tactile sensory junk.
thanks for letting me get this out!
