degrading memory?

[orek]

does anyone else have this problem?


Oh yeah, we do. Maybe not manifested in the exact same ways, but we've noticed our own degrading memory enough to worry and wonder. Some of it might be menopausal. Some is surely dissociative. For instance, our presenting group of upfronters has been switching around more frequently, a new group stepping up when the previous is tired or overwhelmed. And not all the information from one group gets translated or passed on to the next one. There are pockets of missing info--not enough to be dysfunctional, but enough to be noticeable, at least to me, as well as probably my partner and T. Anxiety probably plays a role, too.

I do worry that it's chronic enough that it might reflect a physiological problem, maybe a predisposition to dementia or such. My only hope is that we will notice an improvement in our memory in inverse proportion to the expected decrease in dissociation once we're far enough along in our healing. We'll see, I guess!
