I've had alot of stress lately. My cognitive functioning is declining. I went to IKEA for some insane reason. I couldn't find my way out and I was having trouble finding my words. This problem seems to be happening more and more. I can't reduce my stress my son lives with me. My husband who is his step dad is getting more and more concerned. He actually was testing me to see how I would do at the store. He thinks I have trouble taking care of myself never mind a 16 year old who just got caught with pot and is pist that I invaded his space. Now my husband is upset. My son is pist and I'm trying to deal. Can stress really make me that much worse?
