Took me ages to find what I'm about to post Kev!

Oh I hate this side of the condition.... I used to be pretty intelligent, but nowadays my brain is definitely leaking away! I posted this is another thread, hope you don't me recycling it

.....

The Date Fiasco - I book something for one day, and write in on the calendar. I then book something else for the same day that will clash. I talk about both things separately and quite confidently in conversation, without connecting the dots. The day comes near, i have that cold 'oh no' and have to let someone down. I come across as forgetful, disorganised and uncaring. Great. Ordinary folk don't forgive that kind of thing easily.

Word Fumbling - conversational hand-flapping combined with lots of "oh what's the word for that?!". I know what I mean, but the word just won't come. I hate it. I prefer typing lol, cos I can stop and think!

Name Shame - same as above, but names you know very well - family, friends, your doctor, that hunky actor from you-know-what, you know the one who was on that film about something with that girl from that thing on BBC2...

Top of the Stairs Confusion - you know, where you walk painfully upstairs for something, get to the top, and can't for the life of you remember what it was you came up for. Grr.

The Hallway Reluctance - going out, I often stand in the hall with my car keys, looking round because I'm convinced I've forgotten something I'm meant to take with me. Sometimes I have forgotten something, often I wasn't meant to take anything anyway. Omg the time I've spent just loitering...in pain...

Sudden Smack Self in Head Syndrome - when you are sat there quite happily watching TV, typing, on the phone etc.....and you suddenly think of something you should have done. Gets me every time. And I don't do rushing about very well now!
.....

Made me smile to write it anyway, that's got to be worth something

Bram
