What I Need

(Chapter 25 Caregiver Tips in my book)

Sometimes I can forget things seconds or minutes later. Poof and it is gone! As someone who is living with a memory impairment, sometimes when things are happening to me and people are not understanding, it can lower my self-esteem! The way someone reacts to me when I repeat or forget something greatly affects how I feel about myself. This should not be happening because this is not my fault! There is something wrong with my brain and I can’t fix it.

I need understanding and love surrounding me in my life. I don't need someone who is not understanding or impatient.
