Why I don't like it when someone tells me that I have already told them something

(Chapter 6 Living with a Memory Impairment & Chapter 25 Caregiver Tips in my book) Is this a duplicate?

I live with a memory impairment and I don't like it when someone tells me that I have already told them something. As if I can remember that I have told them this today or in the past. That is not even possible with my brain. It is not as if I can prevent this from happening because I can't. I would be happier if people would just go along with me. Sometimes when someone says this to me, it really makes me feel sad. Since they don't seem to care, I just keep it inside and deal with it on my own. I wish they knew how their words really hurt me! How hard is it to just pretend that they haven't heard me say that before? It would go a long way to making me to not feel like a failure! I should not be made to feel bad about doing or saying something that I can’t control. That is just not fair to me! I live with a memory impairment 24/7 and I don't appreciate being reminded of my mistakes by someone else. I wish they would pretend to put themselves in my “shoes”. Picture what my life is like living with a memory impairment.
