Do you ever feel as though your memory impairment is like a "large purple elephant"?

Nov. 5, 2020 (Chapter 24 My Thoughts and Feelings in my book)

In other words, the large purple elephant represents the memory impairment and its symptoms. People might be aware that the symptoms are present, but no one wants to talk about it. Could it be that they are unaware that this is happening? Perhaps it is just easier to ignore the symptoms rather than talk about it and use the time to educate. If the symptoms are being ignored does that mean they don't exist? Ignoring the symptoms doesn't make them go away. I think that it is better to talk about it rather than ignore it. If there was a large purple elephant in the room, everyone would be aware of it, but no one wants to talk about it. The purple elephant would be very difficult to ignore.
