My thoughts

June 15, 2015 (Chapter 24 My Thoughts and Feelings in my book)

I think that people who aren't affected by a memory impairment really don't have a clue! They think it is just about losing your memory, but it so much more than that. Because I often struggle with my memory, it affects many relationships that I have. I think that I used to be pretty out going, but I think that something has changed because of living with a memory impairment. I'm not as outgoing as I once was. I think the reason that this has happened is because I can forget words in the middle of a sentence. That can make me feel embarrassed, so I'm not interacting as much with co-workers which keeps the stress level down for me. A memory impairment can affect one's self esteem! This can be very difficult to deal with!
