My Memory Impairment Journey

When the fog rolls in, I know that things are not going to be good.

These are dark times for me & I can feel very alone.

How long will it last & how thick will the fog be?

There is just no way of knowing.

 

 

While this is happening to me, I try to do my best to stay calm.

I know that adding stress, just makes things much worse.

All the while, I am very frightened inside!

 

 

I think that I'm usually very aware of when the fog rolls in.

But I have to admit that there are those times when it seems to sneak up on me.

During those times, it may take me a while to really figure out what is going on.

 

 

There is nothing that I do that causes the fog to roll in, but rather a symptom of living with a memory impairment.

So there is just no way of predicting them or knowing how long they will last.

Anything that I  do or say while in this fog, seems to not make much sense to me.

At times, I've been told by others that I make perfect sense to them, so that just adds to my confusion.

 

 

There is fog in my brain, when someone recognizes me, but I have little to no memory of them.

After I come through the fog, I sometimes will think about what has just happened.

Sometimes it is so upsetting for me, that I just cry for a while.

I think that the fog doesn't usually last that long, but then again, I'm memory impaired.
