Hey sweetie, I'm glad you found supportive friends and family members. You did the right thing by letting go of the judgy friend. I'm also glad you found such lovely surroundings. I've found that nature always lifts my spirit. I'm a care giver for someone with dementia who was an awful person when younger, and is now almost unbearable. I struggle with the guilt and obligation of caring for this person, while thinking of the mostly mental, but also some physical, abuse I endured. And also, I worry about developing dementia myself. You're not alone. Please stay close to your support group. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help if you need it. Sending you hugs and prayers.
What a beautiful area you live in. Breathtaking. Dementia runs in my family so I sometimes worry about it . I do take a lot of vitamins and supplements and hope this may delay or prevent this someday but if it happens I will have to accept it. There is a lot that can help with memory loss and more and more advancements with dementia treatment so I will be thinking of you. Love from Tulsa Oklahoma
There is some research that shows progress is sometimes slowed by adopting a Mediterranean diet and daily exercise- minimum of 1/2 hr but an hour is better. People who have MCI have been able to revert back to “normal “ - for how long is unknown at this time. It’s too early to say. Dementia is something that terrifies all of us. You recognize changes. I hope there are ways to slow things down for you. You’re facing this with great bravery. 🙏🏻
Thank-you for sharing. I haven't been diagnosed with dementia, but the fear is there that that's where I'm heading. There are the forgetness that I can say is "normal", but I'm noticing more frequent episodes that has had me fearful & even cry. I am looking forward to following you through your journey.. you videos will help many I'm sure❤
