Me too. I have white cell brain disease and have been told that is often a precursor to dementia. Every time I forget something I know I knew I wonder if that’s the start of my slide into dementia.
Some serious prayers for you, just sayin.

Years ago I experienced a sever mental breakdown which caused me to lose a great deal of memory along with the ability to retain memories.
Went from being a Go-To person to being the one asking so many, many, questions. I compensated for it by putting everything in writing and making wonderful checklists that actually worked so well that others would use them for the job. LOL
That said, I was eventually told it will get much worse because of what happened - no way to undo the damage.
I can ask questions and in the next 15 to 20 seconds have forgotten the answers...heck...forgot I’ve even asked the question.
Told my beloved husband (who’s got an excellent memory.AUGH) that if I ask a question 100 times he is to answer it civilly 100 times.
It’s coming, though....I make jokes about it all the time with those I see on a routine bases and even strangers if they’re having bad days.
LOL It can always get worse in this life.....
I’ve told my beloved that if the LORD grants me a way of dying I would prefer it to be long term so I can clear out all my stuff and not leave him to have to do that task.
Got to look it and roll with it... I think, it’s harder on those who are truly alone these days because they actually get diagnosed with what’s going to affect them.
