> Hi flutterby, thanks for your response. It helps to know that others do the same thing. More than anything I have loss of time, my children say I don't act any different but I don't remember and that has driven me mad at times!

------Yes, it helps me a bit too- to read of others "forgetfulness". I don't talk about it much.... still feel so embarrassed. I have paranoia and also fear if others knew of how I lose moments, then they might take advantage of that and use it against me.... so I'm quite guarded. (not meaning here, Oh no!... I mean in my 3-D life)you said,"I don't act any different but I don't remember and that has driven me mad at times!".... OH YES! me too! exactly.
I cringe when someone is talking about when we did this or that and they ask me about it..... as I sit there with my "blank" memory..... *rolls eyes*.... I tell my husband things like-- "What? I was never there" or "You must have been with someone else-- it wasn't me".... I don't really know what he thinks of my "forgetfulness" as I stear away from talking about it.... I just say-- "Oh you know me-- the Queen of Forgetful"..... ugh.....
good to share with you,
flutterby-mandy
