I don't worry about my health generally but recently I'm worrying about the state of my mind. Mental health means a lot to me and I seem to be having some problems which I jokingly (to colleagues etc) put down to old age. It takes me longer to remember things I've learned recently (or even remember them at all) and my long term memory seems to be suffering too. I couldn't remember off the top of my head the dates of birth for my children amongst other more trivial things. I also seem to be losing a fair amount of vocabulary and a decent grasp of grammar. Also my concentration span is at an all time low (having to be told something at least three or four times is rather trying for all concerned)
This is all rather upsetting as I rely heavily on my wit and knowledge to get by (anyone who has seen me will understand this is important (a big part of my repertoire is/was self deprecation)) and if I'm really losing it what do I really have left.
Re-reading this has made it clear to me that what I'm trying to say will be hard to decipher which further cements my belief in a dwindling mind.
