Can I get a uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I only repeated the order in my head 20+ times before getting up to the counter. Why‽
Memory recall is the worst for me. Long-term or short-term, cognitive; all bad.
- Did you remember to grab your laptop on your way to work? Nope.
- Do you remember going to the movie theater, sitting in your seat, and watching the new animated Adams Family movie with your family? Nope.
- Did you move that load of towels from the washer to the dryer four days ago? Nope.
- Did you remember your wife’s name after fifteen years of marriage when introducing her to your new coworkers? Nope.
- Do you remember the word for that super simple thing? It’s literally the opposite of down, and you should definitely not be stumbling on this word because we’re on a conference call. Nope.
I absolutely hate it when my language center segfaults and I feel like I have aphasia. I will go through periods where it happens a concerning amount, and then back to a sprinkle of dysfunction. Forgetting simple words or names of people you have known for years is unsettling. I sometimes get really scared and panic if it happens a lot. Trying to explain to your coworkers on a conference call that your brain isn’t functioning correctly isn’t the most comfortable experience.
