This will be a quick post. I am losing things & finding things & losing things again. I have no control over what happens. My mind is going slowly. But, I still have good days of course. Sometimes I have bad weeks! I am just going through a time. I am not going to keep things from my AH. He is not a threat to me just because I don't tell him something. I just don't want to flat out lie to him. Anyone in the same boat? I need a better oar!

Kathleen

(((Kathleen)) I have the same issue from time to time Happy to hear that you know that Hubby is not a threat if you do not tell him "everything" Just remember that you have a right to privacy and that the alanon oar works for all of us ODAT :)

Me, too. I don't lose things and I do forget things. I could call that due to aging but my daughter tells me I've been saying: "Shoot! Where did I put my keys? Where did I put my glasses? I can't find them" for years and years. She just waits. She knows that in a few minutes I will say, "Oh. Here they are."

I'm not sure what you're meaning about your hubby not being a threat to you if you don't tell him everything?

I do know that when I'm going through a very stressful time, until I relax, my brain kinda bunches up and no new thoughts can enter the frontal lobes. Just relaxing helps me with this.

I know when the stress is high I tend to fins my mind elsewhere.
I try to keep on one task instead of too many then I forget things too.

I don't tell much to my spouse at all.. it is sad he used to be my soul mate..
Now my soul mate is replaced by my HP..

My HP is good at helping me find things.

I lose things all the time, especially my keys and glasses. I believe this is just aging. I'm glad you feel you can tell your husband about your meetings. But I also agree with HR, you do have a right to privacy  and please continue using your Al-Anon oar. smile

 

It works if you work it!
