HI GUYS,
I am a Health Anxiety sufferer. My latest and worst fear is early onset dementia at 36. This after my mother has been struck down 2 years ago. Although she was 70 before it got bad. Maybe early signs by 66, 67.
I can't read hardly at all anymore and I was a sharp reader. Reading the same sentence 3 times to make sense, reading outloud i jumble words. I jumble words in speech. I have blurred vision. I forget what i was saying mid sentence and don't make sense sometimes. I drop things, fumble with keys. forget what i went into a room for. even been into the wrong room a few times. I also wake up disorienteted at first and then recognise my surroundings. Same with my long distance vision. Is it a bus? no it's a pickup truck with a trailer. The most scary is I wrote a customer name on a box at work at the height of my worst stress days. Instead of ST JOHNS AMBULANCE I wrote ST JNS ABSONE. I found it an hour later. I was thinking about my symptoms at the time but is that and excuse. I get flashes like my brain got unplugged and then rebooted. I think night and write knight. I took ages to write this as I had a million typos. I saw a cat in the front yard and no it was a black bucket in the corner of my eye. Have I got dementia?? I'm Terrified. Can anxiety cause all this. Severe anxiety?
Any help will be much appreciated.
