Hello

Hello to everyone
Hope you are all keeping brain busy
I have young onset vascular dementia and have to throw myself into painting as I find it relaxing and mindful
It seems to be when I have quiet times my head fog is worse
I also love listening to music and very often shut myself in my bedroom and play it loud
My husband who’s my carer doesn’t always like the same music🥲

💗 Hello and Welcome x.

Painting sounds a great way to relax and keep mindful. What kind of music do you enjoy? I wouldn't worry about not liking the same music as your OH , my OH likes 70s music which is not really my thing either 🤣

I hope you find the forum helpful.

Welcome from me too @Sheps.

I’m glad you’ve found this forum. I hope you find it supportive.

It’s good that you have your painting. It must be really therapeutic.

Music is good for us all but of course we don’t all enjoy the same thing! . I wondered if it would help to use earphones to listen to your music. If you did you wouldn’t have to shut yourself away to listen to it and your husband wouldn’t have to listen to it!
