hi here, new to this forum, but glad it is here.
I'm a bit concerned about a friend, who's in their 80s and am wondering if this might be an early symptom of something...
The friend, every time we meet up or speak on the phone, seems fixated about certain workplace incidents that happened to them over 40 years ago. The friend then tells me about them, and it doesn't matter what I say ("you can't change the past", "you did the right thing", "let it go", etc etc), the next time and every time we next meet up or speak on the phone tells me about the same scenario/incidents all over again, and so it goes on.
One of my friend's late parents and also a sibling of my friends had Alzheimer's.
Should I be worried my friend might be developing it?
The repeating the same story thing - what do you think it sounds like?
many thanks, very much appreciated.
