Seeking a digital pat on the hand

[Baileynelly]

I think I might have Alzheimer's. I'm about to turn 55, so I hope I'm blowing something else out of proportion. Mum is in the final stages - diagnosed 7 years ago. Dad cares for her. I now live alone and don't want to worry anyone or make a fool of myself. We all forget things, but I am forgetting things too often and prompts don't remind me. I find some decisions really difficult and am having to make myself socialise.
Feeling afraid and alone.

Hi @Baileynelly go and see your Gp many things including vitamin deficiency can cause memory loss your inability to socialise may be caused by depression please go and talk to someone

Thanks @nellbelles
I do intend to. I was also wondering about sleep apnea - which can cause similar symptoms and is also treatable. I will go, I'm just pretty scared of a diagnosis.

Good morning @Baileynelly.

I’m sorry to hear about your worries. I agree with @nellbelles. You need to go to your GP and get checked out. I’m sure there are many things which might result in these symptoms so best to get it checked out.
