My Father is 66 and has dementia
For the last 20 years I have had a lot of responsibility in my job(s)
1st job - 20 years
2nd job - 18 months
Most days I feel very unproductive and some days I feel like I am regaining control.
I am very hardworking but lack focus and discipline but then I think I always have.
My boss tells me I am very good at what I do, but I no longer have the same confidence.
I have decided I need to change my vocation and work within a sales environment where the focus is on targets and hardwork is rewarded as I think I would be better suited to this type of work.
However I have just done a mental agility test for a job application and I was awful, I feel like I am loosing my mind I am 40 years of age and I feel as though everything is a struggle. I am a very tired person and have been for at least 20 years, it is a standing joke if I sit down at the end of the day, I usually can't keep my eyes open.
Keeping the house tidy, cooking, putting the washing away, I never seem to get around to doing my to do list at home. I have a wonderful husband who does the tea most nights and helps about the house. I work full time 9.30 (after dropping my daughter off at school)and usually home between 6 and 6.30 however I have worked later when feeling under pressure. When I come home my main focus is on my daughter and then I don't seem to have much energy left for anything some days like today I feel like my head hurts.
I am not very good with routine and frequently go to bed after 12, I am up at 6.30 each morning as I have promised myself that I will exercise everday (and have done for the last 5 weeks) I do 20 mins each morning on the elyptical trainer. I am always reading books on positive thinking and how to get organised.
Am I showing signs of dementia or have I just been fighting the stress for too long ..............
I am scared to go the doctors because I have applied to emmigrate and I don't want anything on my medical records.
Any comments will be welcome...............
