Alzheimer's and Ageing

[CrackyChanFan]

I feel like my memory and fluid intelligence is just going to shit. I can barely retain any new information. Literally just remembering a new word or something is so hard it takes so many repetitions to get it to stick and then I forget it the next day. Both my grandparents got Alzheimer's really bad so I know I likely have it in my genes.

I wasted my youth not learning useful skills and having good experiences. I missed out on so much

I feel terrified of getting like my grandparents; getting even older and not being able to look after myself. Forgetting who my family members are. Shitting myself and basically losing my soul. I am terrified and enraged by that.
Ageing is horrible.

how old are you? if you are under 50, it's extremely unlikely to be alzheimer's.
depression can cause a lot of cognitive impairment.

I am 26 years old. I know I don’t have Alzheimer’s yet. However I know I have cognitive decline.

I have the same problem, i think it could be stress related.

I have the same problem, i think it could be stress related.

Its hard for me to focus and keep concentration, multitasking or working in loud environment become impossible for me. Also my memory is foggy, i used to remember faces and details for long time.

Depression has direct link to impaired cognition.
