I know how you feel. It's really difficult. It does get easier, you realise in time that you can still do things and it doesn't change you overnight. I have found I'm actually more direct with people, I know time is precious so I am much better at speaking my mind and saying no. That's been a positve thing for me.
Do you mean you don't think you have dementia? Get a second opinion if you're not sure. If you have it and you're not dealing wiht it well, then I'd reocmmend going to a support group. A local memory cafe. Find others in the same situation who will understand how you feel.
Ah, sorry to hear that. It's so tough, I know. Don't give up on yourself. Surround yourself with positive folks and go out and do the things you want to do.
