Losing the plot !
Yep definitely, I'm losing it , its gotta be this age thingYesterday I drove to a friends house and got lost
How I dont know as I've been there 3 times before, eventually I had to ring her and she came and found me 500yds up the road .
Today i wrote a birthday card to a friend who's birthday it is on Friday, I went to the post office when it was my turn to be served I said " may I have a half price stamp please " , the assistant looked oddly at me and asked me again , I repeated " a half price stamp please " , she said you mean a second class stamp . The queue behind smiled sweetly at me
My words come out muddled , or dont even come out because I forget what I'm saying , I can be in the middle of a sentence and my mind evaporates.
I drive to places and forget where I'm going .
The safest place for me is indoors I think
Am I alone in this .........?

I only ask because some types of aphasia (difficulty with speech/words) can have a physical reason, so it might be worth getting checked over by your doctor.
I think it is an age thing...

Re: Losing the plot !
Yep, definitely an age thing Susan. Fear not!
I forget stuff regularly and can't get my words out sometimes too - I see them in my head but can't grasp them for them to come out of my lips.
I say things back to front when there's a migraine in the offing.
I can relate to the driving thing too. I think it's because as we've been before our senses are relaxed - therefore we're not on the alert 'cos we know we've been before. You know, concentration levels are taking a nap, we're on auto pilot
Say you know what I'm talking about
