MemLoss is about my speech and memory becoming noticeably inconsistent.
Day-to-day, I am forgetting words when I speak (not when I write), as well as forgetting various steps in whatever task I’m supposed to be doing. Because of this, I’ve begun using my music, animation, artwork, etc., as a method of documentation. Not so much documentation of speech and memory loss, but of the confusion it leaves behind.
The most interesting part of this issue, to me, is the amount of proof it takes to get those around me to actually understand what is going on. From having to use descriptors instead of the actual words I need, to inadvertently missing parts of the processes I perform every day. While it is audibly and visibly apparent; rather than trying to understand, it’s discounted. Most frustrating is the decline. Of course this is glossed over, because it’s like watching an hourglass - change is happening slowly - faster now than before, but still glacial to the outside observer.
