I've experienced the "why am I here?" , searching for words during a conversation, confusion over simple, ordinary things, and plain old memory loss. Abot three years ago my doctor told me there was nothing that would help and I should get used to it. About 8 months ago a friend gave me a book, Keep Your Brain Alive. It offers brain exercises based on research that is about 10 years old. I thought they were helping me regain my mind within a short time, and after 8 months of almost daily working with them - they take some effort - the improvement is dramatic. I very seldom open a drawer or cubbard and wonder what I am looking for, and when it does happen the answer comes quickly. I still get easily confused sometimes, but not nearly as often as before. I make fewer special trips to the compost because I remember to take out the garbage when I'm going outside for something else. The book gives all the research behind the exercises and is available in paperback for about $10 There is also a web site of the same name. |
"As someone with Bipolar II, it is not easy finding people who understand. Here at MD Junction, EVERYONE understands. What an incredible feeling it is knowing that I don't have to deal with this disorder alone. MD Junction is the best resource I have found on the internet as support for just about any mental or physical condition." (Colleenj)
