Early Alzheimer’s
Lately I’ve been forgetting a lot, I don’t know if people could have Alzheimer’s in early age or if it’s just restricted to old age?
Sometimes it’s funny when I go to my room to pick something but the minute I’m there I forget and I stand still until I remember, but it’s not easy. That day I was looking for my keys in my way out of my flat, but I only had the milk carton in my hand and I was stuck for a moment thinking about my keys and when I returned the milk to the fridge, I found my keys there!
Last thing happened yesterday! It was time to go to work, but I felt uncomfortable like when we forget something important. The moment I opened my flat door to leave, I realized I didn’t wear my shoes. So I guess it’s not funny anymore.
Do other people suffer from the same thing? Does it happen because our minds are full of many ideas and thoughts about different things?

Early Alzheimer’s
Lately I’ve been forgetting a lot. I don’t know if people can have Alzheimer’s at an early age or if it’s just restricted to old age.
Sometimes it’s funny when I go to my room to grab something and the minute I get there I forget what I was doing. So I stand still until I remember, but it’s not easy. One day I was looking for my keys on my way out of my flat, but I only had the milk carton in my hand. I was stuck for a moment thinking about my keys and when I returned the milk to the fridge, I found my keys there!
Then this happened yesterday! It was time to go to work, but I felt uncomfortable like we do when we have forgetten something important. The moment I opened my flat door to leave, I realized I didn’t have my shoes on. (Or you could say you realized you weren't wearing your shoes.) So I guess it’s not funny anymore.

How glad I'm that you read that study Christie:-)Repeating is easy& I intend to do it more often.The funny thing I used to do it but I thought I sound like a crazy girl that is speaking to herself,but it was helping to remember between a room & another.You're right,stress &focusing on many other issues more than the thing I need to remember caused many problems,I sleep enough but I started a new job last month& overdoing my tasks I think to prove myself,maybe this is why! U'r a smart analyzer &I'm glad it's like what Charles said;that I'm still young for Alzheimer's:)Thanks Christi.

I read about a study that scientifically explains one of the major causes of the type of forgetting you mentioned. It happens when we move from one room to another. Our minds are tricked into think something new is happening when we pass through a doorway.So whatever is in our short term memory gets dropped because the brain thinks we're done with that information and on to something new. The cure for this is to repeat to yourself what you're doing as you step through the doorway.
The rest just sounds like fatigue from stress and not focusing on the task at hand. Maybe a deep breath? Are you getting enough sleep? :) Best wishes.

Heh:-) I was suggesting Alzheimer's but I know it ought to be something else. In my job,I write everything to not forget! but when i get back to my flat I give my mind a rest & I don't write anything,so that makes me forget serious things!!! thanks charlescuy,I may go to see a doctor for a check up.

I think you are too young for genuine early Alzheimer's, but you do seem to have a problem with thinking and recall. I can't even guess what the problem may be.
