Is forgetting things ever 'normal'? Please help!?!


Question: Is forgetting things ever 'normal'!? Please help!!?
I've been freaking out for the past week, because I'm forgetting things!.

I forgot my debit card pin at the store & had to think for about 15 seconds before I remembered (although I could remember my husband's!.)

I was coming up to my office, and had to think for a second which floor I needed to push!. :(

I'll go into a room to do something and forget what it was!. :(

I'm a 39 year old female, so not sure if I'm too young for Alzheimer's or not!. It doesn't run in my family!. The only other thing I can think is that I just got laid (this is my last week), so that's a huge transition after being here for 15 years!. Memory issues coinside with layoff news!.

Does this sound like normal stress or something to be worried about!? I've been quizzing myself - What's my oldest sons bday, what's my youngest son's bday, what's our address, phone number!.!.!. just things I think someone with Alzheimer's would have a hard time recalling - no problems remembering those things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It's completely normal!. Many people forget things!. You've certainly heard of the absent-minded professor; well, there are all sorts of absent-minded people!. You should not worry about this!. But, it does sound like the layoff has really affected you deeply (which is normal, too), so look after yourself and if you're feeling down or too nervous, see a therapist or even a professional career counselor (if you're looking for a new job)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think you meant "laid OFF"!. you need to make sure you are wording things correctly!. people will have a FIELD DAY with you!.!.!.!.

anyway, i think it's stress!. take a moment to relax!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
