FromSurviving2Thriving - Stress and Forgetfulness

Stress and Forgetfulness

There are so many symptoms of stress, as you have discovered in our online awareness of stress workshop. Let’s look at this one: Forgetfulness! Have you noticed that the more stressed you are, the more forgetful you become? You can’t find your keys, and that makes you more stressed. You can’t remember simple things. You can’t find the right words. Maybe it’s a sign of other things, so always get it checked by your GP. But generally the answer is: it’s just stress. It may get as severe as not remembering simple words for names of objects, or even when you can’t access any words! It’s still just stress.

Ageing Dementia, Stress and Trauma

Is it inevitable that dementia happens? I know that there is lots of research that says that it doesn’t have to happen and all the rest of it but is there a correlation between stress and dementia? So when I look at my Mum’s life there was early childhood trauma and she would have scored high on the ACE scale if those tests had been available. I know that her coping mechanisms for the rest of her life has always made her to be a difficult woman. She is a naturally intelligent woman but the dementia seemed to ramp up her intelligence and with that she developed stubbornness and with that classic narcissism which became one of her coping mechanisms.
