This is a forum to discuss stratagies for dealing with our problems inherent to dementia

This has been a big one for me. Somehow I need to allow myself to accept the fact that I can comprehend simple instructions. It is hard but I know that is part of what has has made me un-empoyable. That plus getting lost in the stock room and forgetting what the customer odered!
I find the best way to accept the new me is to chill! I understand that the stress of worrying only makes it worse.
What do others do? I need some support!

This is another tough one. This is the way I look at it. You have two chioces.
.
1) If you tell them than the intelligent ones woll understand.
. 
2) If you don't tell them they will look at you and say to them selves, "What is up with him?"
. 
I take option #1 and pray they will remain friends with me! 

This is true for me. I keep medical records on Word documents for reference.

I probably need 4 times the time that I previously needed for showering, shaving, dressing, chores around the home etc.
Accepting that is important for me to keep anger (issue 1) at bay.

Acceptance by both Patiens and Caregivers is very important in dealing with  any of the isses noted here. 

Man, I just can't get a handle on this one. How does anybody else plan. My "Plan of Action" was to "Plan my work and work my plan". Then there is always the simple fact that I can't find the correct word for what I want to say.
Anybody got some thoughts on that?
 

I'll proboba;y always need help with this one. I comes over me every evening and if there is any commotion around me I don't handel it well. A few hours later my Seroquel kicks in if I remember to take it when I should. Then everything is leveled out again and I go to sleep.
Does anyone have a better way to handel it? I would like to eliminate the Seroquel but I can't until we find a replacement mood stableizer.
