Anxiety and depression at this point in my life stems from the knowledge that I am easily confused, have shortened memory and cannot find my way around any where with confidence except my home. Sadly, I can remember being the 'go to girl' most of my life and the organizational historian at my work. I really have to let go of what once was and be grateful for those experiences and look forward to problem solving the challenges presented to me as my skill sets change. I'm sure God still has a purpose for me on this earth or I would not be here. I guess what I'm saying is I am grateful for the past and all of the opportunities I had and look to the future for the surprises and challenges yet to come. Please don't think of my as someone who has risen to the occasion. I am a work in progress and better on some days than other with the reality of life.
I pray for all of you and wish you hope in all of your days to come.

PS: My brain fog worsens as the day progresses so I try to do all of the important things early in the day- lay out meds, pay bills, return phone calls, etc. And then of course there is my journal that has gotten me through some of my most difficult times.

A few months ago I was sent to a Neuro Opthamologist. He told me he has a daughter who is a neurologist in research. He further told that she has told him the things they’ve been learning about the brain are coming so fast and furious he can’t keep up. If they can. Open one door and following doors that fast it’s going to be less time to find that cure. And they have already found genes associated with PD; good news for us all.

Being a wife of someone with PD, I can definitely relate. My husband is more active when he sleeps than when awake. Guess that's why he needs naps all day 🙄 Just kidding 😂 I know thats a PD syymptom.Have a nice day 😊

Good Morning Teresa, so sorry you are feeling this way, I to feel somewhat confused or lost or even more forgetful. I try not to use PD for everything that i am feeling, i have to break it down. Is this PD or is this also due to me getting older. Whatever it is i do not like it but somehow we have to accept it. When you feel lost or confused, take a break and smell the flowers. Have a good weekend.

To all the above, I don’t feel less lost, but if we’re all lost together then at least we know we’re on the same virtual site. But I really wish there was a “can’t get lost” med and that it took away confusion, anxiety, fear, and the famous (infamous) brain fog.
Praying all of us have a good day.
❤️Teresa
