Thanks Pfinstegg. :)

I wish I could say it was only in therapy. Because I agree with you about therapy being completely different from anywhere else. I'm a completely different person there, with a difficulty in communication that accompanies the regression that seems to come with that unique combination of emotional intensity and safety.

But unfortunately it's at work and home too. :) My husband makes me face him when he says something and repeat it back to him. And I still forget in the time it takes to turn around.

But I do wonder sometimes. Maybe my brain atrophy is at least partly because I'm not exercising it. Maybe if I do something like go back to school, I'll be my old self again. Maybe my current thickness of mind has to do with the fact that I really don't like doing what I'm doing. Maybe....

I used to love learning. I used to love school. I loved stretching my brain around new concepts. I loved arguing points with the nicer professors. I hate to admit it, but I liked being smart. I would be so happy to have my brain darting about like a hummingbird instead of slogging through quicksand.

But my husband has a point when he says that self actualization is way down on the list of priorities when I've got a wonderful son to raise.
