    I lost interest in tv along time ago. I think because I can't focus long enough.

    Hi

    Definitely it’s like people are talking a different language .at work I struggle to keep on top of things and strangely enough reversing my thought pattern is a if no no! I.e if someone asked to go back two stages i’d be totally stuck. 

    It’s like there’s s big hole in my vocabulary so i havdvtriedbto by pass this using smaller words but depending on which day it is could struggle with this also 🙃

    I'm currently working from home now but for thge last 2 years I had so mnany meetings at work and as I sat in them I would look around the table and envy those that were asking questions and truly interested in the meeting. I couldn't focus and felt disabled by it. Still struggling but now at home is a lil better. I cant follow conversations hardly.

    It's embarrassing. Sadly I didn't realize it was Meno and really beat myself up emotionally over it.

    The fact that we all can focus on ipads and phones looks like it is not meno really, but some type of ADD caused by those devices. I just thought of it.
