I can hear you talking, and catching words here and there, but remembering them all and stringing them back together in a way that means something to me is difficult, especially if I’m tired. Learning a computer system at a job I just started has been challenging. It’s an easy system to use and learn, but what I need is the slow “this is what we’re going to do and why, and this is the way it can be done. Next we’ll learn a shortcut.” I am being trained on the shortcuts first, and am really slow on the whats and whys. Everything is so fast and it bugs me to no end that I’m asking the same question over and over, because I missed it the first time.

Do you think it’s concentration that’s the problem or is it something else?

I also have this problem with listening and getting the details right.

Sally how sad, you must feel betrayed and I can understand why you are suspicious of others now. It’s awful the way some people will take advantage of someone else’s misfortune. Not everyone is against you and I hope you get the right support. I know this is a lot to go through, but you’ll be stronger when you reach the other side. Good luck.

I reached out for help, I over shared my medical conditions. Instead of help, I get set up for a crime. I know I didn’t do this crime, but no one seems to listen. My supporting evidence ‘disappeared’ ..how sad is that that an extended family, with cops in their line would do such things to a person with disabilities..
My lawyer tells me I must plead out (twist my arm, and force me is what it all amounts to…its always about people wanting money, and property, other have…I am so stress out and out of the loop, I prepaid the lawyer, yet get the feeling he is working against me, instead of with me… I tell him I have many brain injuries, yet he thinks I have mental disorders….well maybe now after all this stress, I do.. but I was handling things ok until this person ‘offered to “help Me” ‘

Thanks Sue, so simple but gets the point across. Why didn’t I think of that? I’m definitely going to try that, thanks so much.

For people who know me and doctors etc . ” stop, I didn’t hear anything of what you just said, can you please tell me the facts or important bits again” usually followed by “so what do I need to Do?” Which makes people repeat the most important sentence in all those words.
