The word was RIGHT THERE. I could see the shape of it. My manager was looking at me, the whole room was waiting, and I just said "the... document thing" and moved on like that was normal. I'm 51. I've been doing this job for twelve years. I keep telling myself it's tiredness. Or stress. Or just having a lot on. But honestly it's been months of this and I'm starting to feel like a different, slower version of myself at work. I used to be the one who had the answer before the question was finished. Now I'm secretly terrified someone's going to notice. I've been trying to eat something decent around 3pm because I noticed the worst fog hits me mid-afternoon and I'd been running on nothing since lunch. Not sure if it's doing much but it feels better than just suffering through it. And I've been going to bed at the same time every night this week which I haven't done since my kids were small. I want to go to my GP but I don't quite know how to explain it without sounding vague. "I forgot a word in a meeting" doesn't feel like enough. Does anyone else keep a note of these moments? Like actual examples to show someone? I feel like I need evidence before I'm taken seriously.
