You poor sweetheart, my God, you need to see someone to help you along, nothing is that bad that you think of taking your own life. Please,please,please see someone and tell them. Do not go thru this on your own. Is there anyone that you can confide in? Are you on any medication? I am here if any time you need to talk. (((Hugs))

you might want to consult with another doctor ... they do brain scans to test for various forms of dementia. you are very young. it could be that you are experiencing a cognitive-impairment that is similar to dementia, but actually may be reversible if on the right course of treatment. As to feeling suicidal, I'm sure you're familiar with the Depression Board (they have a Crisis section) and the phone #s to call: 1-800-SUICIDE.

Unfortunately, this is a low attendance, slow moving board. If you don't understand what is happening to you, definitely time to seek out a Dr who can explain to you what is going on.

Take care of Yourself. ((Hugs))

Depression, potassium issues, medication interactions, stress, other organ failures can all imitate dementia. If you don't have a full workup, please get one done.
