An "all-knowing" scanner might fix the problem!
Friday, January 8, 2010
Ever since watching The Notebook, I always have fears of becoming old and getting Amnesia (or being young and having Amnesia). I think I'm somewhat of a paranoid person when it comes to having diseases, disorders, etc., but lately I have been really thinking about the "what-ifs." I don't know if this is all in my mind, but I feel like I can't remember certain events so well. Once someone says, "Remember when we went to this place or that place. . . " I can remember the event, but I am not able to readily recall the event prior to the cue. It sounds really silly, but I often ask myself, is this a predeterminer that I am more at risk for Amnesia?
All of this might be me just being paranoid. I guess my forgetfulness might be due to several factors: me and Josh just do too much, I don't enjoy life while it's happening, I just don't care. I am very good at remembering specific information, but thinking back to very broad things is hard(er). I don't know, maybe me even writing about this is portraying that I have a real, legitimate fear of me having Amnesia or something, but it's just a concern for the future. Am I the only one that thinks this way? I wish there was this "all-knowing" scanner that could scan my whole body, brain, everything, and check for diseases or potential problems. I would seriously save and pay a couple thousand dollars if it were dependable. I would want it to scan the biggest problems, like cancer or Amnesia, to the most minute problems like possible fungal infections (which I don't have!) or allergies. No, I am not a hypochondriac, but I let my mind wander and my fears get the worst of me. Please, tell me I'm not in this boat on my own! :-]
