Im bilingual so my kids have both English and another name in my native language. We only use my son’s English name regularly since he was born (2 years).
When I’m tired or under anxiety, I had 2 incidents where i cannot remember his native name (which I don’t use) instantly. It took me like at least a min to remember his native name. Weird thing is I never have issue forgetting his English name or anyone else’s name in the family.
It freaked me out because it happened twice. Is this a sign of dementia? I’m thinking of asking my doctor but I’m so scared of what would come. I usually forget things like my phone. However forgetting my kid’s native name twice in a span of 6 months scares the crap out of me. I’m trying to tell myself that because I don’t use it, my brain doesn’t associate it with my son. Instead it uses the English name instead. Then my other side tells me I have memory loss issue or early sign of dementia.
Then when I type on the phone daily, my finger would go too fast and type typos because it picks the letter next to the correct letter that I want, like I would type “y” instead of “u”. So I have to slow down my typing and look at the phone keyboard when I type to avoid this.
I’m only 41 years old
Can someone knowledgeable in memory loss give me some input. My physical checkup is in June and I will bring this up to my doctor.
Thanks
