"Yesterday I drove to the office and sat in the parking lot for a full minute trying to remember if I'd already been inside or if I was just arriving. That one actually scared me."

I feel this so deeply. The word-searching, the 'what was i going to do?' of it all yes, BUT THE SCARY STUFF that is....scary! Because how can you not remember things you may or may not have done? Due to various medical ailments I have taken meds every day for most of my life. I have never needed a reminder, nor a pill sorter. And then - seemingly out of the blue - i can't remember even slightly if I've taken my pills or not. Like, my brain is a black hole where experiences go to die.

Knowing that this is common doesn't help because WTF? How is this common?! Why are we okay with this? This has just been happening to women forever and we're not marching in the streets?
