I don't think you know what that word means. Gaslighting requires intention

@SW-User yes, but its become so common bc of my memory issue i actively aim toward the inconceivable. Is that gaslighting?

@jehova No. But you may want to talk to your doctor if you're having significant issues with communication due to your memory issues. Best wishes and thanks for bc :)

@SW-User i am talking to my doctors about it a psychologist mostly. Unfortunately the doctors a gp and a neuro guy that committed the negligence that got me here are the only such doctors (def considered the best) in my area . Is the 'best' in the area so conflict of interests is a real concern. I try to have fun with it though.

@jehova That is unfortunate... yet, fortunately, you have fun, yay! 😅
