Grandma wakes me up at around 3:30 to boil water on the stove for her "visitors" She says that she has to do it, otherwise they'd get mad at her. She literally tells me that she can't sleep because they keep bothering her. Honestly, it's terrifying.

i wouldnt remember all that why would they ask a dementia patient to

My grandpa had dementia and he would describe it as “being lost in his own home” and it was sad to see a man who could hold the world in the palm of his hand suffer with a disease so frightening.

I don't have dementia and i didn't remember that lol

I think the first "walk of dementia" was the best made.

Also I think that people with dementia are more ... you know, I think she would have said: "of COURSE I know who that is, I am not stupid!" when her daughter asked her in the beginning.

At least the people with dementia I know and knew, spoke most of the time more agressivly, like: "how can you dare to think I dont know everything?" Which of course is very understandable but also is very tiring since you yourself know that she is quite wrong.

Hang on... You mean, this isn't normal? I have troubles with short term memory in particular and losing track of fairly prominent items on a daily basis. I'm only 23, but I've been having sensory and memory issue for almost a decade now. I thought it was just teenage hormones screwing with me, but I'm comfortably into adulthood now. What could it be?

Jeez I remember when I was about 13 on one of our visits, my mum left me with grandmother for a few minutes while she ran some errands. My grandmother then put on the kettle, and made us both tea...except the tea had no tea or hot water. Just milk with sugar in a mug. I didn't really know what to do, but feign normality in order not to upset her, like I usually did.

Why can I not remember the sugar and milk too. Do I have dementia?

[FrogSpatula]

Get that voice actress a billion awards, jesus this was maddening

[bodemolnar]

I went on and the comment section looks different, why?

[burgerandchick]

Wait a minute every word i type looks different to me. I always say why does it look like that? Is it spelled right? I don't know anymore.

[AndrooUK]

I couldn't remember it by the second cup.
Totally dumb video. It only makes sense if we can identify with the mother, and I don't think I know anyone who would remember that tea order.

Dementia allows you to watch virtual reality all day long

[kayerk]

Horrible family treating her like that

[SavvaOsipov]

Anyone else worried they couldn’t remember all the milk and tea combinations

Pov you're a teacher in 2021 a week into school

[dorklymorkly]

How can dementia patients tell the stories if they're this dysfunctional?

[barbaraferdinand]

I pray that nature keep on answering to your callings as you have cured my herpes virus  with natural supplements Dr Madida. I am so happy for being well again.
