dementia or hypochondriasis

"today is the the first day of the rest of your life." - some witty person

i just realized that my forgetfulness may be a sign of dementia. demented and paranoid is a bad combination, me thinks. then again, i maybe over-reacting and that is just my hypochondriasis kicking in. lol

Glossary of Terms:
dementia: A mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of personality, confusion, disorientation, decreased intelligence, and difficulty controlling memory, judgment, and impulses
paranoia: Irrational distrust of others, delusions of persecution, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason
hypochondria: A disorder involving having a constant fear of illness and a preoccupation with one's health
