Dementia

Moon

Just curious about this. 

I have recently been sent a bunch of emails about this with some guidelines on how to help myself. One of these was socialising. Given the choice between meeting and talking to people on a social level and being by myself and enjoying life. Guess which one I would chose. 

The 2 seem opposed to each other. I have 1 friend that I absolutely trust with my life and that really is all I need. I even have to have a break from her. But not sure it counts as socialising.

has anyone any thoughts on this

    Only because all this stuff came through and it mentioned about getting out and socialising. Not about dementia in particular. I have just spent a week away outside of asking for food 99% of the conversations were with my partner. Not sure if this is socialising or not. Is it just sitting in a busy place or do you have to talk as well. Is there a minimum amount. Then if you have to talk what do you talk about?
