I was diagnosed with MCI two years ago now I'm diagnosed with early onset dementia. Mostly I'm scared for the future. Your dealing with it pretty well. I haven't shared my diagnosis with anyone. I'm sorry we are both in this situation.

Welcome to the message board to the both of you. I'm sorry your both here, but glad that you found us.
The emotions your feeling are all normal. Have you reached out to your local ALZ Chapters to see if they offer any support groups.
Personally, do not worry about the future. Much easier said than do, I know. If you have dementia / ALZ or not, your worrying only upsets you. And that's not good for you. That sounds cold, and I'm certainly not trying to be, but if you worry about the future, you forget to enjoy the here and now.
Please do look at the other threads. There you will see more discussion than this one is getting and you'll be able to gain information.
