What’s It Like To Have Alzheimer’s?
This is an excellent question, and one I’ve considered often in the last decade-plus of working with such folks.
First, it depends upon the stage of dementia: mild, moderate, or severe.
In mild dementia, it seems to be like being a functional alcoholic’s day, as far as cognition goes. You’re able to do what you need to do, but some little things get missed, such as your T-shirt is on backward, but you don’t notice, or you can’t find the sugar bowl, so you start taking apart cupboards and end up going without coffee and the kitchen is a mess.

Artist Jules-Claude Ziegler’s 1847 masterpiece plunges us into the aftermath of Judith’s audacious act, the air thick with victory and horror. Judith emerges from the Assyrian camp, clutching a severed head – not just any head, but that of the fearsome general Holofernes, Bethulia’s tormentor.
Unburdening the Savior Complex: Why Your Needs Matter Too
Let’s dispel a dangerous myth: your job is not to fix everyone else’s problems before taking a breath for your own. This pervasive “savior complex” burdens us with an impossible task and diminishes our right to self-care. It whispers insidiously, “Their needs before yours,” until our own well-being becomes a whispered afterthought.

The Unruly Legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson’s Penis, “Jumbo”
Lyndon B. Johnson, the Texan titan who bestrode American politics like a colossus, wasn’t just a master of deal-making and arm-twisting. He was also a virtuoso of the grotesque, a man who wielded his larger-than-life persona and even his anatomy as instruments of power. And no body part played a more outlandish role than “Jumbo,” his self-bestowed nickname for his, shall we say, prominent appendage.
