I certainly agree with you. I have been told by so many people, as well as doctors, to “do my research” , For whatever reason. Why am I doing my research? And then when I find something and show it to him, it makes him angry because he thinks that that I have no faith in him. Well that being said, I have SLE as well as Hashimoto’s. I haven’t had my medicine in a few days (maybe 4 days) because I didn’t realize I was out until I was out. So I decided I would go off on my own and purchase a car. I have been virtually stranded for close to one year because of badly injured left Ankle and a recently broken kneecap. What a mistake. Had I have waited and listened to my instinct I would’ve gotten two offers that day because when I got home, I got the phone calls. And it really wasn’t a pleasant experience. (Is it ever?) With cars. I couldn’t see because I am light sensitive and also when I’m inside the house I go from a lit room to a dark room. I’m temporarily blind. I had been there for some time, was doing all right, waited till I woke up from a nap and went out to look at the car with a flashlight. That’s when I saw the flaws, etc.

I was suddenly A raving lunatic. I had turned into my mom! Not that that’s so bad, but I’m wondering if it was because of the Hashimoto’s plus the SLE and the stress of getting the car, could have caused such a reaction. The next day, I was absolutely horrible To everybody at the dealership. That isn’t me. But it was that day.

I just wondered whether anyone else has had a collision like that, or if it was a collision. I do know I was tired, stressed. I didn’t even want to look at the car until after I woke up, that’s when I discovered this 2024 car supposedly brand new, had 30,000 miles on it, and it looks like something happened to it that someone tried to repair it. The doors don’t lineup. The hood seems like it’s been leaned on so it doesn’t line up. And the doors you can tell have been leaned on. So anyway, I called the next day and apologize profusely, but to no avail, oh well. So tomorrow I plan on taking my car in to have it detailed. However, I saw a lot of what looked like the seams in the go around the window like they just didn’t match on window. I could get a screwdriver in with the door shut and the other one. The windshield needs replacing. Now, no, I didn’t notice it. I’m sorry to bother you with that whole ordeal. I just wanted to know really is how do I explain this? It really is not me, but it has happened before and I don’t understand why.

Does anybody else have issues like this? I wasn’t sure which group I wanted to be in with this so I picked this one. Now I am 78 and probably should’ve taken someone but it seemed like it would be so easy. I learned my lesson, but the wild mood swing Anybody else ever have that? I’d like to know thank you.

sharing,
Well, it sounds like the car you bought was in an accident. If that wasn't disclosed you may be have a fraud claim, https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/how-can-i-get-a-free-vin-check#:~:text=To%20verify%20a%20VIN%2C%20enter,car's%20documents%20to%20ensure%20accuracy and there may be other things wrong with the car.
This could be considered financial elder abuse.
You probably should be mad. But, three days without meds might could explain everything except the times that it happened before.
I can see why you could make a mistake with your vision and the eagerness to have transportation. Being mad makes more sense than not being mad.
I don't see a case for cognitive decline.

You might try talking to the owner of the business, I wouldn't go alone but would find a younger friend or relative (dare I say male).
