I believe is far too soon for you to be thinking in terms of either a dementing illness or "becoming stupid."as we age there is a certain amount of Monday and forgetfulness that occurs and is considered within normal limits. If it begins to interfere appreciably with function either at home or at work that is when a law's should be going off. I think you are recognizing the fact that you may have a little forgetfulness but then possibly you are focusing even more so on that fact and becoming worried therefore, I think you should speak to your doctor about this and see what their opinion may be as well.
