Bad memory?

[Cheljayne]

I've noticed my memory has become terrible losing things I had in my hands only minutes before. Not being able to remember a conversation which happened only half an hour ago and knowing full well that I was listening and paying attention. But also with names and faces I know the face but I'm having trouble remembering the persons name or getting it wrong completely.....


Does or has any body else noticed this about themselves!?

I am like that hun all the time.

[shine]

sometimes. i forget what Ive done sometimes, but i'm keeping an activity diary which monitors my mood so that helps me to remember

[Cheljayne]

Im finding that too. I'll go to do something and it's done but I honestly don't remember doing it. Which some times is amazing because motivation is a big problem for me lately.

I think it's part of the depression hun,sometimes we just go into autopilot.(bear)

[Cheljayne]

I'm running late for work now because I forgot where I put my key fob! Grr... Thanks veggie

[Jarre]

Yup I forgot many things can be quiet worrying sometimes hence why I have to put reminders on my computer or phone.

[Diablo]

I've forgotten what it was like, to have a good memory.
(and I'd forgotton how to spell forgotten as well!)

Like Jarre I save all sorts of memos on my PC.
I forget where to put things in the kitchen - like put the coffee in the fridge!
I put things in safe places, never to be found again.
And I can never remember where I put my specs down.

I used to have an incredible memory :( Nowadays I remember stuff from fifteen years ago great, from fifteen minutes ago not so much!

Im always like it call it baby brain as can get away with it lol

[Cheljayne]

I've started using sticky notes for important stuff, I'll do a to do list and lose it! Lol I like that Sarah. This is the first time my memory has suffered tho thank u all for ur replies. Glad to know it's not me losing my marbles x

I don't know where I put my car key. Not seen it since Sunday. I'm having to use the spare which is a manual key.

For anyone who needs lists of things to do on your computer then I've been using this designed and owned by our very own Watson ;)

It's a free to use, but you can pay for it where you then don't get ads...

It's really simple and easy and I've been using it for ages and love it!

[Angie]

Have just bookmarked that

[Aspasia]

OOoh that's nifty. I normally just use the virtual post-its on my laptop.

[Cheljayne]

Have started using it. I love it so simple x

[Suzi]

Glad we could help by showing you ;)

[Cheljayne]

It has helped, I now have a simple to do list I can't lose! And even share when the other half offers :P

[Suzi]

Brilliant!

[redsky]

my memory used to be great... now i cant even remember what i had for breakfast. :(

[Cheljayne]

I have done lately mine seems to be suffering more lately....... I couldn't even remember a conversation I had had walking from my living room upstairs!!!, it's really terrible.

[Suzi]

Have you mentioned it to the dr?

[Cheljayne]

Ye he has basically said that it's due to me being distracted all the time.... Slightly confused with that answer to be honest

[Suzi]

Have you thought about asking him what he meant?

[Fay]

My memory is dreadful - my husband gets so frustrated with me!!

When as work (a stressful job where I need to remember a lot of info. different people give me) I can remember a lot of important information, and I keep a notebook to create my "To lists" each day. But as soon as I get home, I will have a conversation with my husband and remember nothing of it 5 minutes later ..... I think my brain just shuts down .. my poor hubby ......

I've noticed this too. Sometimes I can be looking at someone whos talking to me and all i can see is their mouth moving - no sound coming out or when it does it's all jumbled up.

[knowlesy]

All that completely rings a bell (-well it would if I rememered where I put it:s)
Esp. coffee in fridge & putting things in safe places & forgetting where I put them or going in a room & saying to myself "why Im I in here?" Then asking myself "why are you asking you?, you dont know!" :(

[amaeru]

Ah, putting things in safe places - bane of my existence. When will I ever learn?
I have a terrible memory. Once locked myself out of my house three times in the same day!!! (nod)(giggle):(

[CeeCee]

Glad it's not just me (blush) I honestly thought I was going doolally. And mine is exactly like Fay's - I'm known for being able to remember loads of phone numbers, passwords, technical procedures and the like, but I can't most of the conversations I have at home :s

[amaeru]

(giggle)

I'm rubbish at remembering conversations.
I'm completely in awe of people who can give blow by blow accounts of long conversations they've had. Heck, I can't even remember what I've said half way through a sentence sometimes. Attention span of a goldfish.(blush)
