kombolcha Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 something is wrong with me. for some weeks now i forget what i was doing a few minutes ago, what i had just talked about, or why i'm infront of the fridge. a lot of times i'll be driving, and for example i'll be talking about how trees grow and i'll be interrupted by my cell going off, and one minuate later, i completely forget what i was talking about, i can recall every single detail up to the very begining of my last thoughts before i was interrupted. and other times, i'll be in the kitchen getting a drink and i'll say to myself, go to the laundry room and put the clothes in the dryer.. i'll walk to the laundry room, but forget why i'm there. i'll stand there for 2 mintues trying to figure out what the hell i'm doing there, i know i'm supposed to be there and do something, but i don't remember what. :wacko: i'll eventually remember what i had forgotten in a few minutes to an hour, i do this more and more every week. i don't do drugs.. my diet is the same, but i have stopped taking my vitamins. anyone ever been through this before? i hate it when it happens.

bennett Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 It happends to me aswell i hate it when i forget stuff. I think it is the drugs that do it. It get annoying when i forget because it is just the little things that mean big things like bob rang from the phone company he wants to talk to you can you ring him. Stuff like that it is stink :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomZ Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 According to my pyschology course this year, the short term memory only lasts about 18 seconds anyways. It is thought that rehearsel transfers the thought into the long term memory. So with things like the laundry situation, rehearsing it a couple of times in your head should sort that out. With the interuption thing, I really don't know. I guess it just means you have a VERY short, short term memory, as in only a couple of seconds. That's my 2 cents on this, and I think everyone forgets why they entered a room sometimes every now and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlogics Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 maybe it's just lack of concentration due the summer heats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUZLA+ Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Happens to me far too often,, mostly sleep deprivation.. & maybe the odd smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmate15 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I used to race motorbikes, I had quite a big accident where I hit my head very hard. For the next few months after that, my short term memory was very bad. I would tell someone something three times in a couple of minuets. I would forget things instantly. It did slowly get better but I never saw a doctor or anything about it. I still can't remember names (but I never could before) of people I meet and I still often forget small things such as where I left my keys and phone. I would say go and see someone about it. Can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzeh Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have a similar problem - I can remember peoples names and all but when i talk to people, especially my girlfriend, I occasionaly repeat things without realising. I think its just my mind doesnt keep track of whats being said, so i usually end up annoying people, and being called dumb heh. d'oh.. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba720027 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have the same short term memory problemo, sometimes i forget if i eat. And yea sometimes i go do somthing and i completely forget what i was about to do, then i would walk back where i was before and suddenly i would rember. I dont know but i think its something passed down in peoples genetics from the memory loss people way back generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noll3095 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Anything traumatic happen to you lately? Sounds like a very mild type of dissociative disorder. If it gets much worse you really should see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombolcha Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 if anything, i don't sleep 8 hours a day, but that shouldn't be a problem because i never sleep anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazG Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 My opinion is: you have lack of concentration due to not working your brain. The mind is like a muscle, you have to work it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
