Why can I not remember things?


Recommended Posts

basically I have been getting angry alot recently, starting bar fights and driving off in a hump all the normal ******* things...

But I am having trouble remembering the middle of the anger I remember getting angry and why but I seem to not be able to remember alot from the situation when i got into a fight the other day I remember the anger...then I remember one or two flashes from the scuffle then I am at the bar?

or just an hour ago I got angry jumped on my motorcycle and remember moving off and small parts of the journey and that I got lost that is it.... I am trying to look this up but I cant find anything apart from blackouts but i wouldnt say its blacking out just impartial memory...

anyone got a degree in psychology ?? sadly they dont cover this kind of thing within animal studies lol

I hate blacking out like that...haven't done it in a few years, but it sucks when people are all like "don't you remember? You said/did/that/this/OMG", but you're all like "I did?" My anger takes me there sometimes too....I just simply try not to get that mad and think to myself....it's not worth getting that angry over. Sorry about that though, I know the feeling! (Y)

<snipped>

Too funny, bro! XD

its really annoying though and even more infuriating its kind of worrying my memory always has been really really good....this has happened twice in less then 48 hours

Do not take this the wrong way, but I think you absolutely need to see a professional.

Even if others admit to doing so as well, simply put, it is not normal behavior. In fact, it very well could be deadly behavior.

So need to talk to someone at the very least.

Something is doing this to your brain. The sooner you find out what it is, confront it, the sooner you can move on.

Leaving it "bottled up" so to speak, meaning thinking it will just correct itself on it's own, is not the path to take.

Good Luck.

i want to argue this point but I cant I know your right but I find it easier to talk to strangers on the internet then i do a professional... :/

And if you ever choose the foolish decision to get 'married', believe me, you will want to keep it how it is, so look at it as a 'gift' ;)

I like this troll I accept this :p

Lets hope it is not a tumor

cause thats not a depressive thought lol

Good! :)

I have yet to understand, in my long life anyway, as to why anyone would post on a board, or anywhere for that matter, **** to do with one's life? I can think of the obvious reason, yes, attention?, but apart from that, it escapes me?

Please enlighten me further.

I'm no psychiatrist by any means... at all. But is it only when you get angry?

Or have you recently quit drinking/drink often?

I only ask because I have drank for quite a long time, and recently quit drinking. I've been having similar blackouts, though, not triggered by anger or anything, but the alcohol detox process. I had to start taking DXM to combat the blackouts. Though mine only last from 10-15 seconds. I almost got my hand in a a saw the other day at work.

Basically, have you quit an vices/addictions recently, or going through a rough time? That would be my guess.

I would see a doctor of some sort. It could be very dangerous to let it continue.

because you dont know me I dont know you. you dont even know my first name.. you will probs never meet me and will most likly not bother me about it once I get some closure ... while everyone else would not stop leaving me alone and would probs bring it up or blame my actions on what ever this is ...

its just anger or so it seems im have no habbits and have had no habbits which involve regular intakes of narcotics :/ so it couldnt be that... when you got your black outs were you still functioning? or did you pass out or what? cause mine i still function (i guess or I would have crashed my motor bike)

i want to argue this point but I cant I know your right but I find it easier to talk to strangers on the internet then i do a professional... :/

A professional is definitely who you should be seeing if you think you have an issue. Will have my Psych degree in less than a year so I'm bias.

Still functioning, and can see. But motor skills go out briefly, and I blank. Then when it goes away, I continue doing whatever I was doing, without a hiccup. I am completely aware of what just happened, but not sure why I completely shutdown for a couple of seconds. After my doctor prescribed me the DXM it has stopped happening, so it was clearly due to the detoxing.

And after all that, your still annoying? lol :D ;)

So, probs, you have a prob, with probs? Is that what you are saying?

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
