Mix Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I'm having problems retaining things I just saw or heard just minutes ago....it's weird I'm not certain this is a thing and to be honest I don't really care if it is, but it's odd...I saw a lot of things possibly jamming me up, but this I didn't see coming...
Mewn Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I feel like you made a thread like this before. Time to wear the foil hat.
Mix Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 did I? or are you messing with me? I can't remember....you know it's not nice to toy with the possibly mentally impaired
André Toulon Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I think my short term is only shit when I'm trying to complete 2 thoughts at once.....Then I complete 1 and completely forget what the other was

My best friend has a terrible memory, we literally took off so he could buy socks one time and he forgot on the way to the store why we were going.

I usually have to watch something a few times to remember a line verbatim. I've watched Parks and Recs and How I met your Mother all the way through at least 10 times and there's still lines I didn't catch in previous viewings.
Raptorpat Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I'm having trouble recalling things too. I'm starting to suspect it's a coping mechanism, so many things come across my desk and require my attention that I just shut down and stopped trying to remember them all. The downside is the shutting down is across the board, so I keep getting yelled at at home for not remembering anything I'm supposed to be remembering. But that might just be because I don't listen.
Neko Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Shh, You're getting older. But not all people go through this. You just have been brain jacked by the fbi.

You also said earlier that you should try getting a regular sleep schedule, which if you aren't may be interfering with your memory. Play games that test your short term memory. Better yet, learn a new language. I find that learning Japanese kanji helps my memory skills. I'm always amazed how I can recall characters I rarely see.
