I have the same memory issues as Kelly08. I worry about my memory loss that I have but when I compare it to others it seems normal. I have taken to writing down everything in a small date book. It has several lines for the day and a blank across from the numbered pages.
I also have memory problems I journal!
I can recall the past in great details at times and then other times I have years of blanks even when my siblings try to remind me of certain significant parties milestones etc... it really just fluctuates and its really strange it even used to scare me so I try to stay focused in the present moment. I even forget my self memos! My calender on the phone helps me to remember important upcoming dates as it has an alarm so that is super helpful. But really I just try not to worry too much about memories anymore.
Amen. Absolutely
i've had memory problems since i was 13 due to a tornado. i lost most of my childhood memories...
i now have pen and paper everywhere i sit or stand and in my bag....and as long as i don't lose those notes i'm okay for the most part. lately i can't even seem to take 2 damn steps away and forget what i was gonna do. i also tell hubby things that are "important" but-with him i have a problem of him paying enough attention to me to HEAR/LISTEN to me- esp if the tv is on :S.
