Hey,
I have this weird problem with my memory. For instance, two minutes ago, I opened up this browser to do something. Then I took a bite of my food, and went back to the browser...and in that instant I forgot what I had opened it for!

This has been happening to me more and more lately...does anyone know a reason? I mean, I can probably tell you stuff that has happened YEARS ago as if it was just yesterday...but I can't remember t hat, by the end of a 40 minute class, I have to talk to the teacher.

I was wondering if it might be dietary problem, or something...or something more than that. I know my dad has ADD and/or something like it...and I do the same thing tha the does [eg-start talking and forget a word...]

All you need to do is change your byline from Drago to Dori and start singing "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."


Most likely it is nothing; if worried see a doctor.

Well it happens to me all the time too... though I think its just because I am so tired everyday. Your thoughts just drift. It happens to everyone. I definitly don't think you need to go to a doctor lol it's not like you're getting alzheimers already or something (actually this does sometimes, very very very rarley happen to young people but it's genetic so, yeah, don't worry )

So maybe... try to get more sleep?

memory is the most developable thing whenever i underline a chapter for religion i say to myself it's going to take an hour to memorize all this, but it turns out that i know all of them, i also program and memorize, i use technical books to increase your memory, also have at least 4 hours of sleep and get a cup of coffee or something with caffeine at recess or lunch

This is a funny post. You don't need to worry -- like most posters on CC, you probably have a million things on your mind. This happens to everyone, it happened to me today. I spilt my soda in Econ. Why? I forgot I was holding it.

It's just probably some stress...don't worry, you'll get over it...

Drago to Dori and start singing "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."

I've always had a good short term memory. As in very short. But I don't remember ANYTHING beyond two days ago. In fact, I forget what I did yesterday. Dude, what's wrong with me? My memory totally blows. So Drago, there's nothing wrong with you, ppl do that all the time. Sometimes when I'm done eating, I'll take my plates to the bathroom instead of the kitchen sink. And I'll wake from my trance, find myself in the bathroom, and I'll be like, whoa what am I doing here.

So yeah.

either stop smoking weed or get more sleep

By Enlightenment (Enlightenment) on Friday, December 19, 2003 - 12:09 am: Edit

I often forget things, and I mean VERY forgetful. I would come home from school and when someone asks me how was my day and what did I do, I wouldn't remember much at all. Or like.. an hour or so after I finish dinner I would ask "what's for dinner?". Just really stupid things like that.. sometimes lack of sleep is the cause of forgetfulne, which is why many people suggest that you go into a test with sufficient hours of sleep.

Enlightement, me too! my mom always asks me how my day went. I DONT KNOW> I CANT REMEMBER. I hate it. And she doesnt understand that. she thinks im being rude, but i honestly dont have the brainpower to retrace everything that happened
