Memory Gap

Stress can also be a big factor in memory loss. It worries me more than normal. My mother has Alzheimer's. I worry that one day I could be walking in her shoes.

i think it happens to all of us. it's just a bit worse for some. i started young when it comes to forgetting things and it made me an organized person.

I have a memory like a sieve much of the time.

I can still remember long term, it is the short term I am beginning to struggle with now. You know where you go into a room for something and then can't remember what? I totally hate that feeling.

What's your name? Give me an answer now! lol Just sleep tight. Only carabaos grow old.

Aging: its the reality that we can't avoid.Goes with it is forgetfulness or memory gap. Some causes of it are stress, anxiety and depression. I am also experiencing that now.

I am always a forgetful person, it doesn't matter what my age is. But I realize that if I pay more attention and stay focus, I will be able to remember and not forget easily. Sometimes I guess we might be just too busy with our life and many things to do, so we tend not to focus and hence we easily forget.

i have had what I call senior moments where I forgot something only to remember it an hour later at least I do not have dementia of Alzheimer disease so Im very grateful for that.

I'm 39 and I still have a great memory. I don't know how things will evolve during the next decades, but just like you said, when I start experiencing memory losses I hope that my mind will keep mostly good memories. I think that a general positive attitude in life might be helpful in this regard, but of course only time will tell if this is what will happen to me.

I think that's one of the secondary reason why I'm eating more vegetables now so that I can improve my memories. At my age of 32 can't you believe that I can be forgetful sometimes.

Advance Happy Birthday po! Me I am always forgetting things at the young age of 30. Why? because I want to :) Things that do not deserved a space on my head is gone within 5 seconds. hehe

I have few now ;( aging

Not for me yet. I am 35 years old and I am not forgetful.

I have always had some memory gaps, and I'm not sure if it's getting worse or just that I notice them more!

I'm 65 and have 'brain farts' occasionally @Macarrosel but at 51 (almost 52), there could be another issue for you. Not to scare you but does Dementia or Alzheimer's run in the family? If not, it could be you are just lacking in certain vitamins that feed the brain energy, like: B6, B12, ginkgo biloba, omega -3 fatty acids and herbal supplements. Another thing to do is do cross-word puzzles or any kind of 'brain' game.

You are still quite young in the grand scheme of things. I think it is quite normal for our memory to slow down the older we get. I often forget the names of actors and books that I've read.

What was the question???: LOL yea happens to the best of us I am almost 58 so I do know what you mean.
