Do you experience short term memory loss?

Are oblivious? Sometimes I experience this for example I'll forget easily where I put my eyeglasses yet I'm not that old. Sometimes I still need reminders on my cellphone for the things I need to remember or need to do.

You might be too busy. It does that to me on an off . I don't always pay attention to what I'm doing. The best one of all I did I was looking for my glasses where they were and " I was wearing them already, it doesn't happen as often now, because I'm watching myself.

hi, yes, i experienced it sometimes,like i forget easily the things that i put somewhere and cant find it,and even the things that i need sometimes i forget to get it because of this oblivious attitude.maybe its not a sign of aging but there are times that we could have this short term memory.

Oh yes! Yesterday I had a problem with my atm because I forgot my pin number! And I just used it. Few days back! Its just a usual thing actually that sometimes it would happen that I forget something.

Although I wouldn't readily admit not remembering things, I do fess up on using my celphone to remind me about things that I could possible forget. Although for me, the act of writing down something, or making an entry on the celphone is good enough for me to remember. I usually remember the surroundings, where I was, or what I was thinking when I take note of something.

I would not call that short term memory loss, I would consider that maybe stressed and you just forgot. It happens to everyone at one time or another, it's not big deal.

I don't think i have a short term memory loss, but i know one of my college teacher who has it. He actually a talented designer who won lots of competitions. One time he forgot that he go to the mall with his wife so he go home leaving his wife on the mall. There's other time where he join a design competition in my campus and he become a finalist. When the day to do the presentation of the design for the finalist, he come to the campus and he saw the hall crowded with people, then he meet the college students who assist him on the project, he ask them "So.. what's going on here? Why there's so many people in the hall?" OMG those people waiting for him to give a presentation and he ask what's going on...

hello, I think you just lacking a presence of mind? Because this also happened to me if I have a lot of thing need to do. But I still manage it without any reminder. You should practice being alert in all things you do. alright? I know it will help you.

No, not really, but it happens every now and then. If you have this problem quite regularly, why do not see a doctor?
