How is your memory?

I'm going to turn 23 years old at the end of this month and I think I have an awful memory for being so young. I'm EXTREMELY forgetful. I think my memory got worst after I had my son. I must have a lot on my mind because it seems like i'm always forgetting.

Some everyday causes of forgetfulness may include: Tiredness - see also causes of tiredness Concentration problems - see also causes of concentration difficulty Pregnancy - some level of forgetfulness is common in pregnant women. New mother - adjusting to a new baby also commonly leads to forgetfulness (such as from tiredness).

Yes I have short memory. I'll be 31 years old however I started to have short term memory since I was 25 years old. I am now too scare that I will lose more memory as I get older. I also always forgotten to do something, I used to remember what to do when I was younger but things forgotten quite easily right now. I have already taken treatment, I drink a tablet of ginkgo biloba to improve memory.

We are at the same age. Sometimes i do forget some things that i needed to do. But maybe not that much. I make notes also to make sure that nothing is forgotten. When i went back to school (there were lots of things to memorize), i took vitamin B12. I actually did good in memorizing the lessons. I am not sure though if it is because of the pill or purely psychological. Try taking, vitamin B12. It was actually my sister (a student) who told me about that vitamins. She said it has good effects on her memory.

I'm only 25 & i am very similar - i have had this memory thing since an accident when i was 16 so i've had it for the past 9 years. I haven't found anything that helps with remembering but writing the notes is easy enough & i guess if they help then stick with them. I haven't found anything that helps with getting your memory back so if you find something, give me a yell :) I'd continue with the post it notes, they're just a lot easier!

I don't suffer from that. That might be a serious problem, forgeting such minor things! Imagine if you have to do something important, then! Well, my advice is that you go look for a doctor. I'm pretty sure he'll help you, and a lot. He might tell you what is your problem, and give you something to heal it.

Try to concentrate and do Yoga's.. You will gain your memory..

i am grateful to God that i have quite a good memory... i can remember my daily routines quite well and i always pray to God to give me health and pour His blessings to me every single day... my hubby has the same problem like you... he has a short term memory and forget things very easily... i try to give him Ginkgo Biloba to help in pumping the blood to his brain so that he can remember things better and it is working quite well with him... so you might want to try that...

I think i have some memory problems since i gave birth to my little princess almost two years ago. I had some kind of memory gap lol.Yeah, but yet its not that delicate. As you know, i have a over all anethesia and they say that memory loss is one of its causes.But yet, im still thankful that my baby is fine and also me.

everybody says its amazing. believe me i am not joking. I generally remember many events with date also. i can remeber my trip to a beach at age of 2. I am like that only. In day to day life my parents take my help when they need to verify something.

I guess it is that way with some people. Thank God, you remembered to post this problem at myLot. Did you try recalling things? It helps at times but you need lot of patience with it. It is like this: you forget something, say mane of someone you just happen to see. If such a thing happens, just try to recall his/ her name. Just keep on trying without getting anxious, angry, or frustrated. Keep on trying and sometimes you would be able to recall the name. Feel happy about the fact that you could recall the name. Try this kind of thing and see if it helps. but do not expect to improve your memory overnight.

I am 32 also and I had a really good answer for you but i forgot what i was going to say, infact who are you? Who am I ? Where am I? lol

I give you an advice that will prove out to be penacea to you.Trust my words and that's how its very simple trick........... Do deepbreathing early in the morning in greenry.Do it relexingly keeping your worries away.Oxygenated blood supply to the blood vessels of brain make brain cells and tissues work to their fullest efficiency.Do as much as your body allows and gradually increase the duration .One is bound to receive fantastic results.

I too often find myself losing my memory..im only 24 but my mind is sometimes on another planet so to speak. The other I was makin ice tea and I went to put the pitcher in the refrigerator but I ended up trying to put it in the cabinet. It took me acouple seconds to realize what I was doing. It was funny but what was I thinkin?? My whole mind was gone for acouple seconds but when i did realize what i had did..I laughed because I was thinkin what if my boyfriend found a whole pitcher of fresh ice tea in the cabinet..he would definitly tease me. LOL

well im 45 now and have absolutely no problem remembering events from my early childhood. However, i have real problems when it comes to short term stuff. Psychologists have me believe that as we age our brain needs to be excersised like any other muscle. If we dont do this we lose our mental aqumen and may well suffer from short term memmory problems blessed be

I forgot what I wanted to say!LOL I used to have an exceptional short term memory. I was a phone book to some of my friends. They would call me to get someones number, because I always remembered them. Now though, I have a lot of trouble remembering things. I remember things if they are old memories better than the newer ones. Walking into a room and forgetting why is the worst, but forgetting how much money I loaned to someone can really create a problem.

I am 34 and my memory is terrible. I am the post it note queen. When I had my own office before I got married, I had notes all over my desk to remind me of things. I had a little notebook by the phone to write things down so I didn't forget what was said during the conversation so I wouldn't forget what was requested of me. I am very bad about my memory!

What was the question again? lol. Seriously, I am a major space case sometimes. I can remember the important things enough. Little things escape me easily though. If you send me to the store, give me a list or your likely to get anything. I think alot of it has not to do with our chronological age but that as we get older, we are involved in more and have more to remember. So we tend to get selective and our brains involuntarily prioritize things. Like a doctors apointment comes much higher on the list than the last minute grocery item on a list. What was the question again? oh yeh, anyway. So those are my thoughts. Merry christmas!

I'm also 32 and my memory is not great either. I will remember odd, little things, but I occasionally forget if I ate, or took medication, or other important facts. I make a lot of lists to help me remember things. Grocery or shopping lists for when I go to the store, to make sure I don't forget what I need. Lists of what I need to do on a certain day. Lists of what I need to pack before trips. Lists are probably the best way for me to get around my bad memory.

We are at the same age. Sometimes i do forget some things that i needed to do. But maybe not that much. I make notes also to make sure that nothing is forgotten. When i went back to school (there were lots of things to memorize), i took vitamin B12. I actually did good in memorizing the lessons.
