i can totally relate with the frustrations involved with memory loss. my memory was always been a challenge even way back in the day when i was in school. however for myself my memory really is beyond challenge because of the numerous electric shock treatments i received. there is said to be a rehab for the memory loss associated with ECT, and my therapist told me about, told me she was going to look into it for me, but i haven't heard back from her about it. we're going on about four weeks now since she told me about it too.

i've recently been offered to do a training to become a peer support specialist. i cannot even tell you how excited i am about even being offered to do this. i am terribly afraid that my memory is going to be too much of an issue to retain the info from this training. if i'm accepted to do this training (i'll find out soon) then i will go for it. i have to. this is a perfect fit for me as i so dearly love to try to help and encourage others with mental illness, and hopefully i'll get through it.

i'd like to encourage to do as the others have suggested and look into any resources your doctor or therapist may be aware of to help. best wishes and take care
