Not sure where this goes, but I have always had a bad memory. As I get older, I remember less and less about my childhood, only bits and pieces. I have purposefully forgotten my entire experience of middle school because it was so terrible. I enjoyed high school and remember quite a bit, but around the time of my diagnosis my senior year is a bit fuzzy. There's actually a waitress at a Mexican restaurant who comes up to me all the time who clearly knows me and asks how I am, but I have no idea who she is or whether I know her from high school or college. Even with my best friend there are things I don't remember. She's always telling me, "Oh, remember that time we did this and you were doing that?" and I say, "No, I don't remember that."

I know this has a lot to do with my constant daydreaming. I've always had characters to keep me company, even now. I had a hard time socializing in school and only have one true best friend and a couple friends I see when I go camping, so I spend most of my time off in another world.

How can I get my memory back? Maybe not necessarily remember things in the past, but I'd like to learn how to be in the present and remember what's going on in my life.
