My memory has definitely been affected by bipolar. I used to have a wonderful memory, but now it is so so so bad its almost unbelievable. I cant say for sure if it is the meds or the illness, my pdocs have never mentioned anything about dissociation so I dont think that is what is happening. But I am missing whole chuncks of my life, I couldnt tell you what the highlight of last year was because I cant remember last year and I was stable then. Its just in one ear and out the other most of the time.
