As i get older i forget alot of people i used to know an hang around with, even old boyfriends, although i'm married now for 18 years, and a persons face will flash in my head and i'll try so hard to remember who the person was, and later in the day i'll remember their name. I think we have info in our minds that as we gain more and more as we get older, we forget things because there is no room in the brain to keep all the old stuff and filter out the past and add new info, while maybe that is why we forget things as our brains can only hold so much info, especially if you have a mental illness. That is just my take on this issue, i'm no doc or t but that is just what i came up with.
