Besides memory holes from repressing memories (If I wake up nauseous after a nightmare and I skip breakfast because of that, I'll surpress that (because doing otherwise would mean acknowledging the nightmare) and am not able to remember whether or not I had breakfast) I also have a real problem remembering stuff I do, say, see, think, hear or plan.. I had a second opinion last week and I spent half the session asking "Sorry, what did you ask?" or "What was I talking about again?" because I forgot - usually while I was talking, even.
I figure it's because my memory is depressed/depression causes lack of focus and thus lack of remembrance/something like that.

Does anyone recognize this? How do you cope? Writing everything down isn't practical.
