Hi Findingmyway,
Wow, that must have been scary to find out you took an exam you didn't remember taking, and other things like that! How have you learned to cope with your day to day memory problems? Any tips you could share?

i had a weird situation in high school where i had to write an exam. i think it was a science exam. i cannot remember if i was in a different room than the one i was in for science and that was what messed me up or what, but i had zero recollection at that moment of even having taken science or what the exam was. somehow, i passed it though...i also had issues where i don't remember being good at school, yet i made the honor roll twice, and i managed to graduate. it still is weird to me years later because i barely remember being there or doing things.
but time and memory and all that are just confusing for me..
