I myself can't remember to feed myself, or what I've heard, but remember exactly what I read if it's in 'mirror writing', and around 92% when written normally - improves when moving around while reading as I am a kinaesthetic learner. I remember images perfectly but without colour, and I remember the individual digits in long numbers but cannot recall the order they go in. My memory works backwards, hence the mirror writing, but am also capable of speed reading (over 2000wpm) with text reversed in this way and often start from the bottom of the page which helps me to recall it in the intended order.
My episodic memory is abysmal, but I can remember unrelated things fine. I'm great at memory storage with regards to factual information.

Interesting! Thank you for answering so thoroughly.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
