I've long had memory problems, but I think my meds and the stresses of repeated bipolar episodes have made me dumber than a stump. Hell, I can forget what I'm doing when I'm actually doing it! I can't remember a magazine article two minutes after I've read it, phone numbers, conversations. IOW, my short-term memory is crap. I do much better with long-term memory---I can recall what I was doing and where I was doing it when Elvis Presley died, for example. But as far as what I ate for dinner last night or where I left my keys, I'm SOL.
