my memory is getting worse... forgetting peoples names...
diagnosis...
medications names.. doctors names...
places... directions...
foods... lots of things...

i dont know what to make of it because i have always had a bad memory...
but i am going through a lot and am in a bad place right now because im going through things i dont want to go through anymore and am stressed but at a point of giving up...

im just wondering if my dissociation symptoms could cause my memory to slip like this or if its something more...

it makes me feel really bad when i am talking to someone that is part of the family that i havent spoken to for a couple of months and i am trying really hard to remember her name but cant and have to wait for someone to come in the room and call her by name, or when i am in the doctors office and they are asking me questions about my diagnosis or medications and i cant give them the information because i cant remember or when i am just trying to have a conversation about something general and have to give up because i cant recall and feel upset... all the while trying to hide it because its really messed up that i have such a hard time with my memory... i have to make jokes about my memory and laugh it off... people make jokes about my memory all the time too...

i dont know anyone that has so much problem with their memory as i do...
i dunno what to do about it... i've tried to tell the clinic but they dont understand how bad it is i think..
