I've always been accused of having a bad memory, short term and long, but I'm generally pretty sharp.

Memories that were just there disappears to maybe pop up later, or I got do some internal talking to find them. Time and memories disappears. When I look back everything is dream like and fuzzy, just snapshots of events maybe, barely any "videos". The memories also don't feel like my memories. Sometimes it's like I'm a 3rd person watching myself doing something, not the actual doing.

My job I'm good at, but right now I know that I do work, but doing my job I can't picture it until I'm working and got to coax the process out.

It also it seems that I don't have much of a past.

I've no doubt that my meds have a little to do with some of it, but complete memory loss?

Sometimes I think my brain is melting. :'(

I can definitely relate to the snapshots rather than videos memory. I can know the details of a memory, but in terms of picturing it and playing it back as a video and connecting emotionally with it again... nope. I never even realised video memories were possible until it occurred to me to ask some friends about how they remembered stuff.

Ya. I assumed so because some memories are fragments of a moving pictures. It starts to move than freezes. It seems the predominance of my memory is a black veil that pictures fade in then out, never hanging out.

I just get the creepy feelng that this isn't normal as I watch everyone else recall in detail events as they talk on. Things I say are just what I consciously know, but then fades off. Even my wording comes forward out of the darkness, fading in and out like I'm just a speaker. If I focus on it, I can see the words fading in and out as I think/speak. :/

my memory is really bad, really bad.

i often joke about it saying that i have a memory like a peanut.

but it can deffenetly have it's dis advantages- 1 thing i find now is that i have to write things down (everything), just so i don't forget to do it

a couple of weeks ago, someone emailed me 1 of those tests for seniors- and i only got like 2 of the questions correctly

uggg!. and i should be a little better than that at my age

You bet on writing things down. I have 2 notebook apps on my iPad and reminders.
