I have noticed that my memory is not so good these days and I honestly do not know if it is due to my DID, Medical Problems, Medicine or just good Old Age starting... but I do know that I could not remember my daughters (R.I.P) middle name or how to spell it the other day and my husband was shocked / dumbfounded.... I on the other hand was horrified.

This is not the first time things like this has happened to me with in the last year. *sigh*

Just wanting (needing) to share with someone that can relate.

I get that way as well. Sometimes I am unable to remember things that I just said and sometimes I have hard time putting together parts of my reality. It gets very difficult to speak to people at times.

((((((((((((((Rhapsody)))))))))))) There are a myriad of things that can cause this. It might be helpful to go to a Dr just to make sure nothing else is going on. Please take care and keep us posted. Lost Memories / Names Lost Memories / Names Lost Memories / Names

Oh Man - does that ever happen to me and I hate it... some times I cannot even remember the simplest of words to use or how to spell them. *sigh*

I can relate to that Rhapsody. Thursday my daughter was upset with me because she called me at 8 am and wanted to go over how to approach her boss with info that she's job looking. Apparently I was rather sharp with her and impatient. That night I called Sarah and was talking to her when I noticed she was real quiet (not her normal way). I asked and she told me about our conversation of the morning. I HAD AND HAVE NO MEMORY OF THAT FIRST CONVERSATION. I vaguely remember getting the phone and nothing more.

It is really distressing to not remember things that others are clear on. I often watch a movie re-run and it is brand new to me even though my spouse says we watched it on DVD before.

I wish I had something consoling or helpful to say, but all I can say is you are not alone. It keeps happening to me also. My daughters handle it just fine, but my hubs is another story! =(

I have the same thing with names all of the time... it is a common thing for me... and.. it scares me...my own son's name... couldn't remember it..

the other day.... I was having a conversation.. with someone... that was new to me.. so I was on edge.. and I just could not remember his name....

so... you are not the only one... I try to not get upset... but.. it is hard...

for you.... Lost Memories / Names Lost Memories / Names Lost Memories / Names
