Recently, my life feels like a blur, like I dont really remember what happened even in the past 2 weeks, and this has cause me some anxiety.
I just want to know if this is what everyone’s memory is like.
How much of your life do you remember, like do you only remember major events in your life, or do you remember like what you have been doing for the past 2 weeks.
What I mean is like, if someone asked you “So, what have you been last week”
You can come up with an answer like:
“So I watched [X] movie on Netflix on Monday, went to a nearby park on Tuesday, ate at [X] restaurant on Wednesday, found a new interesting Youtube Channel to watch on Thursday, petted a friendly neighborhood cat on Friday…” etc…
And like you can still remember what happened that week the following Monday.
Like obviously most people wouldn’t remember what they ate every meal, but like just one major event that happened each day.
I feel like I don’t remember shit. Not a single event.
I’d say… wait, what was the question?
Dude how did you forget. The question is…
wait…
hmm…

ecc can only help prevent (or fix) errors, what to do about lack of memory. that brings me back to, what was the question again
I have very few memories unless something triggers them. I was worried about this so some years ago I started writing down what I did that day, every day, in the hope I would train my memory to remember things.
I make a new text file each day with the date and have about 6 years’ worth of them.
In case you’re wondering, my memory didn’t get any better but at least I can look up what I did if I forget. No joke this comes in handy more than you’d think.
BTW my armchair diagnosis is that my lack of memory is probably ADHD related.
If you need someone to remember completely useless trivia like Pokémon type matchups and the years of video game releases, I’m your guy.
If you want me to remember what I ate yesterday, I couldn’t tell you. If you want me to remember what cities I visited on my trip to Europe two years ago, I’d literally have to look at my notes; the specifics of my autobiographical memory, even for major events, quickly dissolve into a blur of impressions and images.
Once my boss, looking for someone to blame for some infraction, asked me “Did you work yesterday?” I couldn’t recall what I’d done the day before, so I started to “umm” while I thought about the schedule and tried to remember if I’d already had my days off that week, but I couldn’t bring it to mind… so I had to admit that I didn’t know. My boss said, disbelieving, “You don’t remember if you worked yesterday!?” I said, “You know, the days all blur together…” and he just shook his head and walked off to bother someone else.
I’m probably wrong but:
Check your house for Carbon Monoxide.
Yea I got one. Nada. 0 PPM (or whatever the measurement unit is called) Its just depression.
I’m gonna get another carbon monixide detector to make sure. But its 99% the depression.
Sorry to hear that. Dancing like a complete spazz always helps me cheer up.
Every time I eat, I forget what I last shit. Every time I shit, I forget what I last ate. It’s a very simple system called FIFO (First In First Out). Very low memory requirements…
