Anyone else forget a lot?
 

Am a healthy 50 yo, no drink or smoke and had something strange happen the other day, Grabbed the TV remote to jump back the the last channel I was watching and had no clue what button to push, total blank, I had to ask the wife what bottom it was, then she started laughing at me. Now today I had to stop at my parents house on my way home to pick up something, its just one different road on my way home, I drive down their road, look at their house and head right home, after I realized I forgot to stop I went back.

So what the heck is going on, just too much on my mind maybe? I always forget where I put things but never worried too much about that stuff.

What was the question again?

Have you been sleeping enough? That happens to me when I get less than...Have you been sleeping enough?

I'm 30, and I've been experiencing that for as long as I can remember. ;)

In my case, I've always felt that my brain is doing so much multitasking that it sometimes "leaps ahead". For example, in the middle of Task A, I start Task B, then when I realize I was in the middle of Task A, I forget where I put the tool to complete the job.

More and more as each day goes by.

Good, sounds normal, Freud will be happy, but the Wife laughing at me was not nice!!

Just think... you're now stoked to be quick with the laugh when this happens to her, right?



If you can remember. :eek: :D









Quick... this is just a test... without looking, quote your sig line. :cool:

I wish I could forget what I remember and remember what I forgot

I wish I could forget what I remember and remember what I forgot

My trend is to forget everything that I can store in a computer. And everything that is not either important or interesting.

Craig, no cause for alarm, we all blank. But, you might consider a medical check up if you haven't been in awhile. Mini strokes make for the same symptoms. That having been said, a LOT of medications can do this as well.

You should watch the movie "Memento"...

Sometimes I change rooms to do something but when I get to the room I can`t remember why I went there. I found that if go back to the previous place, the memory comes back too as it was associated with the first place. This has led me to believe that thoughts have a life on their own, and can become separated from us.

What were we talking about?

I forgot, oh wait? I don't remember posting this! Someone got my password? Crap, wait a minute, nope, still don't remember.

Huh? Hey...What?

When I read this I thought that someone was following me around. You know like one of those reality shows.

Recently, I was diagnosed with AAADD: Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:


I decided to work on my Porsche. As I started toward the garage, I spotted
the mail on the hall table I should go through the mail before I
work on the Porsche.

I lay the Porsche keys on the table, put the junk mail in the trashcan
under the table, and notice that the trashcan is full.

So, I put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

Since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash
anyway, I might as well pay the bills first.

I see my checkbook on the table, but there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk,
where I find the bottle of juice that I had been drinking. I'm
going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the juice
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

But the juice is getting warm, and should be put in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.

Heading toward the kitchen with the juice, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye. They need to be watered.

I set the juice down on the counter, and find my reading glasses,
for which I've been searching all morning.

I had better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water
the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with
water, and suddenly spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table. Tonight when we sit down to
watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will
remember that it's on the kitchen table.

I should put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers. I splash some water on the flowers, but most of
it spills on the floor.

So, I put the remote back down on the table, and get some towels to
wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to
do.

At the end of the day: the porsche has not been touched, the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm bottle of juice sitting on the counter, the flowers
aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook

I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't
remember what I did with the Porsche keys.

I'm trying to figure out why nothing got done today; it's quite
baffling because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really
tired.

I know this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you?

Forward this message to whomever you think might enjoy it, because I
don't remember who I've already sent it to.

Try taking 100 mg of Ginko every night. Helps with the memory. Now if I can only remember where I put it...

Happens to me all the time. I'm 46. Had a Dr. tell me once "if you forget where you parked your car, no problem. If you forget you have a car, you're *(&^%$."

I have this signature line for a reason.

Often I wake up in a hotel room and can't remember what city I am in. Worse yet, sometimes I don't remember even getting there. Can't say I mind it though...

I am not sure if I feel better or not? Sounds like I have the worst to come yet:eek:
