Do you forget things easily?

Yes those things are kind of normal for everyone, but what is not normal is me forgetting the names of people i knowa or barely know everytime i talk about them or even talk to them, it's a little bit embarassing and i don't know if i'am the only one that has this problem or is there anyone else like me.

OMG!!!! it seems if I can remember anything these days. I have looked for my glasses and they were on my forehead,, I can see a telephone number on the TV and before the commercial is over I have forgotten your number and I mean the entire number is gone... I have been driving and realized there was a stop sign back there and I don't remember stopping..I know I sound dangereous but I promise you I am not. My memory is just sssssooooo bad at times...then there are times when I can remember incidents that wasn't even memorable...

I do. And I have had this memory issue even during my childhood. May be my brain was damaged when I fell down the stairs. Since the onset is when I am really nervous, I think it has something to do with my ability or inability to cope with stress. I too check my keys, and at times, even after checking that the door is locked, I forget. I forget that I paid some bills. Lucky me I pay with checks. So I am safe.

I do and i really want to get rid of that.Once i forget and lost my ticket cf the cinema on my way there.And also i've been lost my purse but fortunately i found it luckily.I feel so aweful sometime.But anyway,i always find ways to overcome my bad memory.lol Have a nice day.

That's the same problem I was having. In fact, just a few minutes ago I was looking for a paper where I wrote all my passwords. I even told them not to move my things when I left it on the table. But then as I went back to my room feeling furious, I saw the paper behind my pillow Dunno what I'm gonna say tomorrow if they asked me where I found these.

I wouldn't call myself very sharp when it comes to memory but rarely do I forget to do something or something that I kept somewhere or even something that I read somewhere sometimes back.

I usually dont forget things either. About a month ago i left the house to catch the bus then realize i forgot the cell phone. The bus was already coming and i didnt want to take alater one so i had to go on with out it. Then just 2 days ago i go otu the door and start to left my yard when i realize i forgot to put my glasses on. I had to go back inside to get them.

Hi Neelia, when i was still a student, i remembered that i always forgot where i had put my pen or even pencil. Only when i had tried finding it for several times, then only i am able to discovered it. So usually, i will put my pen or pencil in an area, where i can remembered, after i had used it. After i had practiced a few times, as to remembered, as where i had put my lost items, i feels that my memory is doing fine now. I think my memory had become more alert and sharp, since i started to work. Until now, i think i am not as forgetful as my student years ago. I can always remembered to where i had put all my useful items.

I have been forgetful for many years. Age has brogut me the wisdom to accept it and make lists, do one thing at a time and place important things in only one place, no matter how much in a hurry I am. I began to lose the capacity for doing everything at once before I was 40. At first I blamed it on stress, but now I think that the proccess is more complex. Have a nice day and happy posting.

It just sounds like you are doing too much and have too many things on your mind, like most of us now! Forgetting where we put things is often the result of the stress and anxiety we now suffer from living in such a frenetic world. We have so much and so many bits and pieces to keep an eye on that we are bound to forget at least one of them!

Depends on what things. Sometimes it happens to me that I go out of my place to go somewhere, just to go back because I forgot my cell phone home, and then I get home and go out again without my cellphone, I forgot it. So sometimes I have memory as short as three seconds. And yet again I remember some stupid meaningless things that happened a few years ago clearly. My memory is strange, sometimes it's sharp, other times I feel like a very stupid person.

Forget things easily. I always misplace my belongings and spend hours finding them . :(

huh, I'm a king of memory loss, some times I can't remember simple thing like now, I don't know what was I wanted to say exactly.

I have always been like that, search for my keys wallet an phone at least once a day. It is terrriable but for me it is beacause I am absent minded and do not alway pay attention to other things when I'am think about something or doing something else. It is natural and should not concern you, but if it is really bad you should consult with your GP just to be on the safe side.

Believe me, I know how that goes! I have had "old timer's" disease (as opposed to alzheimers) but now I can blame my bad memory on "chemo brain" since I have been in chemotherapy for most of the last two years with a break in the middle...even before that I would have things "slip my mind". I always thought that happened more with age, but it's pretty bad when your mind slips before you are 40! Now I have to write things down or I don't get them right. This is especially true of appointments. And it seems that I have to write them myself or it isn't right. One appointment was written down as 13:40 (1:40) but I didn't see the one at first until after I got a reminder call telling me about it so I almost didn't show up until 3:40! Oh well...we all have problems to deal with! Have a great weekend!!!

I can say I'm not forget things easily even there are times that I left my cell phone. But those happen are very rare...

I do have the same problem of forgetting when I try to tell something or a thing which I placed earlier. I think this is a symptom of aging in our memory. ha! ha! I believe this situation will become worse when we are getting older. At this moment, I am trying to consume sufficient of nutrition daily and to practice my brain by learning new things very often.

I have no memory problem except for one thing: where have I parked my car? Often I walk like a desperate in the streets around my home or my workplace looking for it. Always I'm confused about the place where I parked today or yesterday or day before yesterday and sometimes I think somone has stolen!

i am like you, i forget things easily and it really disturb me for doing my activities. it really annoying. i don't want to be like this.Many time i ahve to struggle just for find remote tv. when i have to go test for a job,i have to go back from my destination because i forgot bring the requirements, and it really tiring for me. for solving this problem,i try to look the cause of this. i find an interesting article about it, it is said that, we easily forgot things because we always do something in sameway. so it makes brain couldn't get the recent information well because brain has the same data before.so when we trying to remind what happen, something that will show in our mind is past data. for solving this, the article suggest us for doing something uncommon, just the opposite like everyday. but not always. and i have tried this one, and it gives me a good impact.

Good day neelia_lyn, can I ask you a question before I respond to your discussion topic??? Why do you have the _ between your names, why not a - instead? The reason I ask this is because I see it everywhere here in mylot and so I just wondered why if I am missing the meaning of it or if it is just a very common typo error. Back to your topic of discussion...I am not having any memory problems yet but I see it with a few of my friends that are the same age as me and we are only 28 years old so I don't think it is always anything to do with age. I am sure it has a lot to do with stress and life style. Stress can do things to people that most people wouldn't even associate with stress. My mother has nerve damage in her ears because of stress and it causes her all kinds of problems with dizzyness. littlemissy here signing off for now, talk to you soon my friend
