My Memory Sucks And Is Driving Me Mad

[Kintsugi]

@joeylittle's air notes totally work so far. I have been able to remember every air note, and I can still remember them all right now (a couple days later).

They work so well that I told my co-worker, who has similar memory issues, about them and encouraged her to give them a go.

I'm so glad! :tup:

I've sat here and read all the replies, and now I have come to write what I wanted I have forgotten what you all said :( I forget I have written threads, never remember therapy sessions ( and she sends me notes every week via e-mail ) and I still don't remember. I write notes then forget the notes. I got a diary and forget where I put the diary.

I talk to my friend and tell her the same thing like 6 times, Ive got to the stage that I have said to her please just tell me straight away when I've already told you something. It makes you not want to go out or start talking to people as you have no idea what you have said before.

One of the biggest problems is meeting people that I know that I should know but have no idea who they are and have to pretend that I know who they are until I can get more information and guess who they are.

Yo, two weeks later and I thought I'd drop a line about this subject. My memory problems are still persistently bad due to avoidance/stress etc., but the air notes continue to be the one strategy that seems to work. They're so effective that both of my co-workers now use them regularly, as we can't remember a whole lot between us. :p
