Day to day memory extremely bad

NAS37690

Hi everyone

i am having a very hard time getting around this issue. My memory wipes. It literally wipes as if I wake up everyday a different person and have to start all over again. When I wake in the morning i completely forget my ‘routine’ And how to go about the day. Physically I am not available either and my body isn’t responsive. All my thoughts, feelings and information processed, experiences even from yesterday are non existent. When I try to piece things together, things remain extremely vague as if it was somebody else receiving this information. An example of something I experience is I forget things about myself.

Cab someone please shed some light on this? I don’t understand it, it seems to be getting worse and I’m worried.

thank you! 

  • If the doctor is not reacting the way you expect, rite down your symptoms. You can just copy this post and show to the GP. Demand that they react on that, not other MH problems.

    Go to a different doctor in your GP surgery, to the one who is ell experienced and listens well. The ait could be a little longer, but insist on seeing him/her.

    You can also register with a different surgery. 

  • I'd say you see a doctor...if you don't like them or it isn't an option, drink filtered water and try to take walks in the sun---heh.
    But really, I'd suggest you give yourself some personal-time. People are really optimistic when it comes to recovery if you stave off whatever gives you the issue. Could be partly psychological and partly physical, but if you pamper yourself and try to reduce stress your memory may recover. Much of what you are describing sounds like an issue in memory-storage. Short term memories are stored into long-term memory (in the brain) at night while you sleep. If there is something wrong with your quality of sleep?? you will potentially find answers there.
    Avoiding eating about 5 hours before bed and you're likely to sleep more soundly. 

    So bottom line it really seems like your memories aren't being recorded, I mean, it describes your symptoms very well. Honestly if you see any doctor I'd remind them of the bold lettering above because I believe its still considered a neurological fact, and they can direct you to the right specialist. Don't want you getting overlooked. I totally believe you.

    I think your doctor needs to take you a bit more seriously, maybe make another appointment with a different doctor? Honestly I have an acquired brain injury as well as Aspergers and your memory sounds a lot worse than mine, I can manage my working memory issues by writing lists/plans and setting reminders on my mobile. I really think that your doctor needs to rule out an organic cause of your memory loss.

    Yes I have mentioned it my doctor but it’s been brushed off because I have other things (mental health wise) he seems to refer back to as if they are causing it. It’s just starting to get to me now as it can worsen on some days more than others. Another thing that’s stopped me from getting too concerned up to now is the fact that I start to remember things gradually though fragmented .

  • Yeah I also think that you really need to see a doctor ASAP!

  • Um, see your doctor? sounds like you need a serious medical opinion with this.
