Do you remember what you typed on here?

Stuart333

I look back at things I have typed on here and I don't remember them. It is like I am reading them anew. I think they sound quite good or better than I would say, but not recognise it as mine (without seeing the name). I suppose some stick if they are super memorable but this is very few.

I do this with emails too.  I seem to have a fairly short memory window. I have full details for a short while then it goes. It has always been like this.

I am not sure if it is normal or not, or indicative of something else.

  • I think it depends on the state of my mind when I write and what else I'm doing. If it's responding to a few things together I can lose track.

    If you write a lot of your thoughts out when chatting with ai, maybe it's easier to lose track of what you said were?

    When I read the section of my report that I did in person, there was some details that I could not remember happening at all which was really weird. I got very confused, and then some detail jogged my memory that I realised it did happen, but all I remember is being so hyper stressed everything was feeling hazy at that point (or was best the beginning i think). So I think I've blocked some of it. Memory is strange.

    Stress can stop memories, but threat mode can reinforce them. Trauma stuff can be frozen, if not processed.

    I remember scenes and images, but words not so well. I think that is partly normal.

    Issues with working memory can be an autistic trait. I think this is due to stress and how calm you are.

    I have been doing some mental arithmetic puzzles. When calm there are easy, when not calm they take a lot longer. It is like a proxy for how regulated I am.
