Brain Picks Bag

  i have memory loss, how can i treat it?
  

  i forget to drink water, i forget to take showers, do the dishes, bring my bag to school, pick up my brother from the bus stop, i forget to do my homeswork and i fail on test because i cannot remember, and i also fail at memory games.

  i took online tests and they said i had long term memory loss, short term memory loss and brain fog (?). i have a horrible memory and it is undiagnosed. my parents think of it as just some excuse that i am making up to not do anything.

  HELP!!!

  go to a doctor to make sure its nothing progressive,and to get a name put on it if possible,because it can make a big difference in outcome depending on diagnosis.

  unfortunately for many of us with memory problems through a condition/injury,the only real help is using aids,being reminded by others and coping skills.
  for some people,it can be helped with medication,so its always worth finding out incase its something that can be helped.

  but things like not having enough liquid can really mess up someones memory-see if someone will make sure to remind of some regular drinks of water,or use something like a PDA which can set off an alarm to remind for things.

  also,to the user who mentioned dyslexia being ruled out because of a clear post,some dyslexics write messages in open office/ms word first before posting,and some with severe forms use speech to text software such as dragon,so a clear post isnt always a sign of someone not having a dyslexia type difficulty,but then having a messy post isnt always a sign of dyslexia either so can never really tell.
