My memory isn't what is used to be. I'm a female and only seventeen years old.
My memory used to be impeccable, and I could recall anything and everything. I've forgotten many little facts of my life. I once knew the whole family's birthdays; some family members I'd never even met. I have forgotten them now. With my past boyfriends I knew every little detail about them, their history, and even their parent's lives and I only needed to hear it once to remember it. And now with my new man, I know nothing about him. We've talked about it alllll on many different occassions, but no matter how many times he tells me about himself... I can't remember. I still forget his birthday, and it's been a year since we got together. That might not seem like a huge deal, but it's the oppisite of my past behaviors. That kills me, because his memory is amazing (as mine used to be) and he knows every little thing about me. It makes me feel so distant and awful that I don't know anything about one of the very most important people to me. It's scaring me.
I've noticed the "memory loss" occurring over the past year and a half, I'd like to say. Now I can't even remember if I took my medicine twenty minutes ago, if and when I ate last, and what I did today. I would research this on Google, but I'm not sure how to word it. Would this be "short term memory loss", "long term memory loss"? Heck, could it even be called "memory loss" at all? Or is it just more of being weird and lazy? I really can't pinpoint what is causing this. I would just really like to find some sort of answer somewhere, but how could I go about doing so?
