What you are describing however is an addiction. Pot has no physically addictive properties (unless you mix it with tobacco which has plenty). It can however be psychologically addictive. People respond very differently to pot so its hard to compare, but what you are describing above is a "need" rather than a "desire". That implies a potentially serious addiction.
You see the same tendency in alcoholics and junkies. The inability to function properly without their drug. What you need to do is to act now, before it gets even more difficult. In plain terms you need to quit. Get help if you need it, but just make sure that you stop. If you can pull through the first few weeks things will return to normal (unlike what the other people are implying in the answers below).

It killed the important parts of your brain used to send messages to other parts of your body, and it killed the parts that store memory. So, if you'd like to be an offical blonde, even thought that's not your haircolor, go ahead and keep smoking. But eventually, you'll be dumber than a registered mentally incapable person. Nice work, captain.

and don't pretend we're the first ones to tell you so.
You've been smoking so much pot that it has started to replace the roles of neurotransmitters that are associated with memory formation. Now these neurotransmitters don't function the same way anymore unless you smoke more pot. Eventually, this process is going to kill you.
The effects don't have to be permanent so you never know but unless you stop now, you're pretty much screwed. So put down that joint and go outside and play some ball.

You smoke pot everyday, you're coughing up blood and you wonder what on earth is wrong with you and why you can't remember anything.
Honestly, don't ask if you don't want to hear it.
But please, -don't just- take my word for it: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You're dependant on it and if you don't want to listen, and continue to smoke pot. You go right ahead, just don't come back and ask more obvious questions, i.e. "I smoke pot and now I'm losing it. Why?". [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
