Ok so I am 16 and I'm losing my mind. I feel like I can't remember some simple things like where I left something I was using the day before. I know that you could loose your short term memory later on in life but not now! I am going out of my mind looking for this ring I lost. It is very special to me (a gift) and I really can't remember anything about it. I realized I lost it about a week ago and when I went to retrace my steps, I couldn't remember the last time that I had the ring. I can remember things that happened years ago, as clear as day, but why can't I find this ring? Is there something wrong with me? I don't know what to do anymore because I'm beginning to loose other stuff and then I go out of my mind looking for it. Please help.
If you are not on medication and just having trouble remembering what you did with something it's normal. We all have experienced it. My tip for you would be to get a little box or if you choose a shoe box and put your valuables and other things such as keys or stuff you don't want to misplace directly into it.
Then put that under your bed or on a shelf and always return the items to it. What I also do is use my parent's file cabinet and create a file with my name on it where I put bills, concert tickets etc and any valuables in a box at the back. This ensures you never loose anything again of importance.
I know your ring will turn up again. Don't stress about it but try cleaning your room again and look to see if it rolled off a shelf or under your bed if you took it off while sitting on it.
Perhaps the key thing that will help you locate it is to ask yourself what are the reasons I would take this off? What would i have been doing? Where and or what are the only places I would take it off my fingers? Start with that and start to look again and ask others where they last remember seeing you with it.
Definitely be sure to check out bathrooms or ledges on the shower or tub where soap goes etc as you may have taken it off in the shower and never looked there. Stranger things have happened when an item is misplaced. Good luck! [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

But if you relax, it'll most likely come to you, or you'll find it easier. It happens to me all the time, you're definitely not losing your mind. =) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
