I'm getting worried


Question Posted Monday April 13 2009, 3:40 pm

So for the past couple of months some things have been happening to me that are starting to make me worry.
I've always had the most amazing memory, I've always been able to remember small details about everything. Like what the weather was like that day or what I was wearing, how I felt, etc.
But for the past couple of months my memory has been bad. I still remember things from a long time ago but I can't remember recent events anymore. And it's not normal for me.
I don't remember what I did over the weekend and who I talked to and what about.
I don't do drugs so that's not why my memory is slipping.
Also, I keep feeling like after I say something or do something, that I didn't really do it.
Like for an example, if I'm having a conversation and I say something, right after I feel like I really didn't say it, like I just thought I did but didn't.
I have to ask the people if I actually said or did anything.
I know I'm not explaining it all that well, but I'm trying to the best I can. It's hard to explain.
And I'm constantly questioning things that I know are for certain.
Example: Someone tells me that they want to talk about something. I start to wonder what they want to talk about. My heart starts pounding, I start to think about what they could possibly want to talk about and then start to think anything I could have done wrong.
If it's after the weekend I try to remember my weekend. If I stayed home all weekend I start to wonder "Maybe I went out." Even though I KNOW I stayed home ALL weekend. I sit there and think "Well, maybe I did go out...but I know I was home all weekend... but maybe I'm wrong?"
It's driving me crazy.
My slipping memory is affecting my life.
I don't feel in control of myself anymore

This sounds like a serious problem that you should talk to your parents and a doctor about. You may have gotten a concussion without even realizing it, or you may be showing early sypmtoms of short term memory loss. Definitely go to a doctor and get some tests done though.
