i've always had a problem with my memory. i'm constantly forgetting things. if someone ask me to do something most likely i won't do it. not because i'm lazy but because i don't remember you asked me. or i will tell the same stories over and over to the same people and cant remember ever telling them. it's gotten really bad. it's always been bad, but lately i just cant seem to remember anything. my family thinks it's because i'm not listening or i'm lazy. but i know i'm not lazy and i know i listen to people. i'm worried about this because it's straining my parents' and i's relationship. also i've been diagnosed with ADD. does that have anything to do with it? what are my possible diagnosis? anyone else have the same problem? and what do you do to help it?

and this is really stupid but i did actually have somthing else to say but iv forgotten it... i think it was somthing like change somthing in your natural environment to remind you that you needed to do somthing today (like turn a picture on its side or somthing) [ annon's advice column | Ask annon A Question ]

Are you on medication? Certain medications can cause short term memory delay. Therefore, You might want to see a doctor and let him know about the problem. As far as I know ADD...doesn't cause short term memory problems. [ BahaiMa22's advice column | Ask BahaiMa22 A Question ]
